WE WERE BLOGGED!

The WM wedding keeps popping up, and that's a good thing, because we love them!

Their fabulous photographer Yvonne Wong did a beautiful post of their wedding on her blog, and we were lucky enough to get a shout out! Woot! Woot! The WM wedding invitation and escort cards {This was such a last minute addition to their wedding suite that it flew out the door before we were able to blog about it. So here you go, the WM escort cards!} were pictured amongst all of the oh-so-artsy shots she got that day. Yvonne, you have got some eye lady...incredible!

OT . professional photos

okay...so the fabulous OT did their wedding day some serious justice by getting one of the best photographers to capture it all. jose villa is simply divine. not only is he great { understatement! } at what he does but he is a genuine & sincere guy. those qualities definitely translate in his work, wouldn't you say? he went out of his way to send over some of the fantastic shots he got of the OT invitation. thank you jose and here is to hoping our paths cross again, soon...you can take our picture any day!

OUR NEW ADDITION

It has been a while since our last post but we have some exciting news that should make it worth the wait.

We have an addition to the a&c family! It's our new {to us} baby press! Isn't she a beauty?





We found her in a converted old chicken barn in the middle of an old farm. You would not believe all of the presses and press related things that were packed in that one space. It was like heaven! And we are still processing all of the history and information her foster father {above} had to share with us during our two day visit.

In this shot alone {below} I see 6 different letterpresses.....can you imagine what the space to the left and right had in it. It was a literal treasure chest! The moving process to the city was way less of an ordeal as she is a mere 100 pounds. That and she sits atop a restored type chest...on wheels. The sidewalks of New York City had nothing on her and compared to our other beast, moving her was a breeze!



Her name was naturally Jr., because who could forget her big sister, our first love. Welcome to the family little Miss Jr.

WE WERE BLOGGED!

a little birdie sent us this link! and if you look at the montage of yellow images, you will see the WM wedding invitations in there! thank you christina at zinke design for loving our work and giving us a shout out in your storyboard credits!

WE WERE BLOGGED!

...kinda {continued}.

We love the response that the OT wedding is getting and thanks to Jose Villa's extremely talented eye, he was able to capture the event flawlessly, of course.

So this is one of those we were blogged, but not really, posts like yesterday. Camille, over at Style Notes loved the Style Me Pretty post so much that she re-posted it and the pictures of the OT wedding invitation made the cut, thus we have been blogged, by association, again! Regardless of how exactly a picture of our piece got there, we are just as thrilled!

WE WERE BLOGGED!

....well...kinda.

stumbled upon the blog hello lovely things, and well, fell in love. and, in the midst of delight as each post was devoured, LOOK what we came upon!

though we were not exaaaaactly blogged...we were pictured! elaine, with a serious eye for design, loved the OT wedding. she ended up posting the pictures of the OT wedding that were featured on style me pretty, that jose villa submitted {do you follow?}, so thus we're considering it blogged...by association that is! either way, we are super excited to be a part of the OT wedding that elaine said would be what her fairytale wedding looked like.

AB . menu professional photos

A bitter-sweet Monday. The last of the Abby Ross photos to share with you.

These are the photos that Abby took of the table settings at the AB wedding which featured our letterpressed dinner menus. As you can see we planned in our design to incorporate the same custom died silk ribbon wrap that we used on the AB invitations. The menus were the same size as the main invitation panel as well as had the same embossed pattern backing. Since the wedding was full of repeating patterns we thought we would carry that theme through by repeating little touches throughout the course of the event {Our take on subliminal messaging. Muahaha!} So, this was one of the ways we did that {Another way we did this was repeating the paper garland. The table signage at the AB wedding was the same as the invitation inserts garland).

We got off on a tangent there. So, without further ado, here are the last of the amazing photos that Abby Ross took of the a&c pieces at the AB wedding. Thank you so much Abby! Your work is stunning!



Aren't the table numbers awesome?! Each menu on the table had a wooden number tied up in the silk ribbon. This was table 6...


...and this was table 4, for example.




One last thing...make sure to check out Abby's personal blog. It's absolutely delicious!

AB . event signage professional photos

This is a treat for you...at least we think so. We never blogged about the making of the signage for the AB wedding, but trust us, there was a lot of it!

As you know, we are big fans of design and really believe in carrying your design throughout your entire event and in all printed pieces that you may have. To us, that means all fonts should be consistent, all colors should coordinate and all design should be done with the same integrity. Even down to the reserved seating signs on your ceremony chairs, no joke, just look at the second and third picture here.

It was a huge treat, for us, when we saw the photos from Abby Ross. She worked her photo fairy magic and was able to cover all basis of the AB wedding. I think it helps to have a photographer who is just as into the details...that way, not-a-one is missed.

This is a picture of one of three signs we created for the AB wedding. We had one that said "Wedding," one that said "Parking" and one that led guests to the ceremony site. That one is pictured below. Recognize the font? You should! We are such detail freaks that we did the printing on these directional wood signs so that they coordinated with the AB wedding suite perfectly.

And, can I just quickly remind you of where else you have seen the phrase "Future Mr. & Mrs. B" Oh, the coordination makes us squeal with delight....you?




And here you can see the reserved seating signs tied to the backs of the ceremony chairs. These were for the family walking down the aisle. They acted as place holders so that seats were saved for the wedding party after they took their walk. They were also flooded with one of the signature AB wedding patterns. And yes, it was letterpressed!


You may be able to see the reserved seating signs a little better in the photo...


And, we couldn't leave the lemonade table out of the party. A paper garland of letterpressed pattern and custom died silk ribbon adorned the front of the lemonade table {as well as the photo booth table, not shown}.


Thank you Abby Ross for capturing ALL of these details we worked so hard on and are so proud of sharing, in part because of your amazing skills.

AB . escort card professional photos

More great shots from Abby Ross. She really did a great job getting shots of each piece we created for the AB wedding, even down to the tiny escort cards we did! Thank you Abby!

AB . ceremony program professional photos

Abby Ross did it again. She is genius at capturing settings and the things in them. Love the last picture of the AB programs in a row on the chairs with the rolling hills in the background. Thank you Abby, your eye makes us look so good!
