Baptism

Angie contacted me to create an ensemble to her son's baptism and 1st birthday celebration.  Her color choices were silver navy and brown, she was unsure what colors combination she wanted to go with but she knew she didn't want to use the basic pastel colors. 

We started with so many different designs and ended with a wax seal monogram invitation, in silver, navy and white.  I added crystals to make the invitation pop and although the color of the crystal is a light blue, I think Angie really liked it. 

I really liked how the whole ensemble came out, what do you think of it?

On a side note, I have to share, I was truly impressed with FedEx shipping. I sent out the invitations on Saturday to Canada, and surprisingly my client received them on Monday.  I guess it is true what they say, you get what you pay for.  Thank you Fed Ex for making my client happy.

Lace Wedding Invitation

Our new design. Lace and gold wedding invitation.

Perfect for your Paris themed wedding, this gatefold invitation was created for a very special bride who was having a Paris in the 20's themed wedding. 

We created this multi-layered invitation using gorgeous lace covered matte in blush and black and then added our invitation in shimmery white card stock.  We added Swarovski crystals to give it a little more elegance. On the front we tied off the invitation using an art deco gold buckle that really brought the 1920's theme together. 

My lovely bride loved this invitation so much, she wanted this to really stand out with her guests, we placed it in a padded presentation box to ship it to her guests.  

I heard back from her and she said that her guests loved the invites so much, they couldn't stop talking about it. I always love hearing that!

Emilia's Couture Invitation

I just got the most amazing review on WeddingWire from a customer, I honestly can say I was floored when I received this. I actually hadnt heard from Emilia since I sent the invitations, I got a little nervous.  Of course I know she has been busy planning her big destination wedding which is coming up in November.  She is getting married in Hawaii (yes Im a little jealous :) ), to her lovely man Fausto.  They are having family and friends come in from all over the place to attend this lovely and elegant affair.

We actually spoke after I got the review and what perfect timing it was, as it turns out some of the invitations that were sent to Italy were lost in the mail she was frantic about them.  I have created the new invitations for her and they will be shipped out today, but since I am in a sharing mood, I thought this would be a good time to share the invitations with you.

But first, you have to read this review... Absolutely amazing!

I can not say enough about marlene from Amira designs. Her stationary is beyond beautiful, she is very accommodating, responds quickly. I have gotten so many compliments on my invites. I was told they looked like a royal invite, i have seen them displayed in glass at my friends homes. 
She help me in finding the perfect material and made my invites the talk of the town...they were beautiful purple flower material pillows with a gorgeous rhinestone broach delivered in a pearl white box. I added a bow and they looked like gifts.. I have never seen or received an invite like hers. Her prices are reasonable for the works of art she provides. Right down to the thank you cards.. 
YOU ARE THE BEST!! 

THANK YOU 
Highly recommended !!!

And now that you have read the review, it is time to see the invitations that inspired such great praise

Each invitation pad was covered in lavender Chinese silk brocade fabric to create a stunning backdrop for the invitation.  We added a ribbon with a beautiful crystal buckle to hold the invitation in place.

The invitation and the additional accessories were printed on snow white metallic card stock.  Once the printing and cutting was done, we added swarovski crystals to the invitation and accompanying stationery.

After all was said and done, we placed a white satin pillow inside this gorgeous white metallic box so the invitation can have a nice home.

So what do you think of this? Was it worth the review?

Hope you have a fantastic day, with more clients like Emilia I cant have bad days. I am truly blessed.

TaTa for now, until next time.
