We are under way!
Wow! What a summer! It's only just begun, but I am busy, busy, busy! First off, I just got a new computer and am busy transferring files from my old one to my new one
Where to begin...
Graduation invitations and thank you cards! Congrats, Grads!!
I have had a lot of bridal showers recently and have had a blast putting together invitations and decorations for those. I find myself saying yes to any project, and I feel this makes my people happy as well as expand my own horizons. I even designed a pair of Hearts cards that were 20"x30" for a bride and her husband-to-be. They turned out great, and according to a bridesmaid were quite a hit! Always great to hear.
My good friends, Dan and Regina just got married in Pennsylvania this past weekend. The wedding was so much fun, and the best part was that I got to have an excuse to hang out with Regina a lot before (and after) she moved from DC to start her married life back in Philly. We spent so much time having a blast while creating the programs and donation cards. I'd have to say that's the best part of doing this. I get to see so many different creative opinions and ideas AND spend fulfilling time with people I love dearly.
One of my best friends, Laura, is HAVING A BABY in August! Those shower invites were so much fun to do, and I have also created a stencil of the baby's name that I will paint on the nursery wall next week. I am so excited to see how this will turn out.
I am working on wedding programs for a wedding whose invites I did back in May. Mallory and Jason have an indigo color scheme, which has proven to be quite popular here recently, yet also VERY difficult to match colors to. Everything is too navy or too purple. No worries, though! Embellished by Emily has it down! The programs are tri-fold, and I am very excited to see them in print!
Just got word today that I have another bridal shower coming up in August with a brown and pink theme (yay!) and I am so excited to work on those.
It seems every time I log into Facebook, another friend is engaged or pregnant. Congratulations to all of you blessed friends of mine, and keep me in your brains if you find yourself finished with everything but invitations and all things paper!
I look forward to working with my autumn/winter wedding brides soon. In the meantime, catch those fireflies, and I hope to hear from ya!
Warmly,
Emily

So much coming up
Summer is coming right up, and with that comes WEDDINGS!
A good friend's wedding was this past Saturday, and since I did all things visual (and was a bridesmaid) for that party, I must say I am a bit relieved that it is over. However, I am finding myself having withdrawals from hydrangeas of all colors. Best wishes to J+K and their marriage together!
The good news is, I am currently working on two more weddings coming up in June and August. And babies out the wazoo! We have a first birthday party in the middle of May
R+D are good friends so I couldn't help myself but to offer up my services when they announced their engagement over a year ago. I must say, I have quite outdone myself with their wedding announcements. They are so gorgeous and elegant.
M+J are getting married in August, and my sister is a bridesmaid in that wedding. I did announcements/programs for M's sister's wedding in December, and I guess she liked the way those turned out, so I was hired! Naturally, she wants something completely different than her sister's wedding since they're getting married only eight months apart. I am up to the challenge, and am very happy with how those are turning out.
Baby M turns 1 on May 16, and I am very excited to be putting together the invitations for his first birthday party. M's aunt is a wonderful photographer, so once she sends me a disc of baby pix, I can get started on those.
I hope my clients in the east enjoy these few spring days and my western clients make the most of their blizzard!

Bridezillas!
Good afternoon!
I have a confession: I DVR episodes of Bridezillas, and it is hysterical! I don't know where these people come from, because I have never had the misfortune of meeting ANYONE like these women. One part that I find interesting about the show, however, is that there really isn't a focus on the invitations or announcements.
Unfortunately, I think a lot of people put off invitations until the last second. Aside from the exchanging of vows, the rest of your wedding day/weekend is a party for your guests. Wouldn't you want your guests to get the absolute best first impression of a party you are throwing?
Unlike on Bridezillas, I promise I won't misspell your name :)

Babies, babies, babies!
Good evening!
I just found out that another friend of mine is pregnant. That makes 4 current expecting mothers. I think these things usually occur in 3's, so that means 2 more people connected to me out there in the universe are knocked up and just haven't shared the news :)
Congrats, ladies! This is such a fantastic time. With new babies, come birth announcements, all sorts of invitations (christenings, birthday parties, graduations) excuses for awesome Christmas cards, etc! The fun is just beginning, and I am here to help you show the world how much fun and blessed your life is.
Keep me posted!

Lindsey & Troy
Over my brief trip home to Kentucky for Christmas, I was able to see Lindsey and Troy get married. The church, Anchor Baptist, is absolutely stunning, and Lindsey's family did a fantastic job transforming Anchor's recreation room into a gorgeous reception venue.
The happy couple's photographer was JoAnna Liston. She really captured the spirit of the day and the love and spirituality these two share together. Check out the slideshow she posted on her site of Lindsey and Troy. The very first image is the invitation I designed and assembled for their special day.
Lindsey and Troy - Best of luck in your new life together. Love you!
JoAnna - Awesome job. Keep it up!
