Grace Amore Invitations

Just Finished: Wedding Ensemble

noreply@blogger.com (Grace Amore) — Wed, 15 Jul 2009 02:59:00 +0000

I had the opportunity to create this ensemble for a classy couple who had an intimate second wedding this past week. We used the paper color combination of gold, lavender and ecru with chocolate brown satin ribbon and crystal accents. It turned out beautiful! This ensemble can be created in your choice of color combination to match your style and wedding.

7 x 7 invitation with lavender backing and ecru printed layer. 3 layer RSVP and direction card are held on the reverse side in the chocolate brown ribbon wrap.

Wine Selection tent card can also be printed as a table number/name tent card. Upgraded seating card included a second backing layer of lavender and a crystal embellishment on each.

5.5 x 8.5 ecru printed menu with ribbon wrap and custom 2x2 monogram tag with backing layers of lavender and gold.

At Jimmee & Jose's wedding I got to work with one of the coolest ladies. I know wedding coordinators can get a rep, but this gal is totally different. Rebecca Calagna is beyond words. She's so together and on it! She let me do my thing and everything else was perfectly in place every time we turned around.

If you need anything for your wedding, give her a call. You will not regret it! Just an awesome outlook on life and organization which is so perfect for your wedding day. Everyone wants to be surrounded by nice, happy people and when your wedding planner is that person and by the way, making everything run super smooth...that sounds like a win-win situation to me.

And finally, since Blogs are the "Happenin' Thing" I have added one to my Site: I plan on using this to post wedding photos, company updates and wedding trend/style tips!

Happy Planning!

Best of the OC Hotlist 2008 Winners!

Jordana lives in NY and likes to send out photos of her daughter Ava to family and friends, BUT all the notecards are too small to fit a 4x6 photo and she has to end up cutting the photos. Well, she came in contact with me and I custom designed some oversized notecards for her so she will no longer have to cut the pictures!

Here is what she had to say...

"Hi Rebecca - Just got the cards today. I love them! A friend of mine has a blog, mamabirddiaries.com and she recommends different services and prodcuts. I told her how happy I was with you and I'll let you know if she puts you on her site. Thanks again - I will definitely be ordering from you again!!"

Check out the Blog! Jordana is a contributing "Mama" and it is awesome :)

Here is the notecard (pre-folded)... The frog is a family joke, so we added it for that special touch!

Holiday Fun!

noreply@blogger.com (Grace Amore) — Wed, 12 Dec 2007 23:05:00 +0000

As Holiday parties are in full swing, here are some unique ideas to incorporate into your get-together to have your guests pleased!

Holiday Candy Buffet -
Decorate a sideboard with apothecary jars or glass containers filled with red, white and green candies.

Hot Chocolate Bar -
Fill a Snowman beverage dispenser like the one shown here with Hot Coco. Take serving dishes (also shown) and set them around with toppings such as: mini marshmallows, candy canes, and white chocolate chunks.

A Signature Cocktail-
Make a version of these cocktails below, but in red or green! Use rock candy swizzle sticks for a special touch and call them, "Merry Martinis"!

For decorating, try these fun ideas:

Holiday Wire -
String floral wire across your room or doorway and hang cards and ornaments! It will make a wonderful focal piece for your Christmas Cards. Display your own Holiday family photos or Scrapbooking abilities. The possibilities are endless!

Ornament Style -
I have done this for several years. Place ornaments in glass vases around your house for classic and beautiful centerpieces. Try using different height containers and creating a whole display of ornaments, pine cones and berries.

Here is a wonderful link to an article in Good Housekeeping Magazine Online where Martha Stewart shares her easiest, fastest and most fabulous tips for holiday decorating!

Martha Stewart Makes Merry

Merry Christmas & Lots of Holiday Love From Grace Amore!! May your Holiday parties be blessed with laughter and lots of creativity!
