Ladyfingers Letterpress

Onida Cruz — Mon, 18 Apr 2011 08:10:21 +0000

Ladyfingers Letterpress specializes "in hand-made, custom-designed letterpressed wedding invitations for every definition of love!" Arley-Rose Torsone and her partner Morgan Calderini Morgan own and operate their small custom wedding invitation business out of Providence, Rhode Island. They are making efforts to reach engaged LGBT couples in the planning stages of their wedding. I am in love with the multicolored graphic designs. Each of the invitations I've seen from Ladyfingers looks worthy of a picture frame.

Ladyfingers Letterpress runs a "10 Percent 4 Love" campaign, where they donate 10% of each order to the Human Rights Campaign, an organization that works for equal rights and marriage equality in America. LOVE IT! Makes me want to do more to promote social change in this country as well. Check out a few of their designs below and visit them on the web here.

Birdman's Daughter Bria's $60k 13th Birthday Party

Onida Cruz — Fri, 25 Mar 2011 01:14:53 +0000

Today I visited one of my favorite blogs The YBF where Blogger Natasha highlighted "Birdman's Daughter Bria's $60,000 "Bling Bling" 13th BIRTHDAY PARTY!" The location was in South Beach, Miami.

"Apparently, Mr. Birdman had the entire South Beach area shut down for a night while his daughter and her friends partied the night away at the new club Pink Miami.

The deets on inside the party: DJ Khaled DJ'd for the 150+ guests. Celebs like Lil Wayne, Slim (Cash Money Records),Busta Rhymes, Toya Carter, Lil Wayne and Toya’s daughter Reginae Carter, "Real Housewives of Miami" star Alexia Echevarria, and many more all hit up the party. And the entire club was transformed into "Bria's Club" for the night with her own printed money and Bria’s Bubbly special cased and designed strawberry spritzer and apple cider with her face on the bottle.

Celebrity Chef Ashley of The Elegant Experience prepared the food for the evening.

The guests got the VIP treatment as well: An airbrush tattoo artist, a custom made to order blinged out t-shirt for each guest, Kardashian's Dash store, a custom photo pod, and hip hop dancers." Source

Rent the Place Card Butler

Onida Cruz — Wed, 02 Mar 2011 00:49:20 +0000

As we plan my sister's wedding the issue of how to creatively display the escort cards arose and I began to do a little research. I came across the company Write Style Solutions and their inventive creation called the Place Card Butler.

Place Card Butler™ , a practical and vertical display for place cards, encourages creativity to design with fabrics, ribbons,papers, flowers, and photos. The Butler is an upscale acrylic panel that may be decorated easily by any bride or event planner. Source

Loving the new product, Bobeche, from Accent Decor. It's an addition for a candelabra or a budvase.

Jumping the Broom

Onida Cruz — Tue, 22 Feb 2011 16:38:44 +0000

While visiting the YBF's blog I got to view the trailer for an upcoming movie titled, "Jumping the Bloom". It's about two African American families from very different social economic backgrounds converging on Martha's Vineyard one weekend for a wedding. "The Game" director and producer Salim Akil (husband of creator Mara Brock Akil) is directed the film. It also stars Angela Bassett, Laz Alonso, Loretta Devine, Tasha Smith, Meagan Good and Julie Bowen. The movie's set for a May 6th, 2011 Mother's Day/my 30th Birthday Weekend release date. Can't wait!
