Watercolor Guest Book

I love the idea of having a guestbook you can display in your home and enjoy every day. This watercolor of Decatur House was painted by Mary Belcher, a local artist who creates custom works and can help you select the perfect piece for signing and displaying. What a great way to remember the big day!

Design District

From the invitation before the wedding to the dessert bar at the very end, pretty paper goods can help  you establish a theme, and set the tone for your whole wedding. Luckily, Rebecca Schley of Design District, can do it all, creating anything from invites to favor tags, giving your wedding a perfect personalized touch. Rebecca tells us about her graphic design experience and what trends to expect for 2013:
What is Design District, and how did it get it’s start?

Design District is my freelance design business.  I am a graphic designer based in DC, and I specialize in designing print collateral – from brochures to invitations to menus.

I got my start designing for events and weddings after an event planner saw my work and asked me if I could design paper good items for her events.  I still do some corporate work but the majority of my clients are now event related. I happily work with both planners to brides themselves.

If you haven’t noticed, it is FOOTBALL season! I know that most of the boys – and quite a few girls – in my life are glued to the games these days. As a nod to fall, how about having custom jersey’s serve as your guest book? This wedding used the day and new shared last name on their set. Fun, right?!

Elizabeth Porcher Jones

 I have an envelope that Elizabeth Porcher Jones sent to me earlier this year and it sits on my desk so that I can look at her beautiful calligraphy daily. I just love seeing my name and home address scripted so beautifully – it makes me oh-so-happy!

She had her own new stationery set that is a collaboration between her and Stitch. Today, I am posting a few pictures to show it off…and soon, I will share her new website with you all! 

Happy Thursday!
