On a personal note…

People choose invitations and paper goods to express the mood and feeling of an event.  For Jasmine Star of Jasmine Star Photography, correspondence and packaging to her clients complement her personal and company style and brand. Having a love for stationary and valuing a handwritten notes personal touch, Jasmine had us create simple, yet elegant letterpress notecards with matching envelopes.  To see the full article featuring Jasmine’s notecards, see Professional Photographer Magazine.

DIY Menu Idea

If you are on a budget or just simply want to create some of your wedding paper goods yourself, we created this simple menu idea to help.  The nice thing about it, is that you can personalize the menu with the guests’ names and even specify food selections, which can help your banquet staff know who is eating what.  It definitely takes time to “do it yourself,”  but gives you creative possibilities and a sense of pride and accomplishment when you see your finished work.  See the full article with instructions:

Resort Chic Mexico

So, I wasn’t actually one of the lucky ones to be at Ryan and Brita’s wedding in Mexico, but I did get to be a part of their amazing “resort chic” wedding as Details a la carte created the paper goods.  Many people have asked what was meant by the term “resort chic,” which was used on the invitation for attire. Truly it was a casual, yet fashionably elegant beach feel.  It was light weight clothes and suits were linen, dress pants, stylish open toed shoes and cute spring dresses.  We carried the theme of the location and vibe throughout the save the dates, invitations, escort cards, table numbers, welcome cards and programs.  The pieces were created using linen fabric and white cotton paper. The colors of orange, pink and brown could be seen through graphics of bougainvillea, which were flowers around the location and birds of paradise, which were the brides favorite flower and used for her bouquet.
