Have a Bright Night Wedding

When I saw these cool lighted umbrella's I said, "OK!" now there could be something here. Who has ever walked in the rain at night? I know I have, it could be leaving work or going out to eat at night and it just happens to rain.

We'll how about taking some very romantic wedding photo's at night...maybe sneak out while everyone else is eating dinner! These illuminated beauties would make some great wedding props and you could be helping out your photographer also with that extra light.


You won't be breaking the bank, Bright Night umbrella's are only $26.

Tangerine Fields

I've been wanting to post about this wonderful invitation that has been in the shop for about a month now...So here it is!

Tangerine Fields:

Lying with both eyes closed in canary grass, the wind is mild and the sun makes beads of sweat on my brow. A fragrance so sweet entices my senses and with one open eye I see it clear as day, a tangerine bloom all alone. I smile, lie back down and look to the sky and say, "I think I'll call this tangerine field".

This tin invitation is delivered to your guests with their name printed on a belly wrap in vellum.

And nicely tucked into a custom kraft package to be mailed...such an eco feel!

I had fun designing this unique invitation and collaborating with a great designer, Milkysupplies who creates beautiful handmade organza/chiffon blooms in various colors. The designer is all the way from Turkey and it was such a pleasure working with her.

Hope you enjoyed the pics!

Hearts...

With Valentine's Day on my mind... Here's a new invitation fit for the occasion, now available in my shop! Happy lovin'.

Here, the satin black ribbon wraps around the back of the invitation to hold all enclosures and envelopes.

Cupid is approaching...

With the "BIG RED" day approaching, Ah hmmmm. Valentine's Day, my shop has introduced "PLEASE BEE MINE" featuring nervous Harry. Check out this 2 pc. notecard set....He's just so cute.

Happy New Year!

Would you play at my wedding?

Lauren got in touch with me because as she put it, "Is so in LOVE" with my flowergirl tin invitations. In love so much she wanted one for her flowergirl and a special one also made for her ringbearer... why not? the little tots needed to be appreciated too, right!

In addition to having the little ones participate in such an event, Lauren also needed a way to ask a cousin who plays the violin to also be apart of her wedding day. Lauren was very open to any design.

Sarah is a 19 year old, artsy kind of gal so in an elegant way using chocolate, cream and pink... This was my vision.

2 Sisters as Matron of Honors

A customer named Crystal, got in touch with me about a week ago and wanted to order the "Will you be my Matron of Honor" cards from my Etsy shop which she loved.

I don't usually post all my items on my blog because there are so many in which I adore, but I needed to post these two. Crystal's two sisters are unique in their own way as stated by Crystal, "Adele is more traditional, we call her Emily Post" while "Kellye is the more down to earth" sister.

Crystal needed 2 cards that catered to her sisters: This is what ExQuisiteInVitation produced!

Mount Dora Arts & Craft Fair

I had the opportunity of attending the Mount Dora Arts & Craft Fair about 2 weeks ago and needed to post this on my blog because I was so excited to be there. I first heard about this fair 2 years ago when a moved to Florida. It's been said, "It's the largest in the state"...with way over 100 vendors and more than 300,000 in attendance ...with showing dates on both Saturday and Sunday. Upon arrival the town had specialized parking that enabled guests to take a bus to the events, which I thought was way cool and quaint! I walked with my daughter as we seen a blissful of handmade goodies such as hair bows, leather bound books, potpourri, soy candles, home decor, key chains ...and so much more. I enjoyed myself and can't wait to attend again next year, maybe I'll vend because there were hardly any paper goods ;).

Mexico+Baby Shower=?

Yes, Mexico+Baby Shower=?...A friend of mine's wife recently got in touch with me in order to design some baby shower invitations for her sister in-law. The sister in-law was married in Mexico, was having the baby shower (she's having a girl) at a Mexican Restaurant, and again wanted to tie all this Mexican talk into a baby shower for a girl. Now when I think of baby girls, I think of pinks, plums even yellow. On the other hand, Mexico is more primary-red, green, blue....etc. So how do you mix the two....see the outcome!

Sweet pinata's with falling little candies and apoxy circles for texture!
