“HAY, thanks!” to Barbara Kua Calligraphy for featuring my Bespoke Stationery designs on her blog yesterday.

Barbara has a lovely hand – you may want to consider her calligraphy work when it comes time to address your invites! Barbara Kua is based near Toronto … but don’t let that stop you. Thanks to Fed Ex and the internet she can work with you wherever you live!

Maggie and Trevor’s wedding invitations went off in the post last Friday. I should be getting my samples in the mail today. I can’t wait to hold these letter press lovelies in my very own hands! I will certainly snap photos and post them this week but gut says that Maggie may beat me to it and post them at Eat Drink Marry first! It’s a very busy week over here at Bespoke Stationery. I have three June Brides that need serious invitation attention *it’s time to get finalized on designs and think about going to print soon* and TWO brand new baby announcements to design. Hooray!!!

On the personal side of things, I have an apartment to organize before our B I G move. We will attempt this move in two stages. On April 15th we will commence with stage one of our move to the Cipriani Residences. We’re moving just clothing and minimal essential items. I am super duper excited to get to spend the next two months in such uber-luxurious surroundings! The apartments are all designed by Tsao & McKOWN (GORGEOUS!) The building offers full access to the Cipriani Club and hotel-concierge service. (THRILLED!!) This should be a cushy way to spend a few months and ease the pain of being separated from all my lovely collections!

After the 15th and before the 23rd everything else needs to be carefully packed. *I have been collecting breakables since I was 12 years old and have more china than most 78 year old women!* Everything is going to be sent to storage. This is going to be the hardest part of moving for me. Once we figure out what we are doing and where in the world we are going we’ll move everything to our new permanent spot. Until then …. cookbooks, collections and all the things that inspire me will be packed away. Boo!

… H E R E we go … let the fun begin …

Hailey and Evan’s Bespoke Wedding Stationery Wardrobe is Hot off the presses! This suite is a combination of offset printing and blind letterpress for a simply stunning, graphic and divine set of wedding invitations. We kept the look consistent by utilizing a flower design in several different ways throughout the suite. We carried the look from the wedding invitation mailing through the wedding ceremony and continued the feel with a set of personal stationery notes that they will use for thank-you’s after the wedding is over.

As you all well know, I have a love for black. In my opinion, it makes most everything look more fabulous! Accent colors pop. It is incredibly rich. It was a lot of fun for me to design this stationery set because Hailey and Evan were open to being non-traditional and a little edgy with regards to their wedding stationery. Their open minds made the end result on this suite all the better!!! YAY.
