Some days ago I had a discussion with H about change. For a while we´ve been thinking about moving to a new home, so let´s put it this way, the word “change” has popped up very often in our talks nowadays. As much as we love our tiny apartment, working and living in such a small space is becoming more and more challenging. At one point he told me “…yea, in some stuff you REALLY don´t like changes!”. For a moment his words felt quite startling. Hah…you think so?! “…are you kidding?” – he asked back. It got me thinking. He is right, in some things I don´t like it, however… Keep Reading
Delivery day
Handing over the final prints of invitation suites to my clients feels a little bit like giving gifts during Christmas time. I like preparing the package nicely, pack the cards in little piles, wrap them in tissue papers. Why not simply putting everything in a cardboard box? Because of “that moment”. I know that for many couples, receiving their wedding invitations is a special, “things are getting real” -kind of a moment. Cards are ready to be sent, envelopes are ready to be addressed, names are written next to each other telling that the couple is getting married. Unwrapping is part of the experience and I think it´s more fun and… Keep Reading
Where love is…
Image: Rita Miklán Photography One of the things I really love about my job is to be part of amazing styled projects. There is a certain positive vibe in the air, when creative people work together and share their passion and love for beautiful weddings. When everyone gives their 100%, it isn´t just about image making. It is storytelling, something that you can relate to. I know, I start sounding like such a cliche for getting excited about every little detail, but what can I do? 🙂 I´m an addict to pretty things, a fan of everything natural and a hopeless visual enthusiast. Today I wanted to show you the… Keep Reading
Creative ideas for table settings
Image: Style Me Pretty One of the best part of wedding decoration is the table setting. I love every bit of it, the cutlery, the tablecloth, the candles and the gorgeous flowers. It´s like all the creative work you invested into the wedding planning is right there at one place. In this post I collected some of my favourite ideas for table settings. Name tags / seating cards Playing around with place card ideas is fun and it can be a great DIY-project. Writing the names of your guests one by one might take a little bit longer time, but it definitely gives a personal touch for the set-up. If… Keep Reading
Advantages of a wedding website
Today I take a little break from papers and talk about a solution that can complement printed material for your wedding. It´s wedding websites. Even though, I´m now endorsing something that is a cost-saving substitution of what I do for a living, I believe that these websites are so helpful, that it would be silly to ignore them. I can start with my own experience. When H & I started organising our own destination wedding, we quickly had to face reality: it´s an immense work to put every detail together. We wanted to keep things simple, yet the more we talked about the wedding, the longer the “things to consider”-list… Keep Reading

“Organic “- inspiration (Pictures: Alexandra Grecco Bridal, Style Me Pretty, Pinterest, Oncewed, Pinterest, Style Me Pretty, Stephanie Fishwick) Finding inspiration is maybe the most challenging part of designing your invites. Wedding blogs, magazines and Pinterest are for sure very helpful. On the other hand, the more you check, the more you like and the more you like, the harder the choice is. 😉 So, as my second post in the “wedding papers”-topic, I collected some tips for you about inspiration, ideas and themes. Hopefully they help you kick-off the project. The theme of the wedding Probably you are in the easiest position if you already have a wedding theme in mind…. Keep Reading
