i love the bookmark std… so cute (and usefull… i usually end up using receipts and gum wrappers)
Fun! I am in a contest.
Thanks everyone for your lovely comments!
aisle runner - we painted on it - it is a popular project on The Knot (which is where I stole… errr borrowed… the idea from).
WOW! everything is beautiful. how did you make those invitations? i love the parasol!!! and all the lovely designs.
omg. I LOVE it!!!
Laurie- Do you have a Knot bio? I would love to see more of your planning ideas and projects. Everything here looks fabulous!
Invites: Vic and I (well mostly Vic, he is a graphic designer) designed them using Adobe Photoshop and InDesign. I got the inspiration for the design from http://www.studioapril.com/ - I love their work. We sent them out for printing with a local printer. The envelopes and decorative paper came from Paper-Source (I heart them) and I also bought their envelope liner kit to make those.

Hello Laurie …
I just wanted to let you know how much I absolutely adored your entry with all your fabulous designs and cards! I was just about to ask HOW you printed all those cards but you just answered the questions. It’s exquisite.
Best wishes!
i LOVE the design of the envelope liner & belly band..soo detalied!..great job!
Love the belly bands.
Laurie, how did you design your wedding website? Did you use iWeb? I’ve been trying to design our wedding website, but have been struggling…and so have yet to send the STDs. BTW, I also love your guest book - much better than the usual ones for purchase!
B - thanks so much!
For the website we used an open-source template and just tweaked the design. We could have done one from scratch, but like you, we were kind of holding off sending the STD’s until we had a site up and running.
The site I used was http://www.oswd.org.
Good luck!
Laurie! Everything is so beautiful! Great ideas! I especially love your bouquet locket. I have been wanting to find a little frame lke that to make one for my mother’s pic, but I can’t find it anywhere. Would you mind sharing? TIA!
I love your invitations!!! Where did you get them printed!????
Jenny: thank you so much. I got the locket frame at Michael’s craft store.
MB: thanks! we put a lot of thought in to them.
we had them printed at a local shop: http://www.adamspressinc.com/
they did a great job, and my fi works with them fairly often. If you request a quote, please tell them that Victor & Laurie referred you (Victor who did their website). They will take care of you.
