Everything she does is amazing! Her lettering skills and illustrations are picture perfect. I would definitely LOVE to have her mad skills when I grow up. She recently got married and her wedding was featured on <a href="http://www.100layercake.com/blog/2013/01/28/jessica-hische-and-russ-maschmeyer-brooklyn-wedding-reception/" target="_blank">100 Layer Cake</a> and it's no surprise that all the design elements were pure perfection! You can check it all out on the <a href="http://jessandruss.us/" target="_blank">wedding website</a> Jessica and her beau created but here are a few of the snippets that I adore...<br />

Okay..so it's not exactly a font but I just had to share this amazing laser cut letter! It's so intricate and beautiful! Don't you think it would make a great decoration for the back of the Bride and Groom's chairs at the reception?? And it's yet another thing you can take from your wedding and use as decor in your house. Simple place each letter in a frame with a dark background or no background for a sleeker look and hang on your wall. No cheesy wedding memorabilia here! Check with your local graphic designers or your wedding stationer and see if he/she can design a couple laser cut letters for you. You can also design your own and do a quick online search for printers that offer laser cutting. <br />
<br />
Have a safe, happy, and warm weekend! Snuggle up on the couch with some hot cocoa and your loved one if you are one of the "lucky" ones in the middle of this cold spell!<br />

Ok, you spent all this money on gorgeous invitations for your big day so why not preserve a little piece of them to remember your wedding! If the <a href="http://katespaperwedding.blogspot.com/2013/01/paper-made-it-pretty-personal-touches.html" target="_blank">life sized invite</a> doesn't float your boat (which I can't believe!) and the <a href="http://katespaperwedding.blogspot.com/2012/07/quilt-your-way-to-paper-memories.html" target="_blank">paper quilt</a> is a little too old fashioned...how about an anniversary wine box engraved with your wedding invite?? <a href="http://wineforawedding.com/" target="_blank">Wine for a Wedding</a> will create a gorgeous wine box that includes three wines in separate compartments that will be perfectly aged by your fifth, tenth, and fifteenth wedding anniversaries. You can even include a message on the inside of each compartment to read when you open it on your anniversary! For a wine-o like myself, this is the PERFECT way to "recycle" your wedding invitation into something amazing that will last for fifteen years! That is if you can wait that long to drink each bottle:)<br />

This is a bummer because it's such a great way to add one more personal touch to your wedding that will leave your guests with a great lasting impression. IF you have left your favor planning to the last minute, here is a super simple, super cute idea. Just head down to your local office store, grab some paper CD sleeves, bake some delicious cookies, sample a few of the cookies to make sure they are yummy enough, and put the rest in the CD sleeves. Print up a cute little label and there you have it. Easy as pie..or cookies in this case:)<br />

And the 2013 Pantone Color of the Year goes to........EMERALD!! I have to say Pantone did a fabulous job with this choice! Emerald is a gorgeous jewel tone color that lends so much life to everything. It's so vibrant and elegant all at the same time. Color of the year or not, you are sure to have an amazing wedding if you incorporate a little emerald. Here are a few ways to do just that...with paper of course!<br />

The things these people can create with pen and paper are simply stunning! Take this hand lettered invitation designed by artist and groom <a href="http://yourjustlucky.com/" target="_blank">Drew Melton</a>. Can you imagine having a fiance with this kind of talent!? The couple was inspired by the vintage elements of old newspapers and posters and designed the suite to have a timeless feel. I'm pretty sure I would frame this invite if I got it in the mail! And it's definitely one that would be AMAZING to enlarge and display as decor on the wedding day <a href="http://katespaperwedding.blogspot.com/2013/01/paper-made-it-pretty-personal-touches.html" target="_blank">like this couple.</a><br />

Chalkboard details are everywhere these days and I can see why! There's just something very personal about the hand lettering that makes them perfect for weddings. It's also the hand lettering that makes them a little tricky to create on your own...unless your lucky enough to know a fab artist or you can afford to hire one. Have no fear! You can still incorporate this trend with a few great fonts and a little printing magic. Try using some of these chalkboard inspired fonts on a black background and there you have it! Put the paper in a pretty antique frame and you have your very own fancy shmancy hand lettered chalkboard. Just remember, desktop printers don't have white ink so it will just print the black background which means ALOT of ink. Try calling some commercial printers to see if any of them can print white ink. It might take you a little extra time but it will save you tons of ink.<br />

I can't get enough of this gorgeous DIY wedding that was featured on <a href="http://ruffledblog.com/handcrafted-dallas-wedding/" target="_blank">Ruffled</a> a bit ago. Photographed by <a href="http://ninephotography.com/" target="_blank">Nine Photography</a>, this wedding is FULL of great personal touches...most of which are made with paper:) I am especially crushing on the life sized invitation the couple had made to display on the wedding day. What a fun welcome! AND a great piece of decor for your new home as a couple. Just make sure you have decor worthy invitations for you big day! Details do matter! Here are some of my favorite pics from the wedding...<br />

Well, another year has come and gone and boy has it been fun! Our little girl turned one and we welcomed our son and I could not be more grateful for the wonderful little family we have become! I admit that my other little baby..the biz, has taken a back seat to spending time with my kiddos but I'm slowly learning how to juggle it all. 2013 is going to be another great year and I have alot of big plans for the blog and the business. Probably bigger than they should be but hey...a girl can dream right? :) Here's to a brand New Year! Go out and make it awesome!!<br />

Some pictures from the surprise wedding of Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively have finally been released and all I can say is WOW! It was worth the wait! Talk about the perfectly charming southern soiree! Of course with <a href="http://www.marthastewartweddings.com/" target="_blank">Martha Stewart</a> as your wedding planner, how could you go wrong?? Now I know that this wedding was a surprise so wedding invites probably took a back seat in the planning process BUT if I had to create invites and maybe some gorgeous little labels for that to-die-for dessert table I definitely would have used an uber romantic handwritten font like <a href="http://www.myfonts.com/fonts/tart-workshop/madelinette/" target="_blank">Madelinette</a>! It's just the right amount of swirl to add a hint of glam to this casual southern affair.<br />

How many of you remember making paper snowflakes when you were little?? Well, it's time to bust out those grade school craft skills and make some beautiful decor for your winter wedding! Paper snowflakes are SUPER SIMPLE to make and can be used in so many creative ways to add some winter splendor to your day. String a bunch of snowflakes small to large on fishing line and hang them vertically for an amazing backdrop or simply scatter the flakes down the center of each table for an easy elegant table runner. And don't get stuck on white! Try using colored paper (maybe avoid yellow..hehe) or even some of the patterned paper you created from <a href="http://katespaperwedding.blogspot.com/2012/12/make-your-own-patterned-paper.html" target="_blank">last week's post</a> for a modern twist. OR grab a can of glitter spray and bring on the glamour! Remember....even the simplest of things can look like a high-end design element when you increase the size or number. A couple strands of paper snowflakes...pretty. One hundred strands of snowflakes...stunning!<br />

There are a ton of gorgeous options out there just waiting for you to buy but they aren't always affordable and finding enough of the same pattern can sometimes be a challenge. So..why not make your own? Pick up a roll of plain paper in any color and buy a patterned paint roller and go to town! Try different color combinations and even multiple rollers on the same paper to create your very own customized paper. Use your newly minted paper to line your invitation envelopes, create ceremony programs, make table runners, and wrap up your guest favors. <br />
<br />
Get started with one of these fun rollers...<br />

Monday was all about monograms and today I'm sharing a great little DIY decor idea that is an absolutely adorable way to use your newly designed wedding monogram. These <a href="http://www.etsy.com/blog/en/2012/how-tuesday-paper-leaf-topiary/" target="_blank">paper leaf topiaries</a> created by Brittany Watson Jepsen are super simple to assemble and can easily be adapted for lots of different wedding themes. Add some color to the leaves for a fall wedding or stick to deep green and add red berries to bring a little winter to the mix. <br />
<br />
Don't forget to check out <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/HouseThatLarsBuilt" target="_blank">Brittany's Etsy shop</a> for some fun paper flower accessories and decor.<br />
