At the House of Papier we LOVE being creative when it comes to custom creations. This invite is unique in two ways: (1) It’s a bridesmaid invitation from the bride (Will you be my Bridesmaid?) and (2), this gorgeous invitation was inspired by the bride’s beautiful sapphire engagement ring. What a great way to ask someone to be in your wedding!

Happy Planning!

House of Papier’s Über-Fabulous couple, David and Mari recently tied the knot at the Ritz-Carlton, Laguna Niquel in Dana Point, CA. Here are some pictures of the purple silk folio invitations and table numbers we created for them – and of course, pictures of the beautiful bride and groom!

Best Wishes to Mari & David,

Our next Über-Fabulous couple are Dave and Mari. The two met online at Match.com and had their first date two years ago. They quickly fell in love and were engaged in July 2009. The couple’s wedding colors are purple with a hint of silver and ivory. Mari had a general idea of what she was looking for and I worked closely with her to design her dream wedding invitations. The 3-layer invites come in a 5×7 ”Vegas” purple silk folio and include a matching response card and wedding information insert:

The couple will be wed in October at the Ritz-Carlton in Dana Point California and honeymooning at the St. Regis in Bora Bora in an overwater bungalow.

Working with on this project was so much fun! Here’s what Mari had to say about working with House of Papier:

After meeting and speaking with many invitation consultants, I ultimately selected the House of Papier because of their creativity, integrity, and gorgeous high-quality invitations.  I was impressed by the breadth of the invitation styles and designs in the House of Papier’s portfolio.  I knew that Missy and her team must truly be talented to be able to create so many unique, classy, and gorgeous invitations.

The House of Papier was extremely easy to work with.  I didn’t have a very clear vision for what I wanted with my invitations, but Missy was able to develop a beautiful design for our invitations with the little guidance I provided based on my likes and dislikes. Additionally, Missy was very responsive and was in continuous communication with me throughout the process.  She was also very patient with me even when I changed my mind multiple times.  Although planning a wedding is a very stressful time, Missy’s patience, integrity, and reliability made the invitation process stress-free!

My invitations turned out better than I ever could have imagined.  My guests loved the invitations and I continue to hear feedback that these invitations are one of the most gorgeous and unique invitations that they have ever received.  I highly recommend The House of Papier and will definitely use them again in the future.  Thank you, Missy!

I wish Dave and Mari all the best.

xoxo,

I’m so ready for Summer to be over! Fall is my favorite time of the year and I’m so over the heat and humidity, especially after just coming back from Los Angeles where the weather is God-sent. This Summer has been kind of crazy and I’ve been traveling in and out of town since June. So I’m looking forward to the change of seasons and the next page in the history of House of Papier. We have a lot of projects we’re working on and more coming down the pike. I’m really excited about sharing some of the new things we have going on and the new invitation designs we’re creating. The invitation presses are in full swing and here are just a few projects:

XOXO,

With the end of the year dawning, it seems as if there is no slowing down for House of Papier. I’d like to share with you our latest custom design for a Sorority reunion. This invitation was designed in a 5×7 silk folio adorned with a salmon pink double-sided satin bow. The 2-layer invite is embellished with three Swarovski rhinestones.

As promised, here is the Thank You silk folio I created for a recent client. Thanking your guests for attending your wedding and for the gifts they gave is an essential to-do for all couples. Thank You’s should be sent out about two weeks after you return from your honeymoon. When you order your coordinated stationery set from House of Papier you will receive your Thank You folios before the wedding, so there is no excuse for being late! You can also take advantage of our concierge service and we’ll mail them for you.

When in Rome…do as the Romans – or in this case, send House of Papier wedding announcements. I’d like to share the finshed product from our lastest Über-Fabulous couple Terry & Dara Overstreet who recently wed in Rome, Italy:

I’m currently working on a new project for a wedding client in Atlanta. This three-layered invite includes a custom monogram provided by the bride and groom in a 6x6x1 fuschia silk box. The lid is adorned with a black button with a silver glitter strip. Under the lid is a pouch for the response card, return envelope, and registry insert.

I’ve been working on a couple of new invitation designs, one of which includes a Winter Wonderland theme for a major Bridal Magazine. While I am not reveling the contents, I will share the outside of the silk box:

Animal prints aren’t just for Roberto Cavalli. At the House of Papier, fashion ends up on invitations. The Fuschia Zebra is a must have for the ultra fashionista and comes in a Fuschia 6x6x1 removeable lid silk invitation box. Careful….it might bite!
