The holidays are over, and many of you have wonderful news to share. Christmas, and especially New Years are the most popular time for popping the big question! So now what? Well, once you and your beau have set a wedding date it’s time to get your Save the Date announcements out.  Save the Date’s are a great way to inform your friends and family of your wedding plans before sending the formal invitations. House of Papier is offering a New Years special of 10% off all Save the Date announcements and Wedding Invitations through the month of January. Contact us today at info@houseofpapier.com to place your order. Do you have a beautiful engagement story? Share it with us and receive an additional 10% off your stationery order.

Happy Planning!

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.

I’m currently working on a new project for a wedding client and thought I’d share the new twist on a design favorite. The Swarovski Crystal invitation is one of House of Papier’s most popular invites, as well as our signature piece. The original was created in ivory and royal blue, but these fuchsia elements add flare to an old favorite.

Inspiration No° 2: Oversized Self Belt with Swarovski Buckle

Kati Stern, who is known for mixing fur with the finest fabrics, is the fashion designer behind Venexiana. I had the opportunity and privilege to attend her show at the Mercedes Benz New York Fashion Week in Bryant Park. The new Fall 2009 collection boasted sixty-six new looks, all of which were breathtaking and elegant. I’ve never really been a lover of fur, but Stern’s designs could easily entice me to have a change of heart. My inspiration No°2 are the oversized self belts with Swarovski buckles seen in the photographs above. While House of Papier regularly incorporates Swarovski crystal and buckles in our invitation designs, these two Venexiana pieces gave me great inspiration for a new way to adorn both invitation inserts and the silk box that holds them.
