Announcments & Invites

Since I'm a bride on a budget I might just design my wedding announcements and invites on my own, but if I don't I might just go with these design & print shops that I adore. I'm such a control freak when it comes to designing and I am always changing my mind. I just have to keep in my mind to keep the ideas simple, effortlessly romantic, and one of a kind.

Mama Sauce is a letterpress design & printing company based out Orland, FL. I've read their blog on and off for the past 3 years. I found out about them by coming across a little (not so little) blog called Rifle Design.

Rifle Design is a husband and wife shop where wife, Anna, hand draws the best designs ever. They are located in Winter Park, FL. This is great because if we decide to get married in Florida then it will be great to have all these local vendors.

Printable Press  is based out of New York. It's a husband and wife team. Love that! They have such beautiful work. The designs are simple and classy. This one might not be my top, but it's a contender.

New Blog!

 This is not my first time blogging this is just my first time blogging on this blog. Cheers to me! I'm still working on the layout of the blog so don't mind me if you see a few changes here and there. I'll just use this first post to basically welcome anyone and everyone with a Hello! Typically people write their first blog about what their blog site will be about, so let me not deviate away from tradition. I'm 25 years old and just recently got engaged, like 2 days ago engaged. I haven't told my parents yet, although they already know (you'll see why in "our story"). So, with respect to my parents lets not blab about it to loud. Even though it's a bit hard for me since I'm super pumped about planning my own wedding. So, yea this is why I built this blog, to share my adventures of a DIY wedding, my life, his life, Rockies life, you get the picture. Don't be shy to throw a couple or a lot of ideas my way. There might be two ceremonies with one of them being a destination wedding. I don't know. I have some some time to work it all out, good thing.
