Wedding Program & Wedding Set Designs

Hello everyone! Thank you for your patience as I had to have a few photographs taken of my designs. In my photo slideshow are a few samples of work that I’ve designed.

The gold programs were made for my sister's wedding at Oheka Castle back in June 2009. GORGEOUS place!

For more samples of my work, check out my… Continue

Some housekeeping rules

For some reason, my blog posting has been down, so in defense of the cyber system, let's hope I am back on track with today's posting!

Here are some housekeeping items that brides will want to take note of:

1. Make sure that all vendors are paid in full prior to your wedding date. We don't like having to hound you on the day of your wedding or calling you after the fact. We really dislike the money issue.

2. Make sure that you bring something to take your left… Continue

Using Solid Colors in Design with Letterpress

You all know I am a fan of color. With almost any design, a variety of color will most likely enhance the overall product. Recently people have been asking me if it is possible to use solid colors with letterpress. This is an interesting question that does not have one simple answer.

Yes, obviously we can use a solid color in a letterpress design.

FAMOUS COUPLE FINALLY GET ENGAGED!

Didn’t we always think Archie would pick Betty?

Any Archie comic fans out there? We all used to read these when we were younger — and Archie and the gang were just kids, too — but we’ve all grown up, and it looks like Archie is ready to take the plunge.

Could it be true? Will Archie finally put one of Hollywood’s… Continue

The Best Wedding Favor Ever

I, Bob Postal, claim to manufacture "the best wedding favor ever" in the form of my Martha Stewart Show recommended, Vivowhite Teeth Whitening Pen To Go.The favor, which consists of a Vivowhite Pen To Go, along with an instruction card, and a framable picture of the Bride and Groom, is held together with curling ribbon in the bride’s coordinated colors.

dressing your celebrant

taken from www.wedbykez.com

the wedding crasher (post wedding depression)

Nowhere near as fun as Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughan crashing your reception is a nasty case of Post-Wedding Depression that can affect brides after their big day.

There are numerous reasons why a bride or groom might fall crash after their big day.

The Wedding Dump

As I have affectionately named it due to its similarity to the post-superman ride at Movie World feeling. Just like a scary rollercoaster the months and days leading up to your wedding are all go,… Continue

Congratulations to Amy & Cory!

Just wanted to take a minute and congratulate a great couple we worked with yesterday. The wedding was held at St. Bartholomew church and the reception was held at St. Paul Hellenic Center.

You are Cordially Invited to "A WEDDING in a BOX".....

Article from The Downingtown Daily Local Paper (8/8/09)

You could say that five designing women were thinking outside the box when they came up with the idea of packaging their talents inside a box.

Specifically, "A Wedding in a Box."

The friends' services and products — custom jewelry, honeymoon planning, photography, makeup consulting and yoga/massage — don't literally come packed in a box, of course.

But for the time and frustration the one-stop… Continue

How Are New Colors Picked? Pantone Color Forecast for 2010

As I was recently surfing around the webosphere, I stumbled upon this really fascinating video clip on youtube. While I understand that most of you probably are not interested enough to sit through 10 minutes of discussion about colors, I found the clip to be very illuminating (in more ways than one).

You will certainly learn something new about commercial colors, how they are ‘created’ and what influences their design.
