Things I can’t wait to see in action this weekend! Tables named after the settings of classic novels and printed on pages torn out of an old novel.

These placecards from our Antigua Suite of Lucky Orchid invitations make a great statement at any reception. Hand-lettered in copperplate script, they suggest a subtle but classic theme for your event. Stay tuned for the matching programs!

Here’s the story: I put on Made of Honor, started making my seating cards, and by the time the main character was meeting with her pastor for the first time, I was done with them! Now I realize for those of you who haven’t seen it yet, that means nothing.

Many people ask me what the hardest part of planning a destination wedding is. They guess it is choosing venues, restaurants or table linens. The fact is, the hardest part about planning a destination wedding is figuring out how to get everything to the destination! Every planning and decor decision makes me think about how we will get the item to the other side of the country.
