First of all, so sorry for the late post-the server is having issues today-hopefully the issue is resolved. Today is all about pattern, creativity and simplicity. Stephanie Waddell, founder of Agnes and Hoss took our Forest escort card and created three directions to show her perspective. Stephanie is a true talent with pattern design, and renders original drawings from inspiration from the world around her. She has her patterns printed on silk charmeuse, then creates handbags, accessories and items for the home. I am definitely honored that such an amazing lifestyle designer has collaborated with me on this project. Thanks, Stephanie! You can purchase her amazing pillows, handbags, scarves, and more here. Stephanie on pattern: I think it's interesting to mix patterns and motifs, especially when they are in similar color families, to create an overall nature angle.
On Simplicity: A place setting can be really simple, elegant and modern, like this card and antler.
Calligraphy by Sara Elizabeth of Calligraphy of Oakbrook On Creativity: you can get creative for an outdoor event by displaying the cards / envelopes in unusual ways like these nestled in some vines along a fence.
