Marleine at Paper Olive was super accomodating and so kind. I loved her designs, and her flexibility with our needs (color scheme, wording, schedule) was really helpful. She's great to work with and went above and beyond to get us what we wanted, on time and on budget. Thanks Paper Olive!

When my husband and I were searching for invitation vendors, we found a lot of websites that had nice product, but nothing that screamed "us." Since our wedding was very non-traditional, we needed to find someone who could really capture our personalities. It was important for us to set a tone for the event up front since the invites are the first thing people will see.

FInding PaperOlive and working with Marliene was a Godsend. The most important aspect to her was exactly what were were looking for. What is great about Marliene is that she really caters to your ideas. She was extremely creative and looked at invitations from a very unique perspective.

She created the most impressive Save-The-Date postcards with a sketch of our favorite picture together on one side and a mini-envelope with a post-it reminder on the other. I can't tell you how many calls and emails we received from people who flipped out. Since our wedding was a destination wedding in wine country, our invitations were photo-books with pictures of us as well as our location and all the details of the wedding weekend, which ultimately acted as an itinerary that people kept with them the entire weekend and have since saved as a momento from the occasion.

I can't say enough great things about her as a person and as a creative wonder. When you are planning something as special as a wedding, you want good people around you and she is the best. She truly cares about you and your vision and relentlessly strives to give you what you hope for. Thanks again Marliene!

People absolutely looooved the Save the Dates. They're still calling. My uncle lives in Ireland, and he's really particular. He actually called from Ireland to say just how impressed he was. Thank you so much!

I think we knocked people's socks off just by having our own custom card designed, since so many people just buy holiday cards out of the box. The custom job really made the difference with our clients.....and they thought the apple was absolutely adorable. Just a fun, clever way to be professional and whimsical at the holidays. You hit it out of the park.

i mean, where else can you mingle with hollywood history while sitting beside such an iconic backdrop as the paramount studio gates?


and speaking of iconic, what better way to complement your event than with our hollywood save the date? it's fresh, irreverent, and totally fun. after all, if you're going hollywood, you might as well go all the way.

proposal season is upon us, and wedding channel is ushering in the happiness by launching a playful new facebook application: 10 reasons to marry me!

to make it even more fun, spaweek is sponsoring the application, so two random winners will be selected to win a $300 spa package for two. you can check out the new app and the details here.

real weddings • allison and kevin • cape may seaside fete

other than my own wedding, one of my favorite events has to be my sister's wedding 3 years ago. fabulous modern color mixed with sophisticated antique accents made her wedding truly original in every way — it is still a model for my own personal wedding style.

probably my favorite thing? the incredibly unique juxtaposition of a hot pink and black color scheme against a beachy blue backdrop, and a reception hall with tiffany blue and silver walls. it was beach-meets-old-hollywood-glamour, and it totally worked.

allison's venue, the congress hall inn in cape may, new jersey, did a fabulous job with the special touches, like accommodating a special menu of mini-philly cheesestakes for the groom, and an out-of-this-world sugar seashell wedding cake for the bride.

with all the attention to detail, allison was fortunate to have bella pictures on hand to capture all of the gorgeous scenery — especially since they turned into a stunning custom photo album as part of their package. i just have to crack it open every time i see it on her coffee table.

oh, yes...and it doesn't hurt that my sister and her husband are both gorgeous! of course, the lazaro couture wedding gown did put everything over the top, and i absolutely loved it.

i gotta tell you, girls, sometimes the dream dress is just worth the splurge, don't you think?

laura hooper calligraphy

as a designer, i gravitate towards artists who have truly transcended their craft and elevated it beyond the ordinary. one such artisan is laura hooper, who has mastered the traditional art of calligraphy and enlivened it with a fresh, contemporary flair.

elegance script

not only is her work beautiful, it looks just as good on classic cream letterpress as it does on uber-modern black linen. she's the first calligrapher we look to whenever a bride inquires about using this incomparable addressing method.

rosencamden

it's no surprise to learn that laura has been featured by multiple icons like instyle weddings, the knot magazine, ceremony magazine, town & country weddings and bride & bloom — to name just a few. her vast array of styles and expertise is almost hard to believe.

spencerian

no matter the color palette, paper style or design aesthetic, laura has a calligraphy solution to match. and she's a doll to boot. how can you not love her?
