Simple Design

Tis' the season {for bridal showers}

When my good friend Robin asked me to design her wedding invitations, I was honored. It is always fun when you can bring someones idea to life. So you can believe when her maid of honor asked me to design her bridal shower invitations I was even more thrilled! Robins colors are very unique, grass green, eggplant and rust orange. So for the bridal shower, they are incorporating all the colors into the theme of Italy (where they are honeymooning). There will also be LOTS of flowers. So with that in mind here is the invitation I came up with and should tie into the shower perfectly!

Shower Weekend

This weekend is my very good friend Michelle's bridal shower. I feel like just yesterday we were all in College, acting silly with no cares in the world. Now that we are all "grown ups" (I air quote this because we don't like to think we are quite yet!) we have all been taking the next step in our lives. Weddings, buying houses, and landing real jobs. While I digress on the subject of growing up, I should get to the point of this post. I was lucky enough to design the bridal shower invitation for Michelle. The location of their wedding is Saltwater Farm Vineyard in Stonington, CT. I thought that a great design would be based around the vineyard. You can see below what I came up with! Congrats Michelle!

Invitation Inspiration

When I look for inspiration, I look for a couple different things. Color, shapes, and detail, to name a few. I look for anything that could possibly be turned around and made into something design worthy. When designing an invitation, I love to look for inspiration on wedding blogs. Style Me Pretty, True Event and Life in the Superburbs are just a few that I look up to in looking for inspiration. They truly have the best ideas and real life weddings to get inspiration from. This story board of lovely invitations really gets my ideas flowing for new ideas!

Save the Date!

What is more fun than designing a vintage, love for type faces, navy, yellow and gray piece of stationary? Nothing really! I am so pleased to share this lovely save the date I designed for the fabulous Sara Bell. I cannot wait until I can share with you all, the entire invitation suite for her wedding!

Wedding Wednesday

Even though I have already planned and experienced "the BIG day" I still can't help but look at wedding blogs. One of my top wedding blogs that I run to almost everyday is Style Me Pretty. I always oooo and awww over all their story boards and all of the great details that go into every one of the weddings! They have this great new build a board where you can now build your very own story board! I am in desperate need of summer and this is just what I needed to day dream. While summer seems so far away, enjoy this summery wedding board.

It's fun to turn one!

This special little lady is turning one and her mom asked me to design her first birthday party invitation. This photo is just precious and she certainly is starting to look like a little lady! The photo was taken by the talented Melissa Brott seen here.

Grams & Co.

I get so excited when I get to help someone build their brand! I was approached by Megan who is the mastermind behind Grams & Co. If you are looking for something to keep you warm for the winter, she is the girl to run to. Whether it be hand knit mittens, headbands, hats, scarfs etc., you know where to go! Christmas is right around the corner, so if you know someone who loves anything warm and stylish, think of Grams & Co.
Go and "like" her on Facebook!

When designing her logo, it needed to be something colorful and fun, just like her!

Baby Sprinkle (shower) Invitation

A friend of mine is having a baby boy and we are having what we call a baby sprinkle for her. I made this cute invitation, fall inspired, for her shower in a few months.

Now Live!

klmcreativevt.com is now officially up and running! I am finally a part of the web community, after all that is where most people look these days! Thanks to GB Web Creations for developing my site!

VTuesday Shoesday

Even though it is Thursday, I thought I would do a shoe post because I missed Tuesday. Thursday is close enough, it start's with a T doesn't it! I am sort of obsessed with these Lily Puliter sandals with a sea turtle. They make me want to wear a white dress and visit Martha's Vineyard. I can only dream.

Wedding Video

My very talented brother made us an awesome wedding video matched together with our first dance song. Click HERE to watch! To see his other videos check out his VIMEO acount.

VTuesday Shoesday

Back on track for Tuesday Shoesday. Who doesn't like a good espadrille? I know I do! Well in all actuality, I like anything pretty that goes on my feet. Find these natural beauties at JCrew.

New Beginnings

I thought I would share what may be a new beginning for me as a designer. I figured if I want to jump on the band wagon with all of these great designers out there, I need myself a website! Here is just the beginning of what hopefully will become something great!

VTuesday Shoesday

It's a few days after the 4th, but these were too cute not to post for VTuesday Shoesday. Who doesn't like a little nautical American themed shoe!
I hope everyone had an amazing 4th and is staying cool through this heat wave!

Rising Stars

I am trying to get back into the blogging world after a few weeks of being off for wedding extravaganza (to be a later post when I get my pictures!) I currently work for a business magazine in Vermont and we have just started a new event called Rising Stars. It is an event to nominate a person who is on their way to being a great success in the Vermont area, 39 and younger. I had to come up with a logo for this new event and figured it would be worth sharing with all of you. To visit the VBM website and nominate click here.

VTuesday Shoesday

Where does the time go? I got engaged in 2008 and my wedding day is in 4 days. It felt like it would never come and now it came almost too fast. For today's Tuesday shoesday I obviously had to pick a wedding shoe to commemorate this special time for all the bride-to-bes out there. Here is a stunning shoe by Manolo Blahnik.

Acorn Alley

A friend of mine came to me the other day and wanted me to design a logo for his friend who owns a childcare facility. I of course jumped on this opportunity! The name is Acorn Alley Childcare. These are just a few of the designs that I designed for her. I can't wait to see which one she decides on!

e-session with Jon Adams

Last Saturday we had the privilege of getting our engagement pictures taken by our wedding photographer Jon Adams. Above are just a few of my favorites from the day. Check out more of his amazing work at www.jonadamsphoto.com

VTuesday Shoesday

Summer has finally arrived and I am in desperate need of an air conditioner right about now. To make me forget about how hot it is outside these t-strap Disco-fleur sandals from JCREW are just what I need on a hot summery day!

On the Road to Fame!

Today I opened my gmail account and got a very exciting email. I had submitted a design on crowdSPRING, which is a website where small businesses can upload a project for designers to compete against. The company then picks the design that best suits what they are looking for. A company named Invitation Consultants posted a project where they wanted a new wedding invitation to sell on their website. I thought this was the perfect opportunity to start the process of becoming a stationary designer! I uploaded my design and crossed my fingers, hoping they would pick my design. I guess crossing my fingers worked! This is the design that they chose and I couldn't be any happier!
