I’m happy to announce that I’ll be a part of Columbus Bride and Groom’s Wedding Experience. The Wedding Experience will be held on Sunday, November 8th 2015 from 12-4pm at The Crowne Plaza North. Come out and see all that local has to offer!

I will be giving away thank you cards and displaying all my favorite wedding invitation designs. I will be one of four very talented invitation designers at the event. You already know a lot about Paper Bag Invites, so I would love to give a shout out to the other talented crew.

The Paper Vow has an amazing Ohio Collection. I’m giddy about anything Ohio. This collection just makes me smile! The collection features laser cutting, letterpress and layering. All things I absolutely love. Check out their work by clicking here.

Avant-Garde Impressions has so many great options to choose from. This company is the real deal. They’ve been around for a while and offer a copious amount of options to suite any couple! They offer designs that are stylish and luxurious. Check out some of my favorites here.

Design With Heart Studio manages to put into words exactly what you want to say. They have a gorgeous line of cards that make me swoon every time I peruse their website. They are inspired by a simple but powerful premise: love is love. I literally took that last sentence right off their website. It’s too powerful not to share. Check out their work by clicking here.

Can’t wait to share this Sunday with such amazing talent. Paper Bag Invites looks forward to seeing you all there!

Knocking your head against the wall to figure out the perfect color scheme for your wedding or special event? I’m the type of person who likes to take risks, but still tends to be a bit traditional when it comes to color. One of the best color schemes for the traditional risk taker is neutrals mixed in with a pop of neon.

Neon…yikes! You may be telling yourself this, but hear me out. Neon can be played up or down in a color scheme. It is a great way to please the mother of the bride but still allows for a younger, brighter personality to come through.

A couple of years ago, I had the pleasure of designing with a neon color scheme. Check out Audrey and Erics wedding invitation by clicking here. The parents of the bride and groom were very traditional. They were also helping to pay for a big portion of the wedding. If that’s the case, you need to respect a little of what they say, but don’t lose yourself in the process. Find the happy medium.

For this particular couple, the happy medium was a traditional pattern on a gray paper with a pop of canary yellow. This was one of two proposed designs and I thought for sure that the mother of the bride was going to hate it. Boy was I ever wrong. The bride and mother of the bride were both happy. They each thought they had won the wedding color scheme battle.

It’s a hard process to come up with the perfect color scheme for your big day. It also happens to be one of my favorite parts. Give us a call or drop us an email and we’ll help you come up with your perfect wedding colors.
