Inspiration Board: End of Summer, Beginning of Fall Figs

The figs are falling off of Elizabeth’s tree faster than she can take them off! This inspired today’s inspiration board as we’re gearing up for Fall here in California, but summer temperatures are still at a high. Passion-filled plum-colored peonies with a rustic barn feel, perfect if the temperatures decide to get colder, or even hotter.
This board was created on Style Me Pretty’s new site for brides & wedding aficionados, the Style Circle. I usually create my own, but wanted to try this service out so that we can give a shout out to how fantastic it is. Even a few of Sugarcube’s invitations have ended up in the graces…
We’re a member of the Style Circle…Sugarcube Press and we’re excited to announce we have been invited to join the Little Black Book from Style Me Pretty. We’ll be completing our paperwork in October. But, in the meantime, it’s never too early to start your invitations!


Simple & Sweet Letterpress Wedding: Crystal & Mark

Letterpressed Wedding Invitation

Recently a delicious wedding we worked on has been popping up in the blog-o-sphere. We spotted it on style me pretty, and thought we would share some stunning photos Crystal, the beautiful bride, has sent in. Her wedding at the Firestone Vineyard in Los Olivos, California was simply stunning. Crystal & Mark, high school sweethearts since ages 13 & 15, had the most intimate and sweet affair with 18 guests mostly traveling from out of town. As you can see, no detail was left unturned. The end of the day culminated with a candle-lit dinner in the Firestone Vineyard’s Barrel Room. A custom wine-pairing menu was both elegant and to-die-for (we all commented on wanting that menu at an anniversary dinner!).

Sugarcube Press provided all the sweet letterpressed paper treats, and the ever-so-talented José Villa, was the photographer.

Crystal & Mark wanted a hand-calligraphied feel, and we created the invitation from a script in our collection. The classic black licorice ink on white frosting 100% tree-free paper was off-set with our salt licorice envelopes. It was a combo that was both simple and classic that emanated beauty. We carried Crystal & Mark’s initials and names throughout the weekend event, appearing on letterpressed coasters, napkins, welcome bag tags, note cards (with a note from the couple), wine bottle favor tags, and of-course, the menu.

Crystal & Mark, we enjoyed being a part of your wedding planning…we wish you many sweet years of love & laughter. Thanks for sharing your day with us.
