Yes dear readers, it’s true. Your eyes are not playing tricks on you. These. Are. Cookies. Real, yummy, wedding perfect, orange vanilla spice cookies, with the most skillfully and intricately hand crafted decorations I think I’ve ever seen. Wow! Inspired by fabrics like damask and hounds tooth, delicate floral embroidery, classic monograms and Wedgwood dishes, Amber Spiegel of SweetAmbs is a true cookie artist, and fortunately for us she shares her passion for baking and decorating via her blog and her Etsy Shop. What a spectacular wedding, bridal shower or welcome gift bag favor these would make!
Fête, the dynamic New York City event planning and design production firm led by Jung Lee and Josh Brooks, and responsible for the gorgeous book Fête: The Wedding Experience, has recently relaunched their website and it is a sight to see! Filled to the brim with inspiration and eye candy of the most opulent and over-the-top events, you could really get lost oohing and ahhing for hours. Jung and her team design weddings that seem bigger than life, but are thoughtfully produced down to the smallest detail. As you click through her design portfolio, events gallery and blog, pay special attention to the tablescapes and dining arrangements- I love the way most of their receptions are centered around dining beautifully!
To get you started, here are two weddings at opposite ends of the design spectrum that both have that signature Fête feel. A sophisticated and elegant Southern rehearsal dinner, ceremony and reception in black, white, lemon yellow and green…
And a theatrical bohemian glam wedding, downtown New York City, filled with rich jewel tones and candle light…
A couple of our favorite wedding invitation designers are offering some lovely specials to their brides-to-be, so we had to pass along these great deals!
In honor of being named by their peers as Best Invitation Designers in the recent issue of Seattle Bride magazine, (congrats guys!) Whitney and Jonathan of Brown Sugar Design are offering 100 complimentary letterpress Thank You flats with any wedding invitation order over $1000, from now through October 1, 2009. Visit their blog for more information, and don’t forget to mention best of bride when ordering. (And speaking of Brown Sugar Design, stay tuned for more about them in the coming weeks- they are in the process of designing beautiful custom thank you notes for us at Junebug and we’ll be sharing the results once they’re finished!)
Bella Figura is having a sale on their wedding invitation samples from now until August 31, 2009, and donating all proceeds to American Forests, who plants trees to protect, restore and enhance our forests. Bella Figura’s letterpress designs are drop-dead gorgeous, and oh-so thick and luxurious, which they somehow manage to do while remaining an extremely eco-friendly company. Very impressive! Visit their website to browse their invitation galleries, and see a few of the designs we love in their Trendsetter Favorites gallery as well.
