Country/Folk Style Wedding Invitation

So this is a sweet follow up to a recent post. Couple weeks back I posted a drawing I completed. This artwork has now evolved into a blossoming invitation. With the help of my sister, this design will be called "Country Beauties". This design was inspired by a folk, country style theme. I love it for so many reasons. It's colorful therefore it will match a variety of wedding color themes. It's super joyful, it will surely without a doubt place a SMILE on your guests names! And it's completely versatile, it can be used for many special occasions besides weddings! 


So, if you're into having one Southern style wedding, then send this invitation to your guests to set the right mood. Y'all got that ;) !? 

H1N1 Victims: Healthy to Death's Door in One Week - ABC News

H1N1 Victims: Healthy to Death's Door in One Week - ABC News

I know this blog post has nothing to do with flowers or weddings, but I think it's of tremendous importance. Yesterday Nightline featured a story from University Hospitals Case Medical Center describing the toll this virus can take on literally anyone. FYI this hospital is my place of employment! Dr. Blitz is truly a hero and extremely brave for taking on these difficult cases!

I have always been somewhat suspicious of getting vaccines, especially ones which are new on the market. But after seeing this story on Nightline, I am rethinking my decision not to get the H1N1 Vaccine. Many people are sick, have been sick or will be sick with the H1N1 virus. Some will only feel the typical flu symptoms yet some will be affected far more and will need to be hospitilized! Although you may feel fine, your loved one may have a far worse outcome. One way to stop this effect is to get the vaccination.

Watch the video. Educate your loved ones! Vaccinate!

Love,

Agnes, RN

Blossom Accents: A new design in progress!

One of my more recent art projects were these charming colorful blossoms! I particularly enjoy the accents of colors surrounding the florals as an outline. And I love the trail of dots in the most unexpected places. It has a country & folk feel, thus the title will be "Country Beauties".

I can't wait to see how this design will develop into I imagine, a very fun and exciting invitation! Stay tuned to see the progress in my studio Blossom Accents! Cheers!

Retro, Hippie Style Table Cards and Place Cards

Recently I completed this colorful and fantastic order. A set of table cards and place cards in a funky, cheerful and a retro style. I think it's really FUN and appropriate for any kind of party celebration! This order was actually for a Bar Mitzvah celebration! Hope the joyful design sets a joyous mood!

Dogwood Invitation Design Collage

Recently I finished making this for Julie from Canada and I am still in awe about this design! I have to admit I would have never thought of this design by myself partly because I love bold and rich colors. The colors here are chosen by the bride. Light tones with some dramatic brown accents and a very intriguing envelope liner. This is why I love to work with clients on a personal basis, they lead me to new paths, ideas and unique projects! Thanks Julie!

Royal Blue and Yellow Wedding Inspiration

Royal blue and yellow colors as a theme for a wedding party seems like a fabulous color combination! So I gathered some images to put together a little board of the lovely possibilities. I especially love the bouquet of sunflowers with blue blossom accents and a gorgeous light yellow bridesmaids dress... it seems so light and feminine. Add some lemon zest to a dessert table as a centerpiece or simply as a snack full of Vitamin C! Enjoy!

Fall, Pumpkins, Thanksgiving...

Finally after being in denial and not wanting to say goodbye to summer (mind you I feel like it never really came here in Ohio) I was able to find some beauty during a warm fall sunny day at a local foods market. I always appreciate a local market! These merchants strive to provide their customers with healthy, fresh and seasonal fruits and veggies that grocery stores really can not compete with! This market even does more... it was full of seasonal decor, colors of fall and fall spirit! Enjoy!
