Orchid Wedding Invitations

These pink orchids are a classic piece here at Blossom Accents! They're bright and bold, romantic and beautiful. They are highly customizable- can be matched with a variety of paper shades and the blossoms still pop and add a striking touch to the invitation suite. Details here.

Gerber Daisy Invitations

Another project from the summer-Gerber Daisy Invitations in a silver, green and pink color combination.
The daises look great with a variety of colors, but this one really enhances the pink color and makes it pop! Also in the photos you will see matching table cards and place cards.

Flower Power Wedding Invitations- Fun & Bold

It's a rainy day here in Ohio today, so I wanted to post something cheerful and colorful! I came across these invitations I did for AJ and Craig from England this past summer. AJ wanted something really casual yet really bold in design and color. The first set of invitations were for both ceremony and reception-a little more sparkly and elaborate. The second set of invites were only additional guest invited to the reception only. This style was less decorated but still very fun! Enjoy!

Just imagine the thoughts these guest had when they received the invitations!? That was one heck of a party as AJ afterwards mentioned!

Meet a Blossom Accents Bride! Justyna and Dave Part Three

Almost three months went by from Justyna and Dave's beautiful wedding day! The weather was gorgeous-a perfect fall day with plenty of sunshine and light to capture amazing photographs.

Justyna was a stunning bride wearing a lovely A-line lace decorated Maggie Sottero gown with a unique birdcage veil head piece. The elegant look was finished with bold red lips enhancing Justynas contagious smile. Of course, Dave a handsome groom looked good in a slim fitting tux.

The calla lilies first seen in Justynas invitations, were carried over to her bouquet and center pieces at the reception. Simply elegant flowers really enhanced the mood of the evening.

We wish Justyna and Dave, our friends, a lifetime of happiness and love! Thank you both for sharing this special time with us at Blossom Accents!

California Central Coast Roadtrip

Recently my husband and I took a small vacation away from the day to day responsibilities and headed to California, specifically the central coast area. It was breathtaking and the ride among Highway 1 was just exhilarating!

We flew in to San Francisco and headed by car to Santa Barbara. A longer but beautiful drive. On the way we stopped by Monterey and Caramel by the Sea and drove the "the 17 mile drive". The prettiest piece of land you will ever drive!

When we got to Santa Barbara, we visited the area and also stopped by a cute little town in the valley called Ojai. Also Ventura Beach which is literally surfer haven, the waves were continuously active! Both areas had plenty for the foodies, shoppers or cafe goers!

California also has a few Old Missions which we visited on the way as well. All with unique history, beauty and charm.

On the way to our next destination San Louis Obispo, we stopped by a charming Danish town Solvang. Adorable street shops, boutiques, restaurants! The people are really friendly and hospitable! Oh and awesome Ebelskivers-danish pastry! Yummy!

In San Louis Obispo we drove to Pismo Beach. Had great seafood and watched the sunset.

Finally we drove to Big Sur along Highway 1. We took in the amazing views, watched elephant seals lay around on the beach, hiked beautiful trails with again, amazing views and finished the eveing with dinner at Nepenthe a restaurant on top of a cliff overlooking the Pacific Ocean! Just one word- AWESOME!

The last day of our trip we relaxed in San Louis Obispo, toured the town and ended the evening with friends at a local winery drinking wine and watching the sun go down. Glorious!

Accomadations:

Santa Barbara: Marina Beach Motel  Nice staff and great location. 

San Louis Obispo: Peach Tree Inn  Nice staff, good breakfast and also good location! Cheap!

Pink and Brown-Carnation Wedding Invitations

Blossom Accents has been so busy lately, I hardly have time to blog anymore. But I really wanted to share with all of you one of the latest invitations I have mailed. Pink and brown carnation invitations made for a little babies christening. Anna, her mother has been a client of mine since a few years back. She's returned one more time to have these beauties custom made just for her daughters baptism. I think they came out wonderfully and a perfect compliment to such as special occasion!

Green Orchid Wedding Invitations - New in the Studio!

These invitations are created for Paula. She contacted me back in July curious to know if I would be able to draw some green orchids! Of course I said- "would love to!" and I got to work.

I love how the artwork turned out. The green is so fresh and eye catching! In the photos you will also see the original drawing and my favorite Prismacolor pencils.

Meet a Blossom Accents Bride! Kelly and Tim

Today I have the pleasure of sharing some fantastic photographs from one of our brides! Working with Kelly has been a blast! Her impeccable attention to detail is seen through out the reception to the ceremony.

It is obvious she adores sunflowers. The sunflower invitation from Blossom Accents was the first glimpse the guests received prior to the celebrations. On the day of the wedding, these cheerful blossoms are seen in the bouquet, the bridesmaids hair, centerpieces, wedding programs and much more. Fantastic!

Navy blue and bright yellow were the dominating colors of this wedding theme. The groom and groomsmen were sporting grey suits with alternating yellow and navy ties. The gorgeous bridesmaids wore really elegant knee length dresses with cute yellow heels!

The memories were captured in all sorts of fun places! Ice cream shop, rail road tracks, porches and much more. All photography was the fine work of Michael Rastall.

Thank you for sharing Kelly and Tim! Wishing the two of you the best of what life has to offer! xo
