Special Delivery! Saman, owner of 2Create Designs was having her first born baby girl! It’s only fitting that Baby Serene is welcomed into the world in 2Create Design Studio style. A Baby Bling Soiree for the lovely little princess! <3 <3 <3

So when Saman came to us to design her invitation, we got to work! Sometimes in order to push the envelope, you should just get rid of it completely. So we did. Saman found these adorable pink tin mailboxes in lieu of paper envelopes. We designed the double sided post card, labels, stamps and registry to cater the “Special Delivery-Postcard-Telegram-Couture” theme.

The invitation set the tone for the event. The special delivery package invite was intended to make you highly anticipate the event. The day of, Saman’s delivery was indeed special.

Her transformation of the space was breathtaking. She created a magical castle for her little princess, where everything was still so baby glam-chic…and so Serene. The ambiance was nothing short of perfect to introduce her baby girl to.

As intense as all the decor was, the favors were even more intense. She had full sized apothecary jars filled with pink and silver kisses and a metal scoop. We designed the tag that included the poem below and the tag for the outer packaging which included Serene’s healthy birth stats =]. Additionally, she had a full candy bar, dessert table with not one – but SIX block cakes for each letter for Serene, and a Golden Spoon Fro Yo Bar. Amaze. It’s always a pleasure working with such a talented individual. She cares about the details as much as we do and the results are fabulous!

Here’s to two amazing parents and a beautiful Baby Serene! {Can’t wait for her next birthday party ;] }

Imagine a female version of Ocean’s 11– Seriously. A Team of 11 of Ashley’s Ace’s forwent planning a casino robbery in lieu of planning a casino shower. The end result: A lil’ Casino Royale, a lil’ Romance, and a lot of Sexy. Equipped with maps, spreadsheets, meetings and teams — we practically could have made our own movie! But, somehow I think the lack of Brad Pitt, George Clooney, and Matt Damon’s star prowess would not help our cause. Anyways…

I’m no gambler, but I went all in with the idea I had for the invitation. After crap shooting a bunch of “blah” ideas, I decided to keep it simple: 4 Aces for Ashley. Each card listed different information for the shower details. The cards were printed double sided with 1/4 in. rounded edges, and a Red Garnite & Charcoal Gray Swarovski Crystal on the 1st Card.

That made it easy and clear to pave the way for the rest of the design elements! A Red, black, and White color palette theme was kinda default chosen for us going off of the Card Suites and shapes.

The water bottle labels had 4 different designs; One for each card suite shape — Hearts, Diamonds, Spades, & Clubs.

When we went flower shopping, we found black flowers! Love. We paired white hydrangeas with Chocolate Cosmos, Red Roses and Curly Willow. Ashley’s fabulous twin sister, elder sister and BFF’s took care of the food and the gorgeous cake! Our other A-Team member/BFF took care of the games…It was a fabulous calloborative A-Team effort.

Perhaps it was divine intervention, or just a gift from the gods – but what ever the case,  Miss Natasha was well deserving of this Greek Goddess {All White & Gold Err-thing} Bridal Shower.  A Bridal Shower that came straight from Mt. Olympus, was totally  fitting for the well-traveled bride, whose favorite vacay spot is Greece {Also their honeymoon destination}.

I love, love, love borrowing elements of fashion and couture and incorporating the look and style on paper.

Saadia Mirza is my new fave. She’s edgy, she’s chic, she’s amazing.

Because I suck at providing new content on a regular basis, [which is actually about to change - just you wait what's in store!] I figured I’d make this one last.

Sexy, right? Oh, and her name is kinda cool too…I’m just sayin’ =D

I think I spent more time and energy in planning my sister’s bridal shower than some people put into planning their own weddings. Yah. I was SO excited my big sister was getting married, this was the first thing I couldn’t wait to do for her. She didn’t really have a choice @ the theme though. Yah. I told her it was going to be Arabian Nights…

“you cool with that?”
“ok”
“perff…I’m gonna make you look like Jasmine!”
“ok, but I’m not even engaged.”
“so.”
Yup, that’s pretty much what happened.
