Hello!Lucky
Letterpress greeting cards, thank you notes, DIY projects, free printables and craft inspiration.
We came across this super brill on Somewhere Splendid - so cool and inspiring!
Love the loose, modern, fun approach and the quirky little animal details...
We have a seriously thing for neon pink and love the way it pops when combined with cool neutrals...
And, well, seriously, ANYTHING with a meerkat...! See more here.
Check out these lovely cake stands that you (yes, you!) can make with just a teeny bit of effort!
We love how sweet, yet modern, they look...
They're from table legs, plywood, and dollhouse trim!
We found these on You Are My Fave and the tutorial can be found in Bee in Our Bonnet...
These prize ribbons from the Curiosity Shoppe (one of our favorite local stores) would make great boutonnieres!
Via Creature Comforts.
How cute are these little origami boxes? We found them over on Les Surprises de Fifi Mandirac (these are her super adorable papers - love the mixed patterns). She found this on K.Design, a lovely blog with all kinds of cute origami ideas...
They would make adorable favor boxes and they look pretty easy to make! You can find the instructions here (they are very clear, but in French, so a quick translation follows, should you need it!)
Row 1: I used a piece of square origami paper (12 x 12 cm or 15 x 15 cm)
Row 2: Fold along dotted lines
Row 3: Unfold the left and right sides
Row 4: Raise the left side; bring the flap down and inside
Row 5: Repeat on the right side
Conseil: Tip: to make a cover, use a slightly larger piece of paper
We posted on the amazing Dana Tanamachi a little while ago, but we had to bring her up again, because (drum roll please!) she is available to do custom lettering on anything covered in chalkboard paint - i.e. a totally amazing something something for your wedding! How amazing would having something like the above be? Amazing! Cover a sheet of plywood with chalkboard paint and voila! a genius thing for your décor and a fab keepsake! We could also imagine seriously cool backdrop for the ceremony or a photo booth...We are giddy; oh the possibilities...
This rant a continuation of a rant on 100 Layer Cake...
...makes the most beautiful cakes we've ever seen! We don't even really want to eat this so much as wear it...
She used to be a ballet dancer - so apropos, no?
So ethereal and lovely...see the rest of her stunning portfolio here...

We are SUPER excited to report that our new book, Handmade Weddings, created with the extra fabulous Shana Faust, is here!!
The book includes over 50 delightful (if we do say so ourselves! ) projects designed to inspire, whether your look is modern classic or retro homespun along with lots of guidance on choosing a look, sourcing materials, and working out timelines.
Better yet, 100 Layer Cake is giving away 5 copies (as we speak!) to lucky readers as well as a discount on the book!
Here's the cute trailer for the book! Woot! (very excited!)
Loving this "just hitched" sign by Bash Please from this Los Angeles wedding...so cute!
More photos here.
We are always so pleased to be a part of our client's celebrations - especially a celebration like this one. Tina & Rudy renewed their vows after 25 years of marriage! The happy couple then...
and now!
A few pieces of stationery we did for their gorgeous event...
See all the details here!
For rustic elegance for a southwestern wedding, or a beach destination wedding, we think these 50's and 60's vintage Mexican wedding dresses are muy lovely.
Found this on Ruffled. Sadly, it sold a while back on Etsy. Maybe there are others like it just waiting to be found in closets and estate sales?
Or how about this genuine 50's article. Just look at the detailing below! Methinks we're on a bit of a lace kick!
Found this dress here.
We have a new southwestern wedding invitation design coming out soon, a southwest skyline, similar to our Desert Skyline holiday card. Keep your eyes peeled for our new design launch, just around the corner. We're super excited!
Our Mi Amor and Malaga designs might also suit a southwestern style fete or fiesta. Or for beach destination weddings, our Visit Hawaii is easily adapted to other shoreline locales with a simple text customization.
Thinking warm thoughts on chilly day, and wishing warm weather your way!
Check out Lacey and Sam's charming wedding in Portland!
Everything is so beautiful and green! Looks like a perfect summer day for a beautiful wedding!
We love how they used all different colors of our Sweetheart design for their different cards and envelopes. The effect is adorable. Dig the DIY paper belly bands, ribbon and envelope liners. Beautiful, bright and summery!
Charming table settings. They used tea tins for their floral arrangements. Brilliant!
Lovely! If you would like to see more photos of the wedding, Lacey sent us a link to this Bridal Banter blog. The photography is courtesy of River Rock Studio.
Maryland based Etsy seller whichgoose makes such lovely items....of course they would be beautiful at a wedding, but what about for a glamorous holiday party as well?!
Via Elephantine.
We are getting the urge to do some last minute holiday crafting after coming across these super cool Danish (or German or Moravian) paper stars! There's a handy tutorial - love this wreath idea, and these would look so great nestled into a Christmas tree, or just hanging around, being festive! And, they would be lovely as a wedding detail (since we have weddings on the brain over here) - perhaps as a cute place card holder? (Fingers tapping chin, contemplatively)...

How gorgeous is the typography on these chalkboard drawings by Dana Tanamachi?
These may even rate the extra high honor of Geniusy Genius...So inspiring!
You can find more of her work here.

We are seriously swooning over Elizabeth Dye's 2011 collection - breathtaking!
Available at the English Department or online here.
Via Frolic.
Some of us have been traveling here at Hello!Lucky and we're a little confused about what season it is! We thought these delicate silk tree mobiles by Moon-Lily Silk were a refreshing way to look back while marching ever onward toward spring...was it?
Brought to mind our Autumn Leaves design.
And these brought to mind EIEIO's Lunaria design. Lovely, modern and nature-inspired.
And of course, Cherry Blossom.
Such lovely decorations for seasonally inspired weddings!
And, they might look equally beautiful in a nursery, no? (A child's nursery, that is, not an arboreal one where they might get a little lost.)
Thanks so much, Jan, for sharing!
We were so thrilled to be a part of the wedding of Lee & Sean - check out their gorgeous wedding that took place at Barn Diva in Healdsburg (love Barn Diva!)...
We designed her wedding invitations and day of stationery - the wedding invitations were especially cool as our design was laser engraved onto wood veneer by Oslo Press. It really added to the modern organic feel of the invitation...
We made these paddle fans too! Cute, right? Love the yay flags! Genius idea...
A few more lovely details...

We were remiss in giving props to one of our favorite wedding blogs, Style me Pretty, for doing such a lovely feature of our holiday cards.
Check out Style me Pretty's blog to get your daily eye-candy fix. Today they have a gorgeous spread about wedding welcome bags for destination weddings, among other tasty offerings.
Oh! And about that holiday card feature, did we mention there's a promo code?
As you know, we are big fans of Ban.do and even bigger fans of ingenius budget-friendly flair (and, like a bunch of ravens, anything that glitters...) - and thus, we were thrilled to discover their fab shoe clips! How cute are these hearts?
We also love us some pom poms!
Cute! Fabulous for the bride, bridesmaids, holiday parties, or simply to put a little pep in your step! Find them here.
