Real Wedding: Michelle and Jacob

Just married! We recently had the pleasure of designing a "Just Married!" photo card for Michelle and Jacob's private June celebration. This one couldn't be any more playful! The whimsical watercolor, precious pinks and tell-all photograph just screams pure joy.

Michelle and Jacob wed at the San Francisco City Hall, accompanied by 15 close family and friends. The photographer, our dear friend Edyta Szyszlo, shot these utterly romantic images of the big day, and their reception at Bar Jules in Hayes Valley (below). We're loving the simplicity of the event, and the casual/comfortable setting for their reception. Just the right amount of table decor paired with classic dinnerware makes for an effortless yet chic display.

Real Wedding: Erin and Nick in Sonoma

We're thrilled to share Erin and Nick's beautiful Sonoma wedding! There were bushels of beautiful photographs, taken by Kate Harrison Photography, so it was hard for us to choose! Nevertheless, we narrowed them down as best we could— all the more for you to savor!

Such a fun and stylish wedding party! The ladies have such beautiful bouquets and we love the simplicity of the boutonnieres.

Our Heartland wedding stationery was a perfect choice for the style and venue!

Love the door at the altar—this photo is so magical!

Such a fun way to escort guests to their places!

And such splendid places!

Congrats, Erin and Nick. We wish you all the best! And thanks again to Kate Harrison for sharing the beautiful images!

Studio Snapshot: The Collection + A Roadtrip

We're thrilled to be teaming up with The Collection Event Studio a gorgeous design studio, retail shop and meeting space in downtown Sonoma.  Always up for a mini road trip, we jumped into the car, iced coffee in-hand and took off for wine country!

The girls at The Collection have curated a wonderful assortment of products and vendors and showcase them so beautifully in their space.  Its like a one-stop shop for planning the most perfect rustic chic wedding!

We couldn't leave Sonoma without a quick peek into the Church Mouse Thrift Shop where we gazed with envy upon shelf after shelf of vintage china and stemware.  Lillian found a perfect silver cocktail shaker!

How great is the pattern on these cups and saucers?  Inspiration is everywhere!

Studio Snapshot: A Soolip Wedding!

We were so excited to be part of A Soolip Wedding at the gorgeous Bentley Reserve this weekend - and what fun it was! Not one to toot our own horn *wink wink* but our booth was adorable.  And what better way to appreciate the amazing texture of letterpress wedding invitations than to see and touch them in person?

We spotted this lush frame holding business cards and imagined it as a display for escort cards at a garden wedding!

Beautiful Berkshires Wedding: Peyton and Liz

This charming variation of our rustic Heartland design was featured on Berkshire Wedding Style!

Adore the colors and the eclectic décor! And we bet the beautiful Berkshires made for the perfect backdrop. (Some of us here at Hello!Lucky can claim those pretty mountains in western Mass. as old stomping ground.)

We love doing custom designs with Heartland/Apple Farm! Keep'm comin'!

Real Wedding: EJ and Linh

EJ and Linh's wedding was featured on Style Unveiled! We worked with one of our favorite florists, Nancy Liu Chin, to create a custom design to go with the couple's modern theme. Read more about their spectacular day at Villa Montalvo here.

Real Wedding: Lee & Sean

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...

Real Wedding: Camilla and Hank

What a beautiful backdrop! This fantastic San Francisco Wedding was just featured on Snippet and Ink.

Love the pairing of our place cards/escort cards with the Russian Dolls. Such rich colors. And Bimbo's 365 Club was just the right venue for retro ambiance. We adore Bimbo's delicate pink monogrammed plates with the menus, too! Fab photos by Our Labor of Love.

Real wedding: Nicole and Wolfgang

Nicole and Wolfgang's gorgeous wedding is featured on Martha Stewart Weddings! The couple choose our Orchid design for their Napa Valley wedding, featuring real orchids by Sharla Flock Designs.

Possibly the most perfect wedding video ever created

Apologies for the insanely long title, but this video of model Coco Rocha and designer James Conran's wedding is so stunning and beautiful that nothing less would have been appropriate. To see the longer cut, please go here.

Real wedding: Erin and Jeremy

We are thrilled to report that the wedding of Eunice's best friend, Erin and her new hubby, Jeremy, is featured on Style Me Pretty today!

It was a truly fabulous and fun affair, designed by Alison Events, with lots of ingenious details, including a vintage card catalog that acted as the seating guide. Each guest's card was cross-referenced with other guests according to interests, life history, etc....

...and possibly the most amazing and hilarious first dance -  done to Hey Soul Sister by Train and including the Beyoncé's signature move from All the Single Ladies (need we say more?)...

...a photo booth by Magnolia Photo Booth - always a huge hit at any party...

We collaborated with Erin and Jeremy to come up with a charming array of stationery inspired by vintage ephemera and McSweeny's. The invitation was supposed to look like a page torn from a book...

The replies were Mad Libs fashioned to look like an old school Western Union telegram...

And the programs, designed to look like a vintage book...

This was one of our favorite projects so far this year!  We really loved their creativity and sense of fun.

Chandelier inspired wedding cake!

Foodie couple Natalie West (pastry chef) and Alex Nemeth (executive chef) were so inspired by our Chandelier wedding invitation that they used the motif on their wedding cake! The newlyweds enlisted baker Amelia Julio at Sweet Teeth Bakery to execute their vision for their Seattle nuptials at Herban Feast Sodo Park. Read more about their wedding menu here. Congrats Natalie and Alex!

Equestrian Wedding

We were incredibly honored when photographer Larissa Cleveland and planner Shannon Leahy asked us to participate in an equestrian themed photo shoot at the stunning Arastradero Preserve in Palo Alto.

We created invitations, reply cards, place cards, programs, and pony ride tickets complete with horseshoe motifs, gingham patterns and classic fonts.

Vintage prize show ribbons added to the rustic theme.

Even the cake used horseshoes as decoration!

See more photos at Snippet & Ink (thanks Kathryn!), as well as a list of participating vendors.

Real Wedding: Lily and Andrew

Did you see Lily and Andrew's breathtaking wine country wedding on Style Me Pretty? Can you say gorgeous? We worked with the bride and groom to create all their paper products - from the save the dates to the place cards, and everything in between. Inspired by our Classic Cowboy, Heartland and Biltmore wedding designs, we created a unique suite that fit their rustic chic theme perfectly.

The wedding was a true family affair. Andrew's cousin Jocelyn Arelt was their wedding planner, and  Andrew's aunt, Valerie Arelt, did all the flowers!

The wedding and reception took place in the Sonoma Valley, at Lily's parents ranch. It was 106 that day! The ceremony took place in the middle of an oak grove.

Guests enjoyed dinner catered by the Jimtown store in a Zephyr tent.

Lily wore a Monique Lhuillier dress and Andrew donned a Thomas Pink suit.

Many, many congrats to Lily and Andrew!!!

Wilbur Hot Springs

Wilbur Hot Springs (the location of Eunice and Daniel's wedding) is a 20-room historic hotel, built in 1915, surrounded by an 1800-acre private nature preserve, and includes soothing natural hot springs. Wilbur is run 100% off the grid, powered entirely by solar panels and propane. This beautiful and serene location was the perfect spot for the wedding - the hotel could house the couples family and friends, and the vast surrounding fields were perfect to set up a brightly painted stage, rustic farm benches and enormous white tent. Wilbur is located about three hours northeast of San Francisco and is a perfect stop for a relaxing weekend of hiking, soaking in the hot springs and good ol' R&R!

Real Wedding: Marnie and Brian

We were super excited to be involved in designing for this ceremony! Marni and Brian's wedding is the stuff plush Gothic romances are made of! We love the dark color palette interspersed with more traditional details.

The couple began their ceremony taking a lovers stroll through the labyrinth at San Francisco's hallmark Grace Cathedral, lighting candles as they passed.

They then met up with their guests, who had only been told they were to be driven to the woods, instructions awaiting. Each guest was then welcomed with "survival kits" of edible treats and well-stocked flasks. The understated ceremony took place beneath a simple white canopy in the redwoods of beautiful Muir Woods.

We started by creating custom designed letterpress invitations which summoned the Victorian details Marni knew she wanted--redwood trees, roses, birds, and Victorian embellishments.

Carrying Marni and Brian's Victorian Gothic theme throughout the events of this two day affair, we also worked to design letterpress programs, menus, seating cards, and cocktail napkins.

One of our absolutely favorite parts? The couple even had the redwood tree graphic from the invitation etched onto whiskey flasks! Cheers to that!

The following night, Marni and Brian gathered everyone together again, this time for a reception party held in San Francisco at Hamlin Mansion. We love the playfully rich palette of rich green and purple fabrics for the table settings. Built in 1901 in Italian Baroque style, this venue offers stunning views of the Golden Gate Bridge.

Decked out in whimsical charm, feathers, and purple and magenta accents, we're loving the floral arrangements by Cherries Flowers.

We adore the cigars and doughnut bar by Erin Bell!

Thanks to Erin Beach, who did an amazing job on photography and Moira Gubbins, the wedding coordinator from Hamlin Mansion.
