Double-decker mugs

Spotted some cute double-decker bus mugs on a fun UK design store called Our Shop.  Naturally it made us think of our Visit London save the dates and wedding invitations.

Fancy a cup, eh?

Be sure to have a peek at all our destination wedding invitations. More cities coming soon!

Studio Snapshot: Moving Day!

We all love to know what goes on behind the scenes - a glimpse into the kitchen of that hot new restaurant or the chance to sit at the drawing board of our favorite fashion designer... we're giddy at the thought!  So in the spirit of sharing, we welcome you to our latest weekly feature - Studio Snapshot.  You might get a sneak peek at a snazzy new design we're dreaming up, hear about fun happenings around the studio, or meet some of the awesome people who make Hello!Lucky a super fun place to work!

Our current project is a little office makeover and here Lillian organizes samples in preparation for their shift across the studio.  How gorgeous is that shelf with its lacy carved details?  It was custom made just for us by our lovely and talented friends at Because We Can!

The result of all that hard work is a bright and airy space where customers can browse stationery, buy the latest greeting card or discuss custom wedding invitations with our helpful staff.  Pop in and say hello!

We adore this charming turquoise settee for spontaneous client chats and our giant farmhouse table is just the place for full scale design brainstorming!

Rows and rows of organized samples make it easy to spot favorite designs and gather inspiration!

A letterpress dress?  Oh yes!  This festive number was handmade by one of our crafty employees with Cherry Blossom save the date and RSVP cards.  Could there be a new trend in paper bridesmaid dresses?

A travel themed display showcases some adorable variations on our Destination Series created with local design duo Lab Partners.

With so many vivid colors and sweet little details its hard to pick a favorite but we're always going to be partial to our home sweet home - good old San Francisco!

We hope to see you soon!

Vintage Mexican Wedding Dresses

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 these stunning photos from Alix (aka The Cherry Blossom Girl) and Manu's wedding in Auvergne, France. Alix designed her dress and had it made in the MLH atelier. Gorgeous!

Destination wedding invitations

We're thrilled to release our new Destination series wedding invitations designed by local artists (and friends!) from Lab Partners. Inspired by vintage travel posters, their adorable illustrations couldn't be more perfect for a fun San Francisco affair, a glamorous London soirée, a tropical event in Hawaii or an elegant wedding in New York!

Vintage Travel Posters - Part 2

Here are a few more of our favorite travel posters - colorful San Francisco and deco New York City (a stylized skyline like this, minus the airplane of course, would be beautiful on a save the date or invitation paired with elegant Art Deco fonts...)

We love these cherry blossoms, and the pretty pastel color palette of this Seville poster.

And for beach destination weddings, these posters from Hawaii and Cote d'Azur are breezy and fabulous!

Vintage Travel Posters - Part 1

We have a longstanding love affair with vintage travel posters, and these next two posts are nothing short of an outright, shameless plea: if anyone is having a destination wedding and wants to use the golden age of travel to inspire your save the dates or reply postcards, please call us! We are dying to work with you!

We just love the color palettes and composition of these posters. Not to mention the Glamor, the Glory, the Romance!
