a big dump

Woke up this morning to a lovely sea of white fluffy cold stuff everywhere. It's gorgeous! There's nothing like the first sight of snow in the winter. I'm working from Fernie until the 5th, and I have so much snow, fireplace reading and snuggling to look forward to.

Ahhhh this is the life.

Stefanie and Shawn. Married August 18th, 2007.

Stefanie and Shawn got married this August and held their reception at the Hart House Restaurant in Burnaby, BC. That's where we come in. Stefanie's mom contacted us to get their wedding day stationery done. Something simple, using their wedding colours and to be carried through all the pieces. That's our specialty.

At the ceremony all the guests received a program... and at the reception, all the guests were seated...and were informed of what they were about to eat... and at any point they could get up and sign one of their guest book cards...

Jen and Chris. Married March 31st, 2007

Now that I have time, I'd like to start showing some of the creative wedding reception designs we've worked on in 2007. We've had quite a few weddings this year, so I'll try and show you pieces that I think stand out a bit from the others. So many couples with their own brilliant ideas and it's so amazing to be able to offer them our services to make it all happen.

To start, I've got some designs from Jen and Chris, from North Vancouver, BC. Their invitation was very simple and set the tone for their Capilano Suspension Bridge wedding, but they had some really fun ideas for their reception.

Jen and Chris received permission to use an old Capilano Suspension Bridge photograph for their wedding designs. On the back of their ceremony program they listed a bunch of historical facts about the famous bridge. And why not?! It's fun and who doesn't love facts. I personally really do.

(below: The front and back of their ceremony program.)


At the reception, every guest received a trivia card with a question on one side and multiple choice answers on the back. I'm not exactly sure how they were used at the wedding, but I bet they included it somehow in a fun and laugh supplied way. Laugh supplied...does that make sense? Well anyways. It's done.

(Below: trivia cards, view of front and back)

On each table their was a table number and on the other side was a thank you note to all their guests along with a very important message. Very efficient. Robo would definitely approve.

(Below: table card/thank you)

And lastly, their table chart. I'm quite sure it looked better at their wedding than up against our office wall. But it's still pretty cool and big. 2' x 3'.

not much of a slower period

It's mid November and we're already hitting our busy wedding season. How nutty and amazing is that!? about this much <--------------- x2 -----------------> mmm. ya. about that much.

We've met a few fantastic couples over the past few weeks, from all over the globe. Lots of creative ideas are being thrown at us...feels a bit like being hit by a bucket of sour patch kids. I LOVE sour patch kids!

It's nice to be challenged with new wedding design ideas. Bring it on!! I'm not scared.

With Teenie away for a week and a bit (to the big apple and North Carolina) I've been putting on my social cap to replace her. I don't know how she does it, but let me tell you, I miss her. it's only day 1. ohhhh noooo.

a little sad it's over

Well the week long celebration for Ronnh and Shabina is over. We laughed, we danced, we ate and boy did we drink. That's what love is all about!!

Here are some great memories from the mehndi parties, ceremony and reception. We're not professional photographers, but I'm sure you can still enjoy our amateur efforts.

Thanks for such a fabulous time, Warna's and Brar's. Love you, Ronnh and Shabina, and we hope you're having a spectacular and relaxing time in Japan!

carve punkin day 2007

So a little late, I know but still worth it to blog about carve punkin day 2007. BOY, was it a doosey!

Last Sunday, Benjamin and I drove out to the Richmond Farmer's Market, who had converted their farm behind the market into a full blown halloween pumpkin festivus for the restivus. We paid for two tickets and two bags, so that we could take a hay ride to the pumpkin fields, pick our own pumpkins and even get a free apple when we were done. Songs were sung, hands were clapping and boots got muddy as we trampled through the rainy and muddy farm in search for the perfect pumpkins.

Cold, dirty and pumpkin in hand, we headed back home and washed ourselves, our pumpkins and our boots. We rolled up our sleeves and the result? Two super duper awesome pumpkins (and a bag of yummy roasted seeds).


I know, I know, I'm a creative well. Listen, if you guys want tips for next year, I'm putting together a workshop.



I tried to teach him how to do it but he's all, "I CAN DOOOOOOOO IT MYSELF!!!"


Everybody, I'd like to introduce you to Hank and Spongebob.

Happy (one-day-late) Halloween!
