Pattinson’s Wedding Invitation Wonders

I am not typically one to follow celebrity gossip, though it seems next to impossible when it relates to the Twilight movie series. Actors Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart are major stars of the Twilight series and therefore their lives cannot help but be broadcasted throughout the news media. Which is why I was not surprised when I heard that Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart were getting married.

Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart recently announced their engagement to get married which was met with joy and enthusiasm from all their fans. But the only thing I could think of was what are their wedding invitations going to look like? Would their wedding invitations be custom, artisan crafted, gold foiled or printed in blood?

The only proper way to announce the marriage of Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart is with custom crafted letterpress wedding invitation designs. To match the classical look and authentic quality that these Twilight characters have built up, many media critics have said that this couple will almost certainly be choosing letterpress wedding invitations.

But no matter what type of wedding invitations this power couple will choose, they will be working with professionals who provide excellent customer service and amazing quality in their letterpress wedding invitations.

After ordering her wedding invitations from Invitations by Ajalon, Linda said:

“I received my invitations yesterday. They look great!! I can’t wait to give them out to my family and friends. Thanks again!!!”

Celebrity Marriage of Ford and Flockhart

I recently heard that Harrison Ford and Calista Flockhart got married in a small, unconventional wedding ceremony. While there are details that are still uncertain, one juicy tidbit is that Harrison said “I do” while wearing jeans. I also heard a rumor that the couple ordered a custom letterpress wedding invitation design. Which is not surprising considering the level of quality, sophistication and unbeatable beauty that can only be found with letterpress wedding invitations.

Part of the appeal of letterpress wedding invitations is their ability to elegantly announce any wedding, no matter the style, theme or overall cost of the event. There are letterpress wedding invitations for celebrities that have millions, and specials on affordable letterpress wedding invitations for brides that probably have a significantly lower wedding budget ;)

Letterpress Wedding Invitations Designs with Bamboo and Flowers

When it comes to letterpress wedding invitation designs, the sky is the limit. There are a million and one styles from elegant, modern, classical, Indian, bilingual or custom, letterpress invitations designs can be just about anything.

But today I wanted to talk about two letterpress wedding invitation designs that are amazingly beautiful yet understated in their elegance. Bamboo and floral designs are oftentimes forgotten about in the invitation discussion. So that is why I am here to say that bamboo and floral invitation sets can be amazing.

The Lucky Bamboo letterpress wedding invitation design has a simple sophistication that carries through the entire invitation set. The subtle bamboo shoots represent life, peace and happiness and are the perfect symbols for a fruitful marriage.

The Sakura letterpress wedding invitation carries a design of floral elegance that is not overpowering or overwhelming. Its beauty exists through its soft and symbolic nature. In China, cherry blossoms represent love and commitment, the combination of which are necessary for a successful marriage.

Themed Letterpress Wedding Invitations for Unique Couples

I was recently surfing around the online wedding invitation arena when I stumbled upon a really adorable story. A couple from Wales decided to take their wedding theme to the next level. Recreating their favorite movie (the movie they saw on their first date), Vivian and Tracey Williams dressed themselves in costumes and body paint so that they would resemble Fiona and Shrek from the Shrek movies.

This is quite possibly one of the most unique wedding themes I have ever heard of. The bride’s father and mother dressed up as Lord Farquaad and the Fairy Godmother, while the maid of honor resembled Snow White. Just in time for Shrek 4 to arrive on the big screen, this wedding theme was one for the record books.

While wedding themes are becoming more popular at home and abroad, it is important to think about the letterpress wedding invitations that can properly herald the good news. Finding or creating an elegant, custom letterpress wedding invitation design that fits your unique wedding theme should not be a difficult task.

All you have to do is ask.

After ordering her custom letterpress wedding invitation design, Sindhu said:

Legendary Wedding Proposal Needs Letterpress Wedding Invitations

Recently I when I was searching for wedding invitations and looking for all the latest trends and ideas for fall letterpress wedding invitations, I stumbled upon this amazing video. While I have seen a lot of epic wedding videos, video game wedding invitations as well as video wedding invitations, I had never seen a wedding proposal of such blockbuster proportions.

This groom-to-be planned out the entire production to try to catch his fiancé-to-be off guard. It is filled with singing, dancing, theatrical performances and a whole lot of love. Which makes me wonder, after such an amazing proposal, what kind of elegant letterpress wedding invitation designs can adequately follow up this performance:

The groom did a good job with this proposal. I am almost as excited that someone caught this event on camera as I am for this couple to spend their lives together. Now they need to move to the next phase in their wedding planning preparations, looking for the perfect wedding invitations. So brides, after receiving your proposals, what kind of letterpress wedding invitation design do you want?

Tasty Cake from The Buttercream Studio

Wednesday, July 7th, 2010

I have to admit, one of my favorite things about wedding shows are the cake samples. Just recently, we sponsored a booth at The City Club of San Francisco’s bridal open house. Lucky me, the booth next to us was The Buttercream Studio. Their marketing tag line “elegant, decadent, delicious” is no exaggeration!

The owner, head baker, and cake designer, Tracy Auseklis,  has developed many of her own recipes for moist and delicious cakes and rich buttercream. Unlike other cake designers, Tracy makes her own fondant, a sweet sugar dough that creates the perfect canvas for your ideas. Other recipes come from cake designers at the top of the profession, who have shared their secrets of making extravagant and scrumptious cakes and out-of-this world buttercream.

Here are some of my favorites:

Buttercream cake #1

Flora Danica

The soft flowers of the flora danica are amazing!

Buttercream photo #2

La Croix Inspired

I just love the bright, Indian-inspired colors of this cake!

Buttercream Indian cake

Indian / South Asian Inspired

But what’s even more amazing than how Tracy’s cakes look, they taste even better! It’s no wonder she was chosen for a Food Network challenge!
