Couple Evangeline & Emmanuel were married in September '08 in New Rochelle, NY and had a custom aisle runner with a verse at the beginning of the runner and their names and date at the end. Vangie recently sent us these lovely photos along with a message that read:

"Emmanuel and I got married and you customized our aisle runner. We really loved it and received positive comments about it. Thanks!"

Thanks Evangeline & Emmanuel and best wishes for a lifetime of happiness!

You may remember a while ago we posted about doing a black runner for an event planned by Michelle of Lemiga Events... well she recently posted the pictures on her blog and WOW... talk about a serious birthday bash! Here are just a handful of the photos by Blue World Studios:





To check out more photos and read all the details of this incredible 30th birthday celebration you can read Michelle's full post here. So glad we were able to be a small part of this fabulous event!

We had so much fun creating corporate logo designs for Pink Tea Rose Events. Owner Tish explained that she wanted her logo to be fabulous, sophisticated, and stunning. Their amazing website and blog also helped us pull ideas for their designs. Thanks Tish and keep us in mind for all your events!

Tish's Feedback: Thanks so so much!

Sometimes you just know that a wedding's going to be fun. The aisle runner and matching banner we just created for couple Lyndsay & Curtis for their July wedding definitely give off the fun vibe. They chose monogram 28C for their items in their fresh, vibrant color pallet. We just adore how the trees turned out. Best wishes Lyndsay & Curtis... we hope to see pictures after the wedding!

Due to an extremely high volume of custom monogram and corporate logo orders pouring in we need to make a few minor adjustments. As of 3/23 all custom monogram orders will be for 3 designs at $30. All corporate logo orders will be for 3 designs at $40. (All orders that were paid before 3/23 will still receive 4 designs at the price paid.) We will still be allowing one free modification per design (within the limits specified on our site) but additional modifications will now be $5 each (for all orders placed after 3/22).

It is our hopes that cutting back to 3 designs per order will allow us to not be forced to increase our turnaround times. As always we are so thankful to have so many orders coming in and we appreciate your business and referrals!

Normally $15 these are a steal at just $7.50 when you apply the coupon code (MARCHDT) Or you can receive 50% off our very own reflection tags which make for a touching, sentimental gift for the Mother of the Bride (just $10 when you apply the coupon code) Hurry and place your order today!

The first two parasols are for a very special Bee from WeddingBee.com! She ordered a love parasol and a thank you parasol both in black font #10. The verse banner is for Bride Kristen, the unity candle set is for Bride Sarah who chose to use monogram 3D, and the Just Married parasol is for Bride Stacey in font#2. Thanks so much ladies and best wishes!

It's always so hard to do designer picks as we love all the designs we create... but we'd have to go with this one for our fave design for Polka Dot Paper Shop. Owner Kerrie wanted a fresh, preppy, feminine look to her designs and wanted something a little more modern than plain old polka dots. We love how the polka dots were incorporated behind some of the letters in this design... doesn't this logo make you want to go check out their fun website?!

Kerrie's Feedback: Thank you so much for the great logos! I really appreciate your work!

Couple Rachel & Brandon came to us quite a while back with a request for custom monograms that incorporated a hawk. They came back a few months later with a request to use their favorite monogram that we created on a custom aisle runner... well we LOVE how it turned out! The hawk is just so cool! Best wishes to Rachel & Brandon who will be married March 29th!

Without further ado, here is the designer pick for Style In A Nutshell! Owner Chris came to us with a request for stylish, iconic, feminine logos. These were so much fun to create as normally our corporate logos are for wedding & event planners... so it was fun to venture into the world of fashion!

The first is the designer pick for Events Extraordinare, owner Jennah came to us with a request for something bold and EXTRAordinary with curvy detailing. The second is the designer pick for Made of Honor; owner Katrina asked for something elegant, regal, and romantic. We love how these turned out!

In other news, we are SO overwhelmed with corporate logo orders!

We really appreciate your patience. Thank you so much to all our fabulous clients for your great referrals and your continued business! :)

Couple Melissa & Ryan were married on February 15, 2009 on a yacht in Fort Lauderdale, FL (how fun!) and used one of our custom runners with monogram 13D.

Congratulations Melissa & Ryan!

We are LOVING monogram 5B! Look how amazing it looks on these items we created for couple Tiffany & Jaques. Bride Tiffany came to us in January requesting a unity candle, aisle runner, and matching table runner for her March wedding, and we were glad to accommodate a rush order request for her. Best wishes to Tiffany & Jaques who will be married next weekend!

The postman shipped out lots of pretty today when he picked up these beautiful orders. The first is a custom aisle runner for Angela & Bud who selected monogram 1C. The two thank you parasols are for brides Kat & Sarah, and the E parasol is for bride Teresa. Best wishes to all!

For the second week of March Madness, we're offering our Personalized Ring Pouches at 50% off! Keep your wedding bands safe and sound in our beautiful embroidered keepsake pouches. A pair of custom pouches with a velcro fastener fit securely in a sheer drawstring bag and are personalized in your choice of font & thread color.

Let's face it, no one wants to trust their precious wedding bands to the little ring bearer (that's way too much responsibility for a little one!) so most couples entrust the best man to carry the rings. Now you don't want him to just toss the rings into his pocket do you?Heaven forbid he has a hole in his pocket! And you definitely don't want him to be walking around with the big bulky ring box... so these personalized ring pouches are the perfect solution. They can be embroidered with the couples new married monogram and date or you can put the bride's first initial on one with the date underneath and the groom's first initial on the other with the date (as shown above). Either way they're cute, personal, and a great way to keep your precious wedding bands safe. These are definitely one of our favorite picks! And now at 50% off... well, you just can't beat the price. Use code MARCHRP when placing your order.

Sharon of Naturally Chic came to us with a request for corporate logos. Naturally Chic is a company geared towards active, outdoorsy young professionals who are getting married, so Sharon wanted her logos to reflect nature but to be stylish at the same time. We just love the end results! Thanks Sharon and best wishes!

Sharon's Feedback: "Thank you so much! The logo's are absolutely gorgeous. I love them all and it will be a difficult choice. Thanks again, I will definitely keep you in mind for future events."

Congratulations to our March Featured Couple, Deanna & Robert! Words cannot even begin to express how delighted we were when Deanna & Robert sent us the gorgeous images from their fall wedding taken by their insanely talented photographer, Todd Laffler. This stunning couple was married on October 12, 2008 at the Gardens on Caitlin Creek in State Hill, New York. They already had their monogram when they came to us requesting a custom aisle runner and we were glad to use their beautiful design. Best wishes Deanna & Robert!

A note from Deanna: "Our runner made our ceremony all that more special. Thanks!"

Side note: After receiving these images from Deana we just had to learn more about Todd Laffler and his work so we visited his website and blog and WOW.
