Courtney & Ken ~ 10.5.13

LOVE!! Not only were Courtney & Ken by far the sweetest, nicest couple we worked with all of 2013, but they are right up there as being one of the best EVER! We can not say enough great things about them, their kindness, their love for each other and just all the lovely that pours out of them. You can't help but be happy when you are around them :) We were so blessed to be able to create their wedding invitations, escort cards and table numbers. Here are some photos to enjoy taken by the amazing Nathan & Amanda Photographers. Visit their Blog and Facebook Page to see more photos from this October 2013 Wedding.

What Courtney & Ken have to say about DG Invites:

"Darci was wonderful to work with! She was very patient, flexible, and creative throughout the whole process. Darci was always kind and responsive, and made our invitations an easy, happy, and beautiful part of our wedding".

Get Ready...Only 2 days until the Bridal Show!

The BIG Bridal show in Cleveland is THIS weekend! If you are engaged or will be in the next 2 days....you can't miss this one! It is by far the biggest and best Bridal show you can attend in the Cleveland and surrounding areas. It will host the most vendors in any category you may be looking for. Of course I brag about the show because we will be there, but really you should too! It is hosted by the wonderful Today's Bride. We are always excited about the BIG show even though for the weeks leading up to it and the day of set-up might just stress us out a little, or maybe more than a little! After doing this show last year we had the most clients we have ever had and can only hope we go up from there in 2014. Buy your tickets online now and get $3 off admission OR contact us to get FREE tickets. Don't miss it, this weekend January 18th from 2-8pm and 19th from 10-5pm. Stop by and visit us at booth #263. We will have a revamped booth just for you to check out all the lovely :) Last year we won for best booth design for a new vendor, here is a little shot of that booth. Hope we can pull off an award this year too!

Nina & David May 2012

Yes you are reading that correctly May of 2012...only a year and a half ago we did some amazing work for Nina & David's wonderful Florida destination wedding. Since then you may have seen it displayed at several Bridal Shows we have attended. Unfortunately we are BAD bloggers....it along with streamlining our Etsy store are our top priorities for 2014. So as the wedding season slows down we are going to flood you with all of the 2013 amazingness that has been produced and as you can see even some from 2012.

So Nina ad David...They had a very specific concept in mind as well as colors. Nina had found several ideas online that she liked but with very limited options, that is when she contacted me. She wanted to spice up the ideas she had seen, have them fit with her colors and create an overall cohesive look to the wedding. Not a problem...

We started with the invitations. Modern, fun with a mixture of patterns to spice them up (chevron, lattice & thick stripes).
