2010 wedding trends

January 14th, 2010

In January’s issue of ONE Magazine I talked about current wedding invitation trends. Yesterday my friends at Elizabeth Anne Designs and The Sweetest Occasion discussed overall wedding trends for 2010 on their respective blogs. There are so many creative ways to make your wedding reflective of your personality and to make it stand out from other weddings. Take a risk, be unique!

Some of my favorite trends for 2010 include:

Bridesmaids dresses in champagne, ivory and cream
Statement bouquets
Black shoes

What are some of your favorite new trends? What did you do (or plan to do) to make your wedding exceptional?

wedding invitations showcase your personality

January 13th, 2010

Did you happen to catch The Social Life of Paper in the January issue of ONE Magazine? We were featured in an article on wedding invitation trends. Below is a snippet of the story.

In May 2009, PJ Feinstein opened The Social Life of Paper. She is the curator of a non-classic, modern, and unique collection of invitations and announcements and is available by appointment.

“Your wedding invitation reflects your personality,” Feinstein said. “They’re beautiful keepsakes and are works of art that you can frame or put in a scrapbook.”

In the invitation business, Feinstein sees herself as the person bringing custom designers to the general public. She works with a core group of smaller designers from all over the country to insure that her invitations are one of a kind.

happy new year!

January 4th, 2010

This past year was a big one for The Social Life of Paper. In 2009, we officially opened our doors, welcoming new friends in search of unique wedding invitations, joyful holiday cards and sophisticated personalized stationery.

However, we’re anticipating that 2010 will be even more exciting!  To kick off the new year with a bang, we’ll be participating in the Omaha Bridal Showcase on Sunday, January 10th at the Mid-America Center in Council Bluffs. Will you be there? If so, be sure to stop by booth #113 to say hello and to enter our drawing for a fabulous prize!

Is there such a thing as calligraphy-overload? I don’t think so! Primele‘s calligraphy is playful yet sophisticated and definitely modern. Sometimes you don’t need an excess of flourishes and swirls.
