As “teased” and promised yesterday, Jen Lowe (http://www.jlowephotos.com/) sent me some awesome pics she took yesterday at the Historic Inns of Annapolis Bridal Show. The overall theme and design for each table (and the ballroom itself) was courtesy of Raquel Shutt from Wedding Savvy (http://www.weddingconsulting.net/). We were happy to complete Raquel’s vision by adding the paper accessories to the tables. Enjoy some of the phenomenal shots from the day! Thanks so much to Jen — your detail shots rock!!!
Here’s the Hollywood Glam table — lots of white, ivory and gold! Luxurious!
Hollywood Glam invite in ivory pearl, gold and white pearl, adorned with rhinestone buckle
This menu has an ivory pearl backing, gold and white pearl top layer and is adorned with a gold Swarovski rhinestone!
Place card in white pearl with gold Swarovski rhinestone
Doesn’t this table number look awesome hanging from the birch branches and orchids?!?
This Deco Indian inspired table was so awesome to see come together. The mint green, spiced red and gold colors really popped on the table.
A triangle shaped place card with Indian henna-inspired design — which we carried out through all of the items for this “wedding”.
Ahhh!!! I’m in love with this pic…menu with mint green backing with white pearl top layer that is imprinted with coordinating design.
And, here is the pocket invitation we designed to coordinate with this table….love the corner design elements…which are carried through onto the monogram tag that closes the pocket.

We attended the Historic Inns of Annapolis Bridal Show today and designed the accessories for two unique tablescapes in the ballroom. The fabulous Jen Lowe from jlowe photos (www.jlowephotos.com) was there for the event too and as always, was my own personal paparazzi. Jen is sending me pics tomorrow afternoon, so check back for some awesome shots from the “Indian inspired deco” and “Hollywood glam” tables.

We started working with Amy & John in July of 2008 and can’t believe their wedding has already come and gone. We’ve blogged about their save the dates and invitations in previous posts. This post is a nod to all of their anchor themed accessories. We created table numbers, menus, a custom guest seating chart, programs and favor tags for their big day. Amy & John used our favor tags and tied them to organza bags that had a iced cookie with their pug’s picture on it, too cute! Enjoy!

March 2009 has been our busiest month yet (which means we’re a little behind on our blog posts…) Being busy has meant working with new designs, new colors and some amazing new clients. Here are three items we finished working on in the month of March that are all in the green color family. Green isn’t a color we work with often and we thought it would be fun to post it this month since St. Patrick’s Day is such a Green-colored holiday. Enjoy!

We had heard a lot about this article from the folks at What’s Up? Weddings over the past few months. Little did we know that about two thirds of the invitations featured in the “You’re Invited” article, in the new Spring/Summer 2009 issue, would be our creations! Wow!
Below are all of the pages from the article, along with a description of which invites are ours. The article was a little lean on details, so we wanted to make sure you knew which invites were Allison Barnhill Designs. Enjoy!
