Fast Friday…Fan!

So, I’m doing a fast post for this Friday. I just realized it’s almost five and the day has slipped away. And, since it is such a rainy and cold day, I thought I would share Susan and Rob’s fan program from their wedding last weekend. Hopefully, it makes you think of warmer and sunny days! Susan actually came to us “out of the blue” to make these fan programs. We altered our normal design slightly, to make a square style, which I have to admit, I really like! Hope you do too! Enjoy!

Chandelier Cheer

Nyya and Michael were married this past weekend, so I can now share their wedding accessories! Some of you might remember their awesome invitations…complete with a vintage glam swirl design and of course, the chandelier. Well, we carried through the same feel to their programs, table numbers, menus and escort cards. I just love how it all came together! I even got a great note from their awesome wedding coordinator, Michele, of Michele Damon Events, thanking us for our work and gushing over the programs. And, I heard from Nyya’s mom, Carole, that Nyya and Michael are having a great time on their honeymoon! So happy that we could play a part in their special day. Enjoy!

Ready for the Rehearsal?

A lot of people ask me if we do rehearsal dinner invitations (and, to add to that list…brunch invitations, wedding announcements, shower invitations, etc.). The short answer is “YES”! We can design and make all of your wedding stationery (and non-wedding too!).
Here is an example of a rehearsal invitation we just did for Veronica and Jason. For those of you who don’t remember their invitation (click here to see the blog post), it included a wine pocket and charcoal grey accents — along with a pretty swirl design on the inside invite panel of the pocket. The rehearsal invite was a simpler version of the invite, using their colors and swirl design…and a postcard response for guests! Love the coordinating look! Enjoy!

Holiday Cards!!!

Today has been a fun and festive day in the studio! We have spent the day designing each of our cards for the holiday season. While it might seem a little early, we’re always SO busy in November that we thought we’d get a head start this year. AND, this means that we have some great new designs for all of you to order for your holiday cards. If you are interested in any of these designs or want us to create something perfect for you, just drop us an email (info@allisonbarnhilldesigns.com). Without further ado…here are some pics and a little insight into why it is perfect for each person! Enjoy!


My card says, “Spread the holiday cheer, one mailbox at a time”. I thought this was perfect since I make invitations and stationery that show up in LOTS of people’s mailboxes…and hopefully spread lots of cheer!


Allie and her hubby are avid sailors and LOVE the color blue. “High Tide. Low Tide. Yuletide.” Seriously, it is perfect for them…and since today is their second anniversary…Happy Anniversary!


Kaitlin’s card is too cute…love the pink and silver color scheme and how can you go wrong with mistletoe?!?


Amy’s card features her adorable puppy, Riley, who is dressed up for the holidays! Awh!!!


Okay, this isn’t for one of the girls in the studio, but I just had to do it…and yes, that is hanging on the tree!


And, finally, this one is for my mom…she has been asking me for YEARS to design her a Christmas card with a beach feel. She and my dad live at the beach year round and my mom relishes the fact that “it never snows at the beach”. So, SURPRISE Mom!!! Just tell me how many you want!!! :)

Classic..just classic…

Kate and Brady were married this past weekend up in New York, so I can finally share their classic and beautiful wedding day accessories. (Check out their save the dates and invitations too!) First, the programs are a new design and I just love it! It’s a smaller booklet size with a foldover backing and a pretty bow. All of their table decor – menus, escort cards and table numbers — followed the same gold and ivory color scheme. Can’t wait to see pictures from this wedding…sure to be a show stopper! Enjoy!
