Vendor Highlight :: MODE Events

Today, I’m so excited to share an amazing vendor with you…MODE Events. Now, some of you know the man behind MODE, Brandon Casey. After spending many years planning amazing events at The Tremont in Baltimore, he decided to branch out on his own. I was over the moon when he contacted me to do some paper for a few styled shoots he was planning. So, today, not only do I get to share his business with you, but I can also share his expertise and art. Check out these amazing photos and maybe take a note of the paper we designed for them too! Below the photos is a listing of all the amazing vendors involved with these shoots. Good luck, Brandon! {And thanks again for the amazing cupcakes!}

The Year in Photos…2011

I wanted to share some of my favorite pictures of our work from 2011. This has been an amazing year filled with styled shoots, collaborations with great vendors, new designs, open houses, lots of shows, hundreds of brides and more cardstock than I even want to count. So, without further words…I’ll let the photos speak for themselves.  Can’t wait for 2012!

Signs, Signs, Everywhere Signs…

It seems to me that signs, banners and props have become so popular and personally, I love them! They are perfect for wedding photos, engagement shots and just having fun! I’ve been asked Oh So Pretty Props (website launch coming soon) to create some exclusive designs just for them. So, I thought it would be fun to revisit some of the items I’ve created in the past! Enjoy!

Stop by Sunday :: Success!

Sunday’s event :: Stop by Sunday :: was most definitely a success!  We had so many brides, their families, vendors and friends pop in to say hi!  At one point, we were handing out sample program fans to cool everyone down!  Needless to say, we had a phenomenal time and thank all of our featured vendors, along with our swag bag vendors too.  I’ve heard so many wonderful comments over the past few days about the event.  And, I’m thinking there might be a Stop by Sunday II in the works soon! 

For those of you who didn’t get to stop by or if you just wanted to see photos of everything from the event, here are some great shots from Elizabeth Ryan Photography.   And, again, thanks to all!!!
