We’ve just finished up our first-ever invitation suite printed on black Stonehenge paper in metallic inks for a couple who are real-life friends of ours (and Mississippians too!) Their wedding will take place in Yazoo City, hometown of Willie Morris, who wrote  My Dog Skip. So there’s a little trivia for our non-southerner visitors!

Coming up in a few weeks will be the 50th anniversary celebration of Mississippi State’s foundation, and we’re tickled pink that they wanted Lucky Luxe to create something special just for the event. I’m an Ole Miss rebel through and through, but I was happy to be an honorary bulldog for this project.

We were so flattered when the Mississippi GOP commissioned a Bespoke invitation for the Republican National Convention reception being held at Disney World. Best of all, we were on the same page creatively, imagining an 1800s campaign design in a patriotic palette:

They don’t call it the Grand Old Party for nothing.

We got an amazing response to our job opening and actually found the perfect fit for Lucky Luxe right next door. Brooke Davis will be our new client coordinator and business manager, and she happens to be my 2-doors down neighbor. She’s a newlywed with a background in advertising copywriting and photography, and I’m super excited for all you sweet clients to get to know her in the order process. You’re going to love her. I mean, she played Dorothy in our city theatre’s production of The Wizard of Oz last summer, so she’s got to be darling!

She’ll be ready to help you place orders by mid-July.  Y’all give Brooke a warm welcome!

I am so sad to share with y’all that Annalee, the glue of Lucky Luxe that makes everything run smoothly, is going to be starting a job teaching senior high English and drama starting this August.

Her mama is the best English teacher on earth, so she got the teaching bug honest, but this means we’ll be interviewing folks to be her apprentice in July, then taking over her position as client coordinator and business manager in August when school begins.

Over on  Style Me Pretty  today, you can see Milessa & Jed’s gorgeous travel-themed wedding featuring pieces from and inspired by the  Hemingway  invitation suite. Working with them was fascinating! Milessa travels constantly for work, and Jed, an infielder for the Boston Red Sox, is also traveling the world on a daily basis, and they wanted to find a way to incorporate that very important element into the story of their courtship and love. Doesn’t it just remind you of the Great Gatsby a little bit?
