Bernhardt for Martha Stewart Weddings

The wait is finally over! We’re so excited to finally introduce the newest members of the Lucky Luxe design collection— the Bernhardt invitation and the Peacock save-the-date, both featured in the fall 2014 issue of Martha Stewart Weddings.

In October 2013, the magazine contacted us to commission an art nouveau inspired invitation for a story on invitation designs by decade. The seeds for this design were planted with Muse, our art nouveau invitation predecessor. I so enjoyed exploring the ethereal aesthetic of that period and stepping back from the geometric glamour of the 1920s that brides have been loving for the last couple of years. I’m not a very sharp-edged kind of designer typically and so I tend to agree with Marion Cotillard’s enchanting character from Midnight in Paris, who longs to be part of the Belle Époque, a time period she never got to experience in person. Anyway, Bernhardt is here now, and I hope she inspires your wedding in the same way she inspired my psyche when we were creating the design.

Anne & Josh in Martha Stewart Weddings!

While designing a Bespoke suite for Anne & Josh, we became fast friends and before long conversations turned from invitations to recipes and weekend plans. Last November, Ben and I got the chance to meet the Lustyans while we were in New York for our anniversary and it turns out they’re even sweeter people than we ever imagined.

This is hands-down one of our favorite weddings in the Lucky Luxe portfolio, and maybe it’s because we’ve seen with our own eyes how kind and loving Anne and Josh are. We’re so proud to be credited as their stationer in the article about their wedding hitting newsstands October 3! Here’s a sneak preview of their Turks & Caicos wedding and message in a bottle themed suite:

Pick up a copy of it! I know there’s going to be more inspiration on its pages than you can shake a stick at. You can also read all about the wedding on the Martha Stewart Weddings website on Friday, September 30.
