It’s been an exciting week here at Lucky! Since we have made our new home on the web, The Inspired Bride featured a sweet entry on some of the customizable collection. If you’ve not yet stumbled upon Abby’s beautiful blog, check it out. She has such an amazing eye for style.

Exciting news! The brand new Lucky Luxe website is set to launch today or tomorrow, so if you hit your bookmark and it doesn’t bring you here, not to worry – just click ‘blog’ on the home page. Thanks for all your support and sweet words over the last year!

I think if I write it down in public so I count be held accountable, I am really going to finish designing the brand new website for Lucky-Luxe.com. The blog will still exist, but it won’t be the real deal website (good news for me since I am a pitiful excuse for a blogger). In the mean time, I would love any suggestions for features you’d like to see on my website. Until next time…

I was super excited today when one of my newest New York brides-to-be sent me articles from Well Wed in New York, Well Wed in the Hamptons and Weddings Unveiled featuring little blurbs about Lucky Luxe! This was a very pleasant surprise on a somewhat crummy Tuesday, so thanks Beth! 🙂

Today’s post is in honor of the upcoming season, the best season of all, autumn! I am so ready for the day I get to pull my favorite old cowboy boots and purple coat out of hibernation… One of my fabulous brides is getting married this November (it will be my own 1-year anniversary. I can’t believe it!) and because she and her groom have a special affinity for all things outdoorsy and organic, I created the Orchard Collection as an option. Is there anything more autumnal than an apple? Candied apples, apple pies, apple cider, caramel apples… I could go on and on. The inks on these invites are a deep Macintosh red with metallic gold. I’d like to see the invites wrapped in twine and sealed with a red wax stamp and tucked into a kraft paper envelope. What are your thoughts?

Here is the final piece I’ll be posting from my cousin Jim and college roommate Mallorie’s wedding paper suite, a vintage postcard rehearsal invitation. The amazing photo is by Gulfportraits Photography based in Gulfport, Mississippi. I just loved the expansive sky and movie-quality kiss.. I’m so excited their wedding day is so soon!

Although this one was customized for my sweet bride, Margaret and her fiance, Charles, I love this new vintage postcard design so much it will become a standard offering when I FINALLY establish a package catalog. It’s in the same family as Gill & Nate’s ski postcard, as you can see… There’s just something so romantic about a silhouette.

What do you think?

The first thing Mallorie said when she saw their engagement party invites was: “I like it. It’s FESTIVE!” Hopefully, guests will be excited to attend this little fiesta my brother and his wife are hosting too when this postcard arrives in the mail. I’m crazy about worn, weathered and painted textures but it’s not an area I get to dabble in much with my stationery endeavours. This was just a fun afternoon project so I thought I would let it reflect the style of the city signs I also create:

Stay tuned for a formal/New England/ski themed wedding!

Ben and I were really excited to find an entry about our wedding on the Martha Stewart Weddings blog this morning. Take a look-see if you’d like to read all about the creative process and details of our own wedding that took place in November of last year.

I’m excited to introduce my readers to Lucky Luxe’s newest service – print-at-home packages and pricing. Our penny-pinchers deserve beautiful design too! By going this route, you can purchase a high-resolution, custom designed invitation for printing at home. In the coming weeks and months, I’ll be establishing a ready-made collection with new pricing and a new catalog. For now, here’s the pricing guide for print-at-home designs. Keep checking in!
