Bloom Favorite- Birthday Parties

(Click on image to enlarge)

When I was searching around for some Turtle Party Inspiration, I came across so many creative and exciting birthday party themes. It made me want to plan Claire's 1st birthday today! However, I must restrain myself, being as we still have 9 months until that party rolls around. But how cute are these ideas! The color palettes are all so vibrant, the details are fabulous, and the kids -- absolutely adorable. Cupcakes are in right now with cupcake toppers galore. Ribbons, streamers, favors. Its amazing what talented and creative people can do when throwing such beautiful parties for their kids. Think of all the print related items you we could create together for your child's next party!

Grady's 1st Birthday!

Our neighbors and friends asked me to create a Turtle themed 1st Birthday Party Invitation for them. Their son Grady has often been seen wearing a shirt that has a graphic turtle on it that says Speedy. I used this turtle for inspiration, as well as a simple, bright, layout and color scheme.

Kim and David's Save The Dates

Kim and David have asked Bloom to design their Save The Dates, Wedding Invitations and possibly more pieces for their big day this September. Their colors are Ivory, Black and Sage Green. These are printed on Neutral White Classic Crest 80# Cover in the postcard format to save postage. You'll have to check back to see their wedding invitations later this year, but here are the Save The Dates!

Bridal Shower/Bachelorette Party Invitations

This is my first finished project since having been on maternity leave. This client wanted two invitations that matched so that she could send the bridal shower invitation to all of her guests and then a bachelorette party invitation in the same envelope to some of the guests. Her keywords were blue and girly. Let me know what you think, I'm pretty happy with how they turned out.

All personal information and locations have been blurred per the clients request.

Back to work...

We had a beautiful little girl born on December 14th and since then I've been devoted to being MOM. I still am devoted to being Mom, but after a few requests for cards and invitations, I'm back working -- at least part time and upon request. I hope to share these upcoming and current projects with you soon.

Bloom Favorite- Print Possibilities

It seems these days that print designs have become a great way to make a complete wedding experience more cohesive. Its a great way to tie everything together, from the Save The Date several months in advance to favor tags for the gifts your guests will take home with them. Below are a few integrated design ideas. Using the same fonts, colors, logo or monogram, the overall feeling of the wedding can carry through every aspect. Share some of your ideas on how print can be used or how you plan to use it in your upcoming wedding!
