Ellie & Sam's Wedding Suite
Taylor Swift lyrics immediately pop into my head when I think of this precious couple… “Hold on to the memories, they will hold on to you.” I have such fond memories of creating a bespoke suite for Ellie and Sam. Truly, they were a dream couple of mine: their moody wedding vibes, aesthetics, and color palette had me drooling from the beginning. But more importantly, their laid back and trusting personalities made this such a fun process for me. I don’t think I’ll ever forget this one. Long Live.

This venue is stunning with its European architectural barn, glass Conservatory, stone structures, and ivy growing to the heavens. This venue has so much to offer for its Oklahoma couples!

How do I love February? Let me count the ways.
This might be an unpopular opinion, but I think February is a beautiful time to have a wedding. With the obvious celebration of Valentines Day… chocolates, flowers, love notes abound. But here in Kansas, did you know that this time of year tends to be slower most most of your local vendors? Venues and photographers often discuss booking on other days during the week aside from the popular Friday and Saturday. Oftentimes, they offer special discount rates for booking on weekdays. But booking in the “off-season” or the non-typical wedding months can truly be to your benefit as well! Do you have a dream videographer or venue you’ve had your heart set on? Scheduling your wedding in the off-wedding season can result in capturing the vendors you love to your heart’s content!
For stationers, the first of the year starts our busy season, and it doesn’t let up until mid-December. We’re working near year-round on mailing Save the Dates, Invitations suites, and day-of wedding paperié and signage. But I will tell you, I have discovered a pattern in my habits after 10-plus years of creating for the wedding industry. My artist’s finger is itching to paint, create, and design… inspired by the break after the holidays, renewal of the year, and love floating in the air. I find that if you are having a Summer or Fall wedding, now is a great time to start thinking about your wedding stationery! You can inquire directly on my website.
So, if I haven’t sold you on the logical reasons of why you might consider a wedding in February, how about you let me win your heart over with some wedding inspiration––a styled shoot themed around the beautiful warm, golden tones of Winter in Kansas, combined with the sweet and sophisticated pinks, peaches, and corals without being overtly feminine.

“When vendors team up like they did this past weekend for our 2023 Styled Shoot and Vendor Showcase, pure magic happens. It’s the same magic that happens when you have a team like this behind the scenes for your wedding day. Highlighting their work is one of our favorite things to do!! Bel Amour Events knocked this out of the park. Free State Flora does nothing short of excellence with flowers. Emilime Designs adds the touches and details with her artistry that leaves people talking. Wichita Event Rentals and Something Borrowed Kansas provides the pieces that bring it all together. Buckingham Cakes creates a wow factor every single time. Glam + Co Salon and Brielynn Wallace made our 3 bride models stunning!And GAH! look at those Bella Veil Bridal dresses! And then The Cantrells and The Axmanns captured it all in a way that has left us with little words to describe it. The bottom line is…your day cannot and will not fail when you build a solid vendor team behind it. And when it’s people who desire to serve you with their whole hearts, it becomes TRULY the best day of your life. You get to focus on your marriage and celebration that’s unfolding, and your team takes care of the rest.”
Oakwood Country Club Styled Shoot - Kansas City
photo by Elle Marie Photography
I was honored when Leila of Elle Marie Photography reached out to me about being a part of this beautiful European-aesthetic styled shoot in Kansas City at the Oakwood Country Club. This venue is gorgeous with its arched architecture, dark woodwork, and vintage decor. Can we also just pause for a moment to appreciate that gorgeous piano?
For the stationery suite, I was inspired by the idea of a bride and groom gifting something sentimental to their guests before their wedding day. And what's not sweeter than giving the gift of flower seeds for their guests to grow in their own gardens, carrying on the theme of the beautiful garden style wedding with other thoughtful touches. The invitation was housed in a beautiful white wooden box lined with a blue-striped print, and included a vial of Forget-Me-Not seeds and a plant marker. The details card reads as follows, “Andrew gave Victoria a bouquet of Forget-Me-Notes picked from his mother’s harden for their first date. We pray you will think of us as they bloom.” At the reception, guests also received a bespoke painting of loose florals (all coordinating with the invitation suite) on a 5x7 canvas as a favor to take home that day. This shoot was all about those perfect tiny details to make guests feel loved.

During this one-and-a-half hour class, Emilee will share all of her tips and tricks for writing using the faux-ligraphy method, which means “writing pretty without using a fancy calligraphy dip pen.” She will show you how to address cards and envelopes (perfect for the holiday seasons coming upon us); write on chalkboards and other unique surfaces, and talk about her favorite supplies (some of which you may already have right in your office drawer at home). She also includes a workbook with step-by-step how-to’s and several different types of lettering styles (from fun to vintage to elegant)! Your kit (which is included in your ticket price) will also include some of her favorite writing tools and materials. If you have a favorite pen, pencil, or marker of your own, feel free to bring it along! And if you have some thank-you cards to write or want to get a jump start on addressing envelopes for Christmas cards, feel free to bring along your supplies for that! You’ll get a chance to play, write and get Emilee’s instructional feedback. No fancy-lettering or artistic experience needed; great for all ages (ages 9-99)!
Tickets include a kit & supplies, and light refreshments. Tickets are nonrefundable, but transferable to someone else if you are unable to attend (please contact the shop or Emilee if you know ahead of time you will not be able to join and will be sending someone else in your place). Please arrive 10-15 minutes early to get situated and setup for class; we will start right on time
Watercolor Illustration of the Barn at Grace Hill
I had the honor to watercolor paint the The Barn at Grace Hill and print some notecards for them as well. I know I say this all the time, but this may have been my favorite watercolor project to date. I’m so grateful for the Balzers and the support and growth they have brought to my business. I don’t think I could ever fully repay them for their hospitality, generosity, and encouragement, but this painting and the cards were a project of love for them to try and say just that.
I also had the opportunity to create their line illustration of the barn that is on their infamous bar chalkboard.
But I wanted this piece to feature a straight-on angle and capture the Kansas colors and beautiful golden tones of their property. I used my favorite Winsor & Newton and Daniel Smith watercolor paints, along with my Princeton Heritage watercolor brushes to paint this piece. After it was finished and dried, I scanned the piece, and edited it slightly in Illustrator to bring out the details that were lost in the scanning process, and then printed them on size A2 notecards for the Balzers.
The other great benefit to scanning watercolor pieces and digitizing them, is now I’ll be able to use it for future B@GH stationery clients. Are there any B@GH brides that want to use this hand-painted illustration as an envelope liner or invitation backing with my invitation suite offerings? I’m pretty sure it would be lovely. ☺️
