Remember, Jenna, the phenomenal calligrapher...and bride-to-be? Well, she has friends in high places, that she has shared her wedding theme & gown inspirations with. Here's a sneak peek. I adore the not-to-girly but oh-so feminine pink colour theme that is subtly laced throughout. And who said that you can't have fun with serious subject matter? From the whimsical carnival theme {tickets, balloons, hand dipped soft ice cream, juggler & cotton candy} to the sweet sensational delights {of tulle, candy, ribbons, polka dots, lace & pearls} this event promises to have lots of light-hearted fun...the Grown & Sexy way!!!

I am soooo there!!

Not for the {Font} of heart...

The invitation sets the mood for the entire wedding.... This is sooo very true. The style, colour, texture, lettering and righ down to the design that you choose, gives your guest a hint of what is to come. This being true, the {luv}-ly stationery above will have your guest drooling in anticipation of the elegantly grande affair that you have planned for them. Calligrapher and bride-to-be, Jenna, is the phenom behind the hand scripted artistry of this stationery jewels. Her style is big, bold, daring and visually pleasing.

With all of the lettering & printing options available to bedeck your stationery needs, try something 'old school' for a very new and refreshing look.

{Wed}iquette... Late RSVP's...

Q. It's three weeks before the wedding and several guests still haven't RSVP'd! What should we do? Every couple has faced this dilemna when trying to firm up the numbers for their Vendors? How many times have you and your fiance' asked yourself...'why is it so difficult for our beloved guests to throw that darn {self addressed} envelope into the mail?... Perhaps the article below will help with helping you to, finally, resolve this age old, social dilemna. And if all else fails, perhaps Julia and Jonathon's whimsical approach will stir up your guests to respond...

A. The first obligation anyone has upon receiving a wedding invitation is to respond immediately, regardless of whether he or she can attend. At this late date you really have no choice but to telephone the would-be guests and ask whether they plan on coming.(Your fiancé, mother, future mother-in-law and some of your attendants can help you make the calls.) To ease the awkward nature of these conversations, be friendly and say something like, "Aunt Jenny, it's Sara. I hope you received our wedding invitation. We need to give our final numbers to the caterer this week, and I haven't received your response card, so I'm calling to ask if you and Uncle John plan on coming. We hope you're able to join us!" Just state your case matter-of-factly without laying blame. (Occasionally invitations and response cards are lost in the mail.) Whatever led to the lapse, your gracious manner will set a positive tone for the wedding{article via }
