Congratulations Ricki and Andy!

We are so excited to share these gorgeous photos with you.  Thank you to Brooke Mayo with Brooke Mayo Photography for her amazing talent! 

Ricki and Andy were wed on the sandy shores of Outer Banks, North Carolina.  We were thrilled and honored to be able to create our popular Starfish Wedding Invitations for this coastal Bride and Groom.

Their invitation is set in a natural white linen pocketfold, and includes a coordinating RSVP card, Ceremony & Reception card, and an Information card.  The invitation is wrapped with natural raffia and embellished with a natural starfish for that true coastal connection.  The pocketfold is secured with a layered seal introducing the custom wedding logo we designed to coordinate with her theme.  Extra logos were printed and used throughout her reception as added decoration. 

What a fabulous event! We hosted our first Holiday Party in celebration and gratitude of a wonderful 2008. We couldn’t think of a better way to thank all of the amazing vendors we work with every year than to gather everyone together for an evening of holiday cheer and merriment! The party was a huge success: the perfect wrap-up of 2008 and kick-off to 2009!

Many Many Thanks to Concept Bait for the decorations. Your chandeliers were jaw-droppingingly blingtastic! Kudos to Grymes Cannon and Angele Steece for the gorgeous floral arrangements. Your attention to detail was obvious from the first strategically placed lily to the last delicately draped crystal. We were able to keep all of the florals fresh for the week following the party, and they made for two amazingly beautiful window displays! I am ecstatic with thanks and praise to the “Two Laurens” at Catering by Design. EVERYONE was commenting and praising the delectables all night! From the coconut saffron shrimp spoons to the late night, extra big chocolate chip cookies - butler passed! - everything was delicious! Thank you to IM Events for the ice luge and custom BLING! To Josh with Inspire, I can’t thank you enough for providing the perfect collection of “liquid lounge” starters and ultimate dance tunes. Everyone had such a great time dancing and enjoying the atmosphere you helped create. Thank you so much! And, of course, thank you to Gina of Gina Leigh Photography for offering to mix work and play. Your pictures are, as always, the perfect reflection of what a great time we all had together. Many thanks!

Our blog is live!  Yippeeee!!

We will be using this forum to keep you up to date with Paper Presence’s newest designs, creative projects and unique stationery and gifts available in our studio.

We’ll also share some helpful tips and answer some of the questions we’re asked most often.  In fact, here’s one we received today (and many times before)…

Question: “We’ve visited several locations that claim to offer “custom” invitations only to find out that our selections must come out of one their albums, and only certain pieces were actually customizable.  How “custom” are you?”

Answer:  Totally, 100% custom.  At Paper Presence, we believe you should be able to send more than just ink and paper to your guests.  You should be able to send a little piece of you – your inspiration, your personality.  So, we offer hundreds of styles of papers, embellishments, fabrics, fonts…you get the idea.  We’ve even created invitations mounted to matchsticks…see for yourself below.  J 

So, please know that when you visit us, we will not sit you in a room in the back of our studio with ten albums and no one to answer your questions.  We’re here for you – one on one – to ensure that your invitations are as unique as you dream them to be.

See you again soon!
