Magnet Street Weddings Blogger contest for charity

I was recently asked to take part in MagnetStreet Weddings design contest for bloggers.  Essentially, we take one of their existing designs, tweak it however we’d like, and whoever wins gets $1000 towards their favorite charity!  I couldnt pass that up, right?  The design I chose was one of their more modern ones, and I gave it the ole Brooklyn Bride makeover in my favorite colors.  If you like it [and I hope you do], please vote for me by clicking the image below!

Happy belated third birthday to Brooklyn Bride! I am amazed on a daily basis how much Vané packs into this blog while staying on top of the fabulous events she puts together. Hope you are all having a good start to your week so far. For this week’s post, I took some snapshots around Urbanic of some of my favorite invitation sets we have been working on lately.

above collections include – Hollis by Dauphine • Helaini, Rhon and Lashar by Smock • Creme Brulee and Salon by Elum • and Hollie by Spark

Parcel Post for Brooklyn Bride [no.18]

We recently re-launched Cupcake Saturdays at Urbanic and gave out tickets for people to come in and have a cupcake on us for our opening day. Our tickets had to be adorable of course, so we gathered our inspiration from Mae Mae Paperie. Megan Gonzalez is one of the talented designers we work with at the shop. I’m a big fan of her creative aesthetic and thought you would all appreciate this “ticket” save the date set she designed.

Minted challenge

I’m judging the latest Minted Design Challenge with the ladies of 100LC for kickass for breakout wedding invitations.  With over 500 entries, I’ve picked my favorites here, but need some help narrowing it down to 1. I was looking for interesting layouts, clever takes on traditional invites, quirky details, and ultimately for an invitation that I wouldn’t mind using myself.  It looks like I’ve got a major affinity towards “+” signs rather than “&”!!  Which out of these are your favs? above: Better Together

I loved Simple Striped (thought I’d love to see it in something other than pink…green perhaps?) and the modernity of Green Love.

The layout of this invite was very appealing to me because its something you don’t see all the time.  above: Mr. & Mrs.

I loved the simplicity of Love Struck, and the modern interpretation of traditional Dutch designs in Folk Frame.

This one was completely clever and just made me smile!
