I never thought this day would come!  Now let me clarify, I knew that someday my beautiful niece would find her perfect match, however it's the end of planning this wedding I thought would never come.   It doesn't matter how many years or experience you have in the industry, when it comes to working with family the expectations and pressures we put on ourselves are ridiculous.  I'm so happy and fortunate that I was able to share these past 18 months of planning with Nancy.  She's grown up to be such an amazing and beautiful person from the inside out. 

It is always a pleasure working with the ladies of EU, and this time it was no different.  As many of you may know I have a love for all things PAPER!  I first approached EU with the idea of creating three different concepts using Envelopments as the basis for our themes.  I find that a lot of the times my brides get so caught up in having to have a specific "theme" for their wedding that they forget how to simply enjoy the process. 

The wonderful thing about working with Envelopment products is that you can create your entire color concept and even wedding theme with a card stock pattern.  From the design of your tables to the details on the cake.  This photo shoot was challenging but so rewarding.  It allowed me to work with some great vendors and show couples out there how to pull together an entire design using paper as your inspiration.

This photo shoot was published in the latest issue of Utterly Engaged's online magazine. Please check out the inspirational, creative, and original work below! To read the entire article and Issue #13, please click here.
