Sometimes you have those clients that are just a dream to work with, and Melissa and Nick were no exception! Their lovely wedding was featured on SMP last week but we’ve been too busy to share, so make your way over and have a peek at the gorgeous photos of their perfect day coordinated by our talented planner friend Adrianne Elizabeth.
Best wishes to Mr. and Mrs. Braun on a beautiful life together!
So happy to have worked with awesome new clients ReDress on their new look!
These Wardrobe Stylists based in Columbus, Ohio are on top of their game when it comes to anything fashion related. They wanted a logo that was clean, feminine and pretty, with a little dash of preppy mixed in.
I couldn’t be happier to introduce the newest member of our little studio—Polly the Printing Press! After months of research on the process of letterpress, and countless hours unearthing and ordering all the right pieces and parts for this old press (isn’t she a beauty!) I bought on a trip to Chicago last month from a man’s garage in Indy (thanks to my husband for helping me negotiate a fair deal and haul the thing home), Ink & Ivory is now going to be offering letterpress! And we couldn’t be more excited to get some ink on our hands!
Getting in the Christmas spirit. Here’s a little advent calendar I put up in our kitchen with treats for the hubs.
I am bouncing off the walls with excitement today, it feels like Christmas in April! Our wedding was featured!

Here’s a little about our day:
Our story started in high school where we fell madly in lust and dated for a couple of years. We decided to go our separate ways duringcollege, I moved to New York and he moved to Florida and we lost contact for few years. Long story short, somehow via electronic media, we rekindled our old romance, this time with a little more maturity and experience under our belts, and a long distance between us. We flew back and forth frequently visiting each other and decided after a long year of being so far apart, that we’d move back to Ohio where we had both grown up. We bought a house and renovated it while living in it, and we both realized, if two people can make that work, they can make it through anything. So one sunny day Nate proposed over a game of scrabble, on a picnic, near a fountain, in our favorite park. He had picked the letters “marry me” out ahead of time and put them in his pocket and when I was looking away, arranged them on the board, with ring in hand. I cried for 20 minutes. Happy tears I will never forget.
I’ve been swamped lately with a capital “S” and haven’t had a chance to post often but I thought it might be interesting to show what I proposed to clients Rachel and Dan for their literary-themed wedding invite a couple of months ago, and how it turned out!
Here was the proposed concept:
-faux bois cover
-deckle-edge cotton paper
-monogram seal
-hand-sewn together with off-white string
-library pocket and library card for the reply postcard attached to the back inside cover
And here’s what the finished invites looked like:
I recently did some work for The Farm on Kenyon Road owned by the Laymon family in Mt. Vernon, Ohio. I worked with Chrissie (the mom, wife, operator of the whole shebang, who wears many hats) to come up with a rustic logo that was representative of the organic nature of the work they are doing, with a little touch of modern, which is right up my alley. They about “dirty hands, warm hearts and open minds. Encouraging a strong work ethic, respect for the environment and the power of community in the next generation. The Farm brings all natural, grass fed, and sustainably grown products straight from our land to your table.”
Here are some of the logo options we started out with:
I’m excited to see what’s in store at The Farm in the coming months! Check them out for yourself here!
Congrats and keep up the good work!
When the talented husband and wife duo from Love Is a Big Deal reached out to me last month to ask about using some of my b. Poetic headpieces for their winter themed wedding shoot, I eagerly offered to do the paper suite for the shoot too!
The amazing photos were featured on Green Wedding Shoes here yesterday!
I’m off to do a little holiday partying and spend some much needed time with my family. Happiest Holidays to you and yours!
Its been a year full of growing and life changes for my friends and I as I stood up with one best friend as she married her love from our college days, I married my high school love, other friends getting engaged and buying houses, and one friend who has had a really difficult couple of years, getting pregnant. I could not be happier for all of my friends but the last, I feel is so particularly deserving of happiness at this moment in her life that I cannot express how excited I was when she told me she was having a baby. Helping to host the baby shower, and then holding this tiny little miracle for the first time in the hospital, it was all so magical. Ginna Lee and I have been friends since we were in diapers, so I am honored to have been a part of it all, downs and incredible ups like this moment.
So when she asked me to take some photos of little Reagan I was of course, over-the-moon with excitement! Here she is, in all of her perfect, gorgeous splendor!
