Currently my favorite inspiration is Sophia Coppola's visual masterpiece, Marie Antoinette.
From the oh so fabulous clothes, to the decor in the rooms, and that scene where she is surrounded by sweet things! The macaroons above are from Ladurée, the best macaroons ever! I am definitely creating an invitation suite inspired by this. Stay Tuned! I think it would be so fun to use this as inspiration for entire wedding, check out the florals and...READ MORE

Julia received her undergrad degree in art history, and both the bride...READ MORE

Bora Bora Box Inivitation
This bride was so much fun to work with. She knew she wanted something completely different and unforgettable. We started with cloth covered folders that held her save the date and a map of bora bora. For her invitations we then custom boxes made with their name stamped on them.
