Congrats Jenna and Joe!

Jenna and Joe are getting married tomorrow, September 26th and we can not be happier for them! We are so thankful that this cute couple let us be a part of their wedding day! Jenna and Joe's wedding colors were red and black and they wanted a modern, elegant design to compliment their decor. Jenna was such a great client! She is a traditional bride with a funky side and we wanted to bring a little of her sparkling personality through in her custom pocket invites.

Printed on shimmering cream stock and accented with red graphics, these invites are sophisticated and classic . Each pocket folder has three information cards: Directions, Reception, RSVP. The front of each packet is sealed with a custom monogram sticker.

Here are some assembly photos. Their order also included Thank You Cards and printed monogram cards that Jenna used for table numbers and menu cards.

We hope your wedding day is full of fun and we wish you all the best.
Cheers! To Jenna and Joe!

Photo Guest Book!

I just got my new photo guest book and I was so excited I just had to blog about it :) It's so perfect!

Ok, so you're probably wanting some background so here we go: I wanted to do a photo guest book because I just thought the idea made the whole guest book concept more personal and it can also be designed to match the theme of the event. So I set out to find a good vendor/easy program in order to get my photo guest book for my wedding. I found one I liked and got designing!

There a many options to choose from but I decided on an image wrap cover on premium paper stock. There are 20 pages with alternating photo and blank pages for people to sign/leave a message.

I can't wait to have this special keepsake for years to come. It's going to be a wonderful way to look back on our wedding and our past :) Hope you enjoyed! If you want to add a photo guest book to your custom event order, just email us at: info@2hearts1design.com

We'd love to make a special photo guest book for you too.

Yeah! Amanda and Tim!

Happy 4th of July everyone! Well, happy Monday after, we are a little late on this post. Sorry for the hiatus, but 2hearts has been busy! We aren't complaining though :) Anyway, this weekend was a very special wedding, the Orth wedding! Amanda and Tim are great friends of ours and we wanted to Congratulate them and also thank them for letting us help make their day special. What a great wedding and beautiful weekend it was. It's not often that we get to see the end result of our work, but since Amanda and Tim are friends we got to be at the wedding. Here's the compilation of all the wonderful stationary this couple inspired us to make:

This design was so fun and fit perfectly with the robbin's egg blue bridesmaids dresses and white box centerpieces. We hope everyone enjoyed the festivities of the holiday weekend. Good luck and happy honeymoon Amanda and Tim! Here's the first glimps of the newlyweds:
