Thoughtful Day in Martha Stewart Weddings!

I've been waiting for well over a year now to show these invites I designed for my good friends, Jenna & Jon. Jenna of Love Jenna Calligraphy, and I went to art school way back and have known each other for 10 years! As you can imagine, I was beyond honored when they asked me to design their invitation suite. Being the creative couple they are, Jenna sent me tons of beautiful inspiration, ranging from images of Marie Antoinette to photos of Coney Island. Jon, a very talented copy writer, wrote all of the copy throughout the suite.

I know Jenna pretty well, so when she approached me, I knew there had to be layers and layers of stuff to make up the package. I hunted far & wide for the candy striped bags way back, which thankfully are easier to come by now. Custom designed tickets were then wrapped around the bags, tied by gold cord. All of the illustrations throughout the suite were illustrated by Thoughtful Day. We don't use clip art around here for custom invites! Not only are these invites super fun, but they were printed with some of the finest methods available - Gold foil stamping combined with pink Letterpress all backed with vintage wallpaper. It's hard to get more luxurious (and awesome) than that when it comes to an invitation suite. Needless to say, Jenna & Jon were the dream clients!

And to top it all off, the invitations made their way into the current Martha Stewart Weddings out on stands now. Wait until you see all of the photos of Jenna & Jon's wedding. It was absolutely fabulous & full of love, and I'll be forever grateful that Thoughtful Day was asked to be a part of it.


100 Layer Cake will be posting more photos of Jenna & Jon's wedding the rest of the week, wait until you see all of the details!

A Modern Take on Old Love

I love this photo of Philippe Starck and his wife Jasmine (top photo) from The Selby. I don't know the back story but I'm guessing they recreated the pose from what appears to be his parent's wedding day - he looks a lot like his dad, right?

Thoughtful Day updated!

Hello! How I've miss you all!

Well, there are a few things I'd like to quickly stop in to say....I finally updated my website Thoughtful Day showing some of the projects I've worked on in the last 8 months. Please visit my site for lots more photos and projects! I hope you like what I've been up to....

I had an amazing photo shoot with the super talented Jenny Ebert of 1. Art Beauty Life. Jenny was the consummate professional and truly did an amazing job. I couldn't be happier with the results and I have to say, having a professional photographer shoot everything was BEYOND worth it. All of the styling was done by Anne Le Geurn. Do you remember her sweet illustrations I posted about a while ago? Yes, the girl is one talented little lady! Barb of Hatch Creative generously let us have the photoshoot at her amazing loft space called the Nest Event Loft, which you can rent for events. It is an incredible loft located in the Flatiron District - corner building with views beyond your dreams.

Thank you so much ladies!

So, we finally finished the renovations - over 3.5 mths. Stressful, and fun and beyond worth it. I feel so blessed and lucky that I get to call this our family home. I could just pinch myself. I can't wait to share some of the stories, trials and tribulations, and last but not least photos. It was an incredible experience and I'm beyond thankful for it. But I'm still knee deep in boxes and have a ways to go before I can sit down and write and post about everything. So until then, I'll be back to blogging about some of my favorite things and I hope to show you photos over the next couple of months.

Thanks for all of the sweet comments throughout my break - you guys are the best!
