Jessica & Jonathon’s Greek Mythos Invitation

Fresh from the printer, we’re featuring Jessica and Jonathon’s gorgeous Greek mythos-themed wedding invitation. They approached us with a very strong vision for a gatefold Parthenon-inspired design that would feel like the Greek gods themselves were inviting guests to their wedding day. An exciting concept, to say the least! I took a very classic approach to the design elements, using fine Continue Reading…

What “Vintage” Really Means

Melissa takes over the blog today for a style study on an often-used term. “Vintage” is probably one of the most popular style genres I am asked to create when a customer is interested in a custom design.

We realized early on that we weren’t just creating printed materials for events – we had the opportunity Continue Reading…

STARTING OUR BUSINESS My background is entirely creative, I don’t consider myself a business person. Sometimes I share with people how things Continue Reading…

RSVPlease!

  Is there anything more useless than the “Maybe” option on Facebook? Your guests might as well not respond at all. It’s bad enough when you’re planning a party of 20 friends, but multiply that by a factor of 5, 10, or more for a wedding, and today’s bride has some real challenges! Delayed, forgotten, Continue Reading…

DIY Doesn’t Mean Go It Alone!

There’s nothing like working on a DIY project. . . when it works, anyway. We’ve all experienced the Pinterest fail – the adorable Cookie Monster cake looks more like a blue Jabba the Hutt, the Mason jar chandelier becomes a flying moonshine buffet, and our artisinal hand-woven flower baskets burst apart into so much straw Continue Reading…

Big Changes for "Onelittlem"!

But we think now is the right time. Renaming a company is a challenging endeavor. In the beginning, I came up with Onelittlem because I thought the Continue Reading…
