Events } Lavish and Fabulous - Heavy Metal

Next up from the Lavish and Fabulous event held on November 11th Twenty Ten ... the Heavy Metal Vignette.

Think industrial meets Rock ‘N’ Roll! A touch of glamor, lots of metal and a wild dress makes this vignette ROCK!

Items created by SJD included an invitation, monogram, place cards and table card.

The front of the boxed invitation was finished off with a a pleated satin ribbon, studded leather and a heavy chain for a truly rocker inspired look. Inside, the invitation was mounted on layers of a vibrant purple, gunmetal gray and finished off with a transparent black text printed overlay.

The guitar place cards were fabricated by Fearon's {of Fearon May Events} family business, O'Hara Metal Products. I chained clear name plates to the metal guitars as to not distract from the appeal of the raw metal. Super-cool ... I think! And added a little leather strap to the napkin to finish off the look with a little more black.

Events } Lavish and Fabulous -All You Need Is Love Vignette

Remember that glam event I mentioned a week or so ago?? Pics are rolling in!!! First up ... the All You Need Is Love Vignette.

This space is inspired by the TV show Mad Men on AMC. The design for this room started with the daisy theme chandelier that was found at Ikea and really took over from there. Combining the fab era’s of the 50′s and 60′s and a twist of 2010 into one amazing retro chic vignette.

I had such a blast creating the invitation, menus, place cards, poster, dessert bar tags and hand-sewn fabric flower pom-poms for this spread!!!

The boxed invitation was hand-finished in a modern-yet-retro black and white fabric, inside was finished with a yellow and white polka-dot fabric with the paper part of the invitation in matte black and white. The front of the invitation was finished off with a thick black double-faced satin ribbon and a little yellow and white polka-dot fabric flower pom-pom.

The menu's were affixed to each one of the individual floral arrangements placed at each place setting. Fab idea from Katie with Ambience!

Place card - slash - snazzy soda-pop beverage! Oh, yeah. Super-cute floral fabric pom-poms were attached to each of the soda pop bottles in alternating black/white and yellow combinations. The actual little place card flag was attached to the vintage green and white paper straws. You know I am a huge fan of those little straws!!

Poster! What can I say? Measures 24x36 affixed to foamcore for stability on a matte bright white paper. I am such a fan of pop-art and this added just a little touch of whimsy to Rebecca's {with Sweet Cakes by Rebecca} aaaaamazing dessert bar. The dessert bar tags came out super cute too - I created those in alternating yellow/white and black/white to mix it all up a bit. Rebecca and I were emailing into the wee hours making sure no detail was overlooked - hello!! the couples monogram is even on the sugar cookies!!! Love.

My absolute favorite ... would have to be those little fabric flower pom-poms!! Soooo, much fun to make ... look for them soon in the SJD Shop!! We're planning on making 4 different sizes to choose from.

Events } Glitz and Glamour at Scribner Bend

Oh, where ... Oh, where has Stephanie J been? Oh, where ... Oh, where has she been? It has been forever since my last post. Busy, busy. Designing, printing, assembling and delivering orders that is what has been keeping us super-busy around here!

Good things, very good things. Soooo, many things in the works ... my head is spinning.

Wanted to share one of the fun projects I have been working on ... an exclusive wedding showcase at Scribner Bend Vineyards. Aptly titled, Glitz and Glamour! I was delightfully tasked with creating the invitation artwork and logo design for the big event and could not be more pleased with the outcome. It is soooo my style. Mairi, the event coordinator at Scribner let me do whatever I wanted with the art ... so long as I kept the color palette in theme ... black, gray, gold and white. Love it! Think it turned out ... simply yummy.

Events } Let Them Eat Cake! Table Papery

It truly is a labor of love the work I do with paper. The moments before falling asleep spent mulling over just the right colors, papers and embellishments, the hours designing choosing just the right illustrations & fonts and finally, the days spent assembling & embellishing are all worth it when they all collide perfectly.

I was super-excited when Rebecca { Sweet Cakes by Rebecca } asked me to be a part of her tablescape for Wish Bridal's Let Them Eat Cake! event in Sacramento, CA this past Sunday. The event was Marie Antoinette inspired and Rebecca's table took on a soft sparkly color palette of golds, blue, silver, ivory and white {hoping to snag some table pics soon!}.

Loving how the papery turned out! From the top: cake sampling tented table cards, die-cut candy buffet tags, dessert sampling mini-banners, cake name rolled parchments and a faux-framed vendor rolled parchment. Custom design, hand glittered text, Swarovski crystals, yummy metallic papers made for some super-sweet papery.

I can't think of a more deserving charity.  Shriners holds a very special place in my heart.  My nephew severely burned his hands when he was just over a year old.  Shriners heard about his case and offered any an all services needed to get him on the mend.  It was a long and painful process for the little guy and thanks to Shriners and all the wonderful doctors & nurses there he made a full and complete recovery.

If you're considering charitable contributions this year, this is definitely a deserving cause.  Visit lakesideluxury.blogspot.com for more information.
