Angela + Jake | wedding invitations

I now pronounce them husband and wife, therefore, I will publish their wedding invitations to the webs!

Jake is my cousin, and I offered to create their wedding invites the day he proposed to Angela ... okay maybe that is an exaggeration, but it was a while ago. Lucky for me, they said yes! They are a super fun couple so I knew that I would have a lot of creative freedom with the design. Jake is from the Seattle area, and Angela, well she's from everywhere. When I asked them what they were going for with the theme of their wedding they said: Seattle, fun and pink (that was more Angela than Jake, you may have guessed that). They were married on Sunday, July 3rd in Georgetown (a super hip part of South Seattle).

I wish them the best in their marriage and I am so happy I was able to be apart of it. Cheers to the bride and groom!

Happy 4th!

To quote Katy Perry, come on, let your colors burst! Happy 4th everybody!

Welcome to my favorite holiday EVER! I would love to say that it's due to our nations independence, but I have to admit, it's less about that and more about the events of the day. I always find myself surrounded by my favorite people, eating great food and laughing into the night while watching fireworks. Enjoy the day, you know I will be :)

Friday Fun Day // Happy Almost 4th!

Is it Friday again?!? Yes, yes it is! Woot! What's everyone got planned this weekend? Hey Independence Day, I see you!

I'm headed back to Eastern Washington to sun myself, followed by a river rafting trip down the Wenatchee, followed by some printing (yes, I do work, not just travel), followed by celebrating my cousin and his marriage (which means that I can finally show you his awesome invites on Tuesday!), then followed by a day trip to Vashon Island to celebrate my favorite holiday ever, the 4th! I love fireworks, like a lot. This 4th will be bitter-sweet though, the party will double as a farewell party to my bestie Eva who is moving in three weeks, tear.

Have a great weekend everybody, see you Monday (sort of)!
