Look of the Week from Jean M
We’re coming into that time of year when we start to see spring on the horizon. Just the thought of spring lifts the spirits after the gloom of winter!
So to lift your spirit, this week we’re featuring a fun and fresh scheme for a spring wedding – spring green and soft blush pink.
Look of the Week - Dramatic Damask
Starting with the save the date photo card, called Colorful Band. A great way to announce your wedding plans with color and style.
Our Dramatic Damask invitation is shown in fresh green. This invitation comes in a variety of inspiring colors to match any wedding theme. We added a blush pink ribbon and envelope for contrast. The additional pieces you’ll need for your response, reception and thank you cards are available to match.
At the ceremony, this Vintage Damask wedding program will coordinate beautifully, giving a cohesive look to carry through the color scheme.
At the reception, the splashes of blush pink on the napkins and favor boxes pull the whole concept together.

Jean M is ready for the 2012 color of the year: shades of orange!
When we found out that Pantone’s 2012 color of the year was a bright, orangey shade called Tangerine Tango – we were so happy. Why? Because we anticipated the trend so well that we already have lots of wedding invitations, favors, accessories and embellishments in orange to add a vivid touch to your wedding!
We put together an orange inspiration collage to give you a peek at what we have to offer you in the shade. Then start shopping our entire offering in orange to put your wedding on the spectrum!

Decorating ideas for your fall wedding or Halloween party
When you’re planning a fall wedding or Halloween party, decorations are going to be at the top of your to-do list. But when you want a more elegant, festive look rather than the usual spooky and creepy décor, how do you achieve it?
Go with traditional pumpkins — but add a twist with our fun pumpkin decorating ideas!
Make it a masquerade!
How to create this look:
• Slice of the bottom of the pumpkin. Clean out seeds and flesh using a spatula.
• Place a costume mask over the pumpkin and mark on the pumpkin where the eyes are.
• Cut eye holes using a pumpkin-carving tool.
• Put the mask back on the pumpkin, lining up the eye holes in the mask and the pumpkin.
• Light it up! Use a battery-operated votive, candle or small holiday lights inside the pumpkin.
Let the light shine through!
How to create this look:
• Slice of the bottom of the pumpkin. Clean out seeds and flesh using a spatula.
• Use a cordless drill and bit to drill one-inch or smaller holes all over the pumpkin, turning off the drill before removing it from the hole.
• Light it up! Use a battery-operated votive, candle or small holiday lights inside the pumpkin.
Here are a couple of tips for modern pumpkin carving:
• Instead of cutting a circle around the pumpkin stem, lifting off the top and then reaching in to clean the pumpkin, slice the bottom of the pumpkin off going straight across. It is easier to clean from the bottom (use a spatula) and gives the candle a flat surface to sit on.
• Depending on the surface, you may want to place the candle on a small trivet or candleholder.
• Use battery-operated votive candles from gift shops or small holiday light strands to illuminate your pumpkin.
Put it all together!
Arrange your creatively decorated pumpkins together with candles, gourds, mums in a variety of colors and other fall-theme items. (And if you can arrange for a little black cat, more power to you!)
Enjoy decorating!
Vintage-style wedding inspiration from Jean M
What’s old is new again – and vintage-style weddings are a hot topic! We love the idea of incorporating the look of well-worn, weathered items as well as vintage patterns, colors and styling into today’s weddings. It’s a sentimental, retro look that’s still modern and fresh when you add your personal touches.
We’ve come up with some great vintage wedding inspiration and wanted to share the ideas with you. How will you incorporate vintage style into your big day?
Jean M Vintage Wedding Inspiration
• Get married at a historic home, a bed and breakfast inn, or other location with vintage appeal.
• Decorate with simple flowers in weathered containers, vintage linens on tables and candles in rustic candle holders.
• Choose a dress that incorporates lace accents and vintage styling. Wear your mother’s veil for a sentimental touch, and add some family jewelry (your grandmother’s brooch or pearls, for instance) for a special touch.
• Dress your groom in a classic tuxedo with a bow tie.
• Carry simple flowers in a compact bouquet style reminiscent of vintage brides.
And don’t forget to invite guests with vintage-inspired wedding invitations from Jean M! We feature:
• (top right) White Layered Invitation with a Pocket – choose layout MD7 “Filigree Monogram” for an ornate, vintage look, and dress up the invitation with a pink bottom layer, grey pocket and pink rhinestones for a sweet touch.
• (bottom left) Dramatic Damask Pocket Invitation – select pewter for the color of the design and background and add a rhinestone for retro sparkle!
• (bottom right) Key to My Heart Invitation in Pewter – the vintage key design and the swirling filigree in the background sets a sentimental tone perfect for your wedding!
Enjoy the vintage inspiration!
