Jean M “hearts” hearts! You’ll LOVE these heart-inspired items for your wedding
Soon it will be February — the month of love! We were so inspired by the upcoming Valentine's Day holiday that we put together a beautiful collage of heart-themed and rich, red products perfect for a romantic wedding anytime of year. You'll fall in love with these items — guaranteed!
1. Carry a bold, beautiful all-red bouquet down the aisle. Your photographs will be stunning! Add in some dark red calla lilies among the roses for silky texture. (photo by Michael and Anna Costa Photography)
2. Come on, admit it: you've been doodling your initials and hearts for months now. Why not emblazon all your wedding items — like these pretty, square menu cards — with a monogram that shows how in love you are? We show monogram JM961.
3. Bright merlot-red, two-piece favor boxes personalized with a heart-accented monogram are unapologetically romantic. Add a gourmet chocolate inside and guests will fairly swoon!
4. Heart-shaped vases are perfect for displaying sweets at your candy buffet, or for setting on each table filled with hors d'oeuvres. And they make the most heart-felt gift, too.
5. They may be gone, but they'll always be in your heart. Honor the memories of your loved ones with a candle of flower arrangement in a meaningful "In Loving Memory" vase with a glass heart charm.
6. Adding little punches of bright red to your wedding will catch guests' eyes and lift their spirits. Red napkins with a fun, heart-themed monogram are just the thing. We show monogram JM957.
7. Set the scene by sending invitations designed with romance in mind. Our "Jade" invitation in black and cream paper with a red monogram and red ribbon and envelopes will make guests' hearts flutter.
8. Flirty favors will tickle guests' fancies. Red matchbooks printed with "Light My Fire," anyone?
9. Red satin ribbon will add richness and drama to all the elements of your wedding — invitations, decorations, gifts, favors, floral arrangements and more. Buy it in bulk on rolls for endless decorating.
10. A gift from the heart your bridesmaids will cherish: a silver-plated jewelry box with a heart design on the top. The best place for the best bling!
11. It's your day to shine — so don't be afraid to splurge on an extravagant element here and there, like a huge bouquet of red roses set with sparkling crystals. You'll remember it fondly, forever.
12. We offer so many ways to add a heart-felt touch to your entire wedding. Check out these fanciful, whimsical, romantic, classy and elegant monograms and designs perfect for printing on your invitations, programs, menu cards, place cards, napkins, favors and more! See all of our monogram and design options here.
Enjoy!

DIY your way to a gorgeous harvest-theme wedding!
Fall
is just around the corner, and we’re getting inspired for some DIY projects
you’ll “fall” in love with. They’re easy to create and will add the perfect
touches of warmth, color and beauty to your harvest-theme celebration.
1.
Adding rich colors right from the start — like with your wedding invitation
— will set the perfect tone for your warm and wonderful autumn wedding. Layer
espresso and cream papers and add not one, but TWO ribbons for a look that’s ultra-luxurious! Create this DIY look yourself with our blank
card stock
and ribbons, or order our Jean invitation printed and assemble it yourself for DIY fun without all the work!
2.
Spice paper mimics the fall foliage — especially when you add espresso ribbon and a pretty, gold leaf charm! These cute cards are easy to create yourself
with our blank card stock.
3.
Give your guests a warm and cozy treat to beat the autumn chill with glasses of
hot spiced cider. Dip the rims of flared cocktail glasses in sugar for a sweet touch, and float clove oranges for flavor. Don’t forget
the cocktail napkins!
4.
Natural tones are perfect for bringing in autumn flair to your wedding. These
cute, natural favor boxes are fun to dress up with raffia, ribbon and leaf favor tags printed with your names or a cute message. Cut the leaves from our blank
card stock, or order printed leaf favor tags and add them to your DIY favors for a finishing touch.
5.
Put your DIY favors center stage with a great presentation with wedding
favors. Wrap your treats in cellophane bags, add printed seals, and layer the favors in wooden trays or baskets lined with faux leaves or a
scattering of nuts.
Happy
autumn and have fun DIY-ing!

We
thought you'd love to have a peek at some of the beautiful products we
custom-designed for Bride Search Winner Michele's wedding on April 17, 2010!
Michele is classy and stylish, and she wanted her wedding to reflect those
qualities. So we worked together to create the designs, styles and color
combinations that would create the perfect look for her day.
1. Michele chose
the gorgeous color combination of aqua and champagne shimmer paper for her
invitation and other personalized paper products. We re-designed our Grace
Layered Wedding Invitation to include the special peacock feather design we created just for her! (If
you'd like to incorporate this design into your wedding, or if you'd like
to order this invitation style, please call customer service at
1-800-766-8595.)

their guests. They printed these custom cards with notes letting guests
know about their donation.

— and a real peacock feather was added for a special, luxurious touch.
envelopes for a beautiful look.
feather design was incorporated into every element of the wedding, even

Simple summer centerpiece ideas you can DIY with help from Jean M!
Summer
weddings are by nature fresh and carefree. That means your centerpieces can be
un-fussy, colorful, fun and most importantly — SIMPLE!
Here
are some great ideas for creating simple, DIY summer centerpieces. Find the
perfect Jean M container and finishing touches, and add your unique centerpiece
items for unforgettable results.
1.
Fresh fruit, like these bright lemons that mimic the sunshine, is an
inexpensive and easy centerpiece filler. Add some simple greens and you’ve
captured summer! Use our rectangular vases and tie with matching ribbon.
2.
Nothing says simple beauty like lots of candlelight. Mass together candles of similar shapes in different heights on silver trays, and add lots of votive candles around your venue to glow long into the summer night.
3.
Summertime is for kids at heart. Cater to your guests’ fun-loving natures by
providing colorful candies in votive holders at each table and encourage guests to treat themselves. Add ribbon and a personalized tag
to amp up the personal factor.
4.
Favors, table numbers and centerpieces in one — what could be easier? Fill
clear cylinders or vases
with colorful candies, add a table number and provide favor boxes or favor bags for guests to fill with the sweets after dinner.
5.
Daisy, daisy — no other flower says “summer” as well! Gather loose bunches of
daisies into rectangular vases, add a ribbon and a personalized sticker, and you’ve got easy centerpieces with summer flair.
6.
Mini bouquets of pretty summer flowers in votive holders can be grouped together to create a big impact. Encourage each guest to take a
little bouquet home as a favor.
Enjoy!

S’more really great wedding ideas from Jean M!
Summer
outdoor weddings and parties are by nature fancy-free, lighthearted and fun. Up
that fun ante a little bit at your summer celebration by building a bonfire at
your rehearsal dinner, after your wedding dance or just for fun and getting
guests involved in making the ultimate summertime treat — s’mores!
Here
are some unique ideas for providing s’mores ingredients at your summertime
bash.
Centerpieces
and snacks, all in one! Provide graham crackers, marshmallows and chocolates in
heart-shaped vases so guests can help themselves whenever they want.
Rustic
affair? Fill unique containers like these rope-handled, barnboard buckets to
overflowing with s’mores fixings, set them next to the fire and encourage
guests to dig in!
Sweet
convenience! Package s’mores ingredients in cellophane bags and hand them out in the buffet line to make it easy for guests to transport
their treats from table to fireside. Add ribbon and stickers to the bags for a personal touch.
S’mores
to go! Send guests home with a sweet treat and fun memories of your wedding
with packaged s’mores ingredients. Top the cellophane bags
with a printed place card.
Enjoy!
It’s DIY Week! Find great ideas for creating the perfect look for your outdoor wedding.

weddings are popular and beautiful. And the best part is that they're SO easy

stock, envelopes and embellishments you need to create a unique DIY look all your own.
