I started seeing the trend a year or so ago. Like most trends, it takes a while to get to the Midwest. So, when Caleigh & Cory found a semi-custom invitation design and wanted to turn the colors terracotta for her late summer Omaha wedding, I was ecstatic.

It’s kinda even hard to believe. This is my 9th year of receiving The Knot’s Best of Weddings in invitations. THE NINTH.

I gotta say, it’s exciting every year. I remember the first time I won and I was elated that I was even in that category. And now, nine years later, still excited. Mainly

When do you send Save the Dates and wedding invitations for your upcoming wedding?

It’s one of my most asked questions and I often bring it up before it’s even asked. Your wedding is a big date on the calendar and you want your guests to know about it, but how soon is too soon? Or not soon enough?

I love when a unique wedding comes into my life. Like a beautiful wedding with Park City, Utah as the destination. I’ve never been to Deer Valley in Park City…but it’s now on my list. Enter in: gorgeous wedding invitations.

Greenery wedding invitations was jotted down in my notes for many weddings in 2021. The look was hot…not a lot of floral and greenery being the star. And Alexandra & Ben’s February wedding was one of those weddings. But like many 2020 and early 2021 weddings, Alexandria & Ben had to do some last minute changes

Small town Nebraska girl here. Like, 500ish people in my town small. So trust me when I say I understand small town Nebraska weddings. And when that small town wedding is in the middle of winter when NOTHING else is going on, let’s just say it’s a party.

If you’re planning a 2022, you’re already in the deep when it comes to reaching out to vendors and making plans. One of the most important decisions you need to make before reaching out is your wedding style. What color palatte are you going to go with? Are you using color at all? Or are you going bold?

They knew they came to me late in the wedding planning game. But it was 2020 and I didn’t expect much different. With their classic navy wedding style + reception at Happy Hollow Country Club…this was a wedding I could not pass up.
