… inauguration I say wedding

Diane Von Furstenburg’s take on what Michelle Obama should wear on the night of the inauguration. See the rest of the sketches here. Via here.

Apparently even Pantone agrees with my color choices. Read all about it here.

How gorgeous would kraft paper wrapped wedding favors tied in this ribbon be? Buy it here.

I am loving this poster sold by etsy seller dazeychic. I think posters are a great gift idea for a low-budget christmas! Check out the rest of her posters, she has some great ones

Just stick a 4×6 photo in the center and wham! A pretty awesome frame within a frame. 

(buy it here, found via here)

Make sure to check back tomorrow for another real wedding  Good night!

pink peonies, in late november. who would have known. 

I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving Holiday I definitely enjoyed the 5 day weekend… work is that last place I wanted to be this morning

Ok blogging world, I need your help. I am looking for flat cards in this color:

Marigold, mustard… this one is from Mountaincow.com and is called saffron. Unfortunately they only offer it in a light weight. I need something at least 80lb. I have googled everything I can think of and just can’t find that color! If you have seen it or know of a great paper place, please leave a link, I would be very very grateful!

My Thanksgiving weekend included:

-uncle falling off the roof (he is alive, just very very bruised )

-dress fitting with Mehtab (thanks for the recommendations, she is great!)

-seeing a woman stuff a balloon into the trashcan at the starbucks drive through

-mailing off our Save The Dates

-buying my first ever pink peonies! who would have known they would be in season in late November?

Pictures to come.

Hope yours was exciting too

Hello!  So this post is a little abnormal, but today is an abnormal day. Working for a startup company in this economy is no bueno for my bank account so I am looking to take on more freelance work. Here is what I can do for you:

Photo Editing: I was a photo-communications major in school which meant that photo editing was key. As of right now I edit for Matthew Morgan Photography. If you are a bride and would like your pictures professionally edited, I am amazing at it Maybe you couldn’t afford a photographer so you had friends take pictures, maybe you had a photographer but didn’t like the editing, whatever your reason, I am your girl! Please email me at heather {at} wemetinabar {dot} com for pricing and more information. You can see my mad crazy editing skills here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here and here.

Invitation/ Paper Good Design: As a graphic designer I get to work on (boring) health ads and posters during the day, but my real love is invitation design. If you are looking for custom designed invitations on a budget, please contact me! You can see my work here and here. I can print with my ink jet printer and with my gocco as well. Again, please contact me at heather {at} wemetinabar {dot} com if you are interested!

Update: I added some editing before and afters on my About page (top left) if you are interested!

A good piece of advice:

I am in love with this packaging. I am always looking for inspiration for invitations and logos, and I love love love this look, especially the logo.
