A small glimpse at a recently delivered project…

I love maps – especially city maps – especially letterpressed city maps…

(Pardon the smudgy picture. After taking some photos I discovered my camera lens needed some cleaning. Oops.)

Jonathan and I took advantage of an appointment-free Saturday a few weeks ago to do some browsing at Pacific Galleries. We found lots of good stuff – far more than our wallet (or our tiny place) could handle. The next best thing? iPhone photos!

Love, love, love the industrial light fixtures…

My mind is spinning with the organizational possibilities this rolling island presents…definitely our favorite find of the day.

Fun typography, fiberglass shell chairs (love the color), fun fan to add to our collection of vintage electrics…

…just a small peek at a recent order featuring some GORGEOUS calligraphy….

What a fun time of year! The sun is (finally) out, sundresses and wedge sandals can be worn once again, the grill is fired up, my flowers are thriving, and we here at Brown Sugar Design are offering an exciting wedding promotion!

We first met Christina and Mike in January 2009 at the Seattle Wedding Show. They were planning an elegant East Coast wedding for the fall, and immediately fell for the “two trees” custom invitation suite on display that we created for Lindsey and Phillip in 2008. We worked closely with Christina to create an invitation suite that reflected their own personal style using that imagery.

Using a color palette of autumn yellow and deep gray with bursts of metallic silver, we created an offset invitation suite that consisted of a panel-style invitation, rsvp cards, directions cards, and rehearsal dinner invitations. For their wedding day, we created programs, table cards (each named after a different variety of tree), escort cards, and favor tags. The trees motif carried throughout the wedding day, from a reading of “Two Trees” by Janet Miles at the ceremony to the “Tree in a Box” favors given out at the reception. Christina and Mike were kind enough to share these photos from their event, courtesy of Paired Images Photography.
