It has been a busy couple of weeks here at Brown Sugar Design! Deep in the throes of wedding season, we’ve been working nonstop on “day-of” items for our summer weddings – programs, escort cards, menus, and the like. We’ve also had visitors for the past two weeks – friends eager to enjoy Seattle during its most beautiful season!

With all of the excitement, we haven’t had the opportunity to share with you some very exciting news! The Fall/Winter issue of Seattle Bride Magazine hit newsstands in July, and we were delighted to discover that we were voted Best Invitations – as voted by other wedding vendors – in their Best of 2009 poll!

We are so honored to have been voted the best by our colleagues. There are so many very talented and creative wedding professionals in Seattle and we are humbled to have been honored by them in this way. When you work in a creative industry, it’s a true honor to know that others you respect enjoy your work.

We’d like to say “thank you!” with a special promotion to help you say “thank you” in style! From now through October 1, any wedding invitation order over $1000.00 will include 100 complimentary letterpress thank you flats*! Just mention “best of bride” when ordering.

*the fine print: offer applies to new customers only. free offer includes 100 one-color letterpress flat cards with blank envelopes in your choice of color. flats can be personalized to match invitation order. card size: 5×3.5″

One of our favorite calligraphers, Laura Hooper, just introduced two new {gorgeous!} styles: Specerian and Spencerian Swash Caps. Both are stunning! She is running a great special offer right now too: Receive $1.00 off every outer envelope using a Spencerian style or receive 50% off an enlarged map with the purchase of any map order. Offer valid through July 31. Contact her for availability and delivery dates and mention JULY2009 when ordering.

If you are in the Seattle area and are interested in seeing Laura’s work in person, contact us to make an appointment to see her sample book at out Kirkland studio!
