Seattle – Rain City

May 3rd, 2012

Seattle may be the Rain City but it is the home to some great attractions!

 

First Starbucks

Starbucks opened its first store in 1971 in the Pike Place Market in downtown Seattle.  Because the Market is a historic district with design guidelines, the store retains its original look. The store is now internationally recognized and has obviously taken off since it’s humble beginning!

 

 

The Space Needle

The Space Needle is a tourist attraction with a lot to offer. The Needle has restaurants, group tours and a 360 degree view of Seattle! If you want to see Seattle from a prime location this would be my suggestion!

 

 

Bill Gates’ House

You can’t go in and take a tour or anything but Bill Gates’ house lies on the east shore of Lake Washington.  The house was designed by James Cutler and covers approximately 66,000 square feet.

 

 

 

 

The Seattle Invitation

On the front, feature a favorite photograph of the both of you, with a simple adorning of your names unified. On the backside, another photograph or image with the text that you create to announce your upcoming marriage. Available in gloss or matte, like all of our invitations, the Seattle is also customizable by changing font, background color, images and more.

 

 

 

The photos on this invitation were taken by Alyssa Ence Photography! She found her passion in photography and has run with it ever since.  ”I believe that photography is capturing that little moment of magic that you can never get back, but truly holding onto it forever. I would be honored to share those little moments with you that you would like to cherish and capture the magic to the best of my ability.” Check out her website here!

Plano – An All American City

April 25th, 2012

Plano is the All American City

The Plano Invitation

The Plano is a really hot design, and something you have probably never seen before in the wedding invitation world. The bride’s and groom’s names are the header. Directly below is a great photo of the couple’s choice. This photo is bordered in a scroll pattern with your choice of color. Then the wedding date acts as the footer. The back panel is where the wedding details are placed. The Plano is a fun design for ultramodern newlyweds.

 

 

Hot Air Balloon Festival

This year mark’s 33 years of Ballooning in Plano, Texas. It is a spectacular three-day event beginning at 4:00pm Friday, September 22nd at Oak Point Park.
