We, along with an uber-talented team of wedding and event professionals, were recently featured on Style Me Pretty for our work on a Mad Men-inspired photo shoot at St. Pete Beach’s newest event hot-spot The Postcard Inn.

Even though Sherry and Jason were married on April Fool’s Day, the clever, elegant details of this wedding were no joke.  Jewel tones with a rustic touch set the tone from the save the dates to the farewell sparklers.  We loved working with Jaime Billig, MMD Events and of course the bride.  Sherry was an absolute dream client with an eye for details and a decisive, easygoing personality. This event was captured beautifully by Limelight Photography, who never cease to amaze us with fierce detail shots and heartwarming portraits.

Not From a Box is proud to announce that we are the newest members of the Chicago Chapter of Wish Upon A Wedding. We are excited to have the opportunity to make a couples' wish come true.

Enjoy live music, complimentary self parking, gourmet hors d’oeuvres & pink champagne.

Denise and Justin were married on a gorgeous October day at the Sandpearl Resort on Clearwater Beach. Their wedding was the perfect mixture of sophistication, style and personal touches. Guests were invited to the wedding with ecru letterpress invitations with chocolate brown and champagne accents, including an illustrated map of Clearwater Beach for guests’ convenience. The groom, a musician, named their tables after their favorite bands and musicians. So it’s only natural that he got up and performed with the band at the reception. How fun is that?!?

We are thrilled to be included in the current issue of Weddings Unveiled Magazine, as a part of Erin and David’s December, 2009 wedding at the Ritz-Carlton Sarasota. I must admit, I had little doubt this wedding would be published: It was absolutely gorgeous in every way, and captured beautifully by photograper Garrett Nudd. This wedding is also featured in our own Real Weddings gallery, with additional photos and details here.

Invitations & Stationery: Not From a Box

Artful letterpress invitations complete with a custom die-cut seal and hand calligraphy requested the honour of very fortunate guests’ presence to Terin and Jake’s elegant Tampa wedding. Black tie attire, please. Enjoy stunning florals and decor, scrumptious food and service by the Renaissance Tampa. Tables, named after Latin-derived legal terms, were a nod to the bride and groom’s profession and a clever personal touch. But oooh the Swarovski crystal-encrusted menu cards were so divine too! Cindy Stonehouse and her talented team of vendors brilliantly painted the Renaissance Tampa’s ballroom in Classic Elegance, in shades of white and pops of deep aquamarine. Foto d’Amore captured this event beautifully. {{{{Swoon}}}

It’s hard to choose just one favorite detail of this wedding. First: I absolutely adored working with Katherine and her family for the second time — view Katherine’s sister Kristen’s wedding in Nov. 2009 here — they are creative, think-outside-the-box folks. We spent many afternoons kicking around fun ideas in my studio or having “what if…?” conversations via email. Second: the venue selection, color scheme, decor and lighting are true masterpieces of creativity and execution. Third: the invitations and stationery truly set the tone for the day, and how clever are the mini-canvas escort cards?

I developed an even deeper appreciation for event planners, decor, lighting and photography folks during the setup of this wedding — yes, I hung out at the museum for most of the day to witness firsthand the transformation, an astounding turnaround of just 2 hours because the museum doesn’t close early for private events. But that experience will be the subject of another blog post entirely.

This is a true southern charm wedding, complete with soft details, gorgeous florals, and abundant food, all captured beautifully by photographer Ryan Joseph. The couple’s save the date announcements, wedding invitations and ceremony programs featured a soft green cabbage rose illustration and classic champagne typography. A true example of “less is more” design.
