Featured on Style Me Pretty!

I recently took part in a styled shoot where a group of great Boston wedding vendors got together and created a beautiful, summery wedding set-up. The shoot was featured on Style Me Pretty Massachusetts on Monday! I did the paper goods...from invitations to seating chart, menus to table numbers, waterproof soda bottle labels to small signs for the candy table and lounge. Here are a few photos of my work, but check out Style Me Pretty for the full blog post.

New Venture - The Seating Chart Boutique

It's been quite a while since I posted last...a year actually. A lot has happened during this past year and I have some exciting news to share. In addition to still running Elegance on Paper, I am now the proud owner of The Seating Chart Boutique. www.seatingchartboutique.com.


At the Seating Chart Boutique, you will find a place to order seating charts for weddings and other events. One stop shopping...tons of colors, designs, fonts, etc.

Want to know more about why you'd use a seating chart...or about how the business started? Check out my About page for details.

And if you need coordinating stationery for your reception, please contact us at least 6-8 weeks before your wedding and we'd be happy to help!

Seating Charts

Seating Charts are becoming the new trend for seating arrangements at weddings. Reduce the clutter on the tables by getting rid of placecards and present one beautiful sign. Now don't envision an ugly diagram with tables drawn out...these are designed to match your wedding (colors, fonts, graphics). I make them 36" x 24" which fits into a standard frame, which I suggest buying at AC Moore or Michael's when there is sale or a coupon. Here are a few examples of seating charts I've recently done.

Butterfly Invitations - Jaime-Rita & Mike

Jaime-Rita didn't have much of an idea of what she wanted for a design during her consult until I started to ask some questions...then I realized she loves butterflies. Done! I found this simple, graceful butterfly graphic.

We pulled in greens and browns with a simple white cardstock. I added a green backer to the RSVP card to add a punch of color. Shimmery tan envelope liners added a touch of elegance and I added the butterfly all over the envelopes to tie it together.

For the wedding, I did long, skinny programs and a seating chart.

Ashley & Steve's Reception Extras

 

 

 

 

To match Ashley & Steve's invitations, we incorporated brown, green and opal metallic papers. She chose bright green menus to add some color to the reception tables. I made simple table numbers for Ashley to frame using names from all around Boston. Lastly, I did a custom seating chart to display the seating arrangements.

Mike & Melissa's Brown & Burgundy Wedding

 

 

 

 

Melissa & Mike wanted to tie the invites to everything for the ceremony & reception. We did personal menus, table numbers which they framed, programs and a seating chart. The seating chart was my first ever and it came out great. It was prominently displayed in the lobby when guests walked in. Menus, table numbers and programs were all made from opal metallic cardstock and incorporated brown and burgundy in the text and ribbon colors.

Seating Charts - New Product Highlight!

 

This is a new product that I am so excited to introduce - Seating Charts! Instead of the standard placecards, I can design a 36" x 24" seating chart. They make a statement and also reduce clutter in your tables. Seating charts can be customized with menus, monograms, bridal party info...pretty much anything you want!

I suggest buying your own frame so you can keep it and possibly display in your home. Don't forget your AC Moore coupon for great savings! Alternatively, you can rent my black frame for $30. At the reception, you'll mount this on an easel, which most reception locations will have. I can provide discounted pricing when ordering more than one chart.
