Inside BG Design Studio!!

 

A few months ago, BG Design Studio changed locations and moved into a gorgeous new studio that we just LOVE! For some time now, we’ve been in the process of moving all of our equipment and supplies and really making it the new home for our business. Looking around, I am so happy with the new setup and I’m pleased to say that this space really fits us and our needs.

Want to take a look around? Let me give you the virtual grand tour!!

This is the front lobby. It’s a cheerful, cozy sitting room with splashes of color and lots of little creative touches. We decorated our walls with samples of some of our favorite paper projects and goodies that we have designed over the years. We really wanted to give the studio that same chic and stylish feel that we always work hard to impart on our paper designs.

We also have a meeting room that’s overflowing with invites we’ve created, paper and color samples, as well as a variety of other design samples. This is where we sit down with our clients and get a feel for what they want for their special occasions.

Then there’s our back workspace, which most of our clients don’t get to see but I’ll give you a little sneak peek into our world. :) This is where the magic happens; paper, texture and pattern are married with ribbon and bling and other unique accents. Here we cut, combine, glue, and assemble the beautiful designs that we put our hearts into in order to make you, our client, thrilled with the end result.

Want to check out BG Design Studio for yourself? Make an appointment with us to tell us about the dream wedding invitations that you would like us to design for you or other paper goods that you need for your special occasion! We’d love to see you here.

All kinds of paper goodies!

Regardless of the occasion, we can custom tailor any design to suit your needs. Our job is to make color and texture come together on paper to help make your event unforgettable.

When putting a design together, we love capturing your personality and desires so that you think, “this is me! This is exactly what I was wanting!” We will listen carefully to what it is you want and then use our expertise to make it a reality. These beautiful examples of invites from our vendor, Envelopments, are just a few tiny possibilities of what we can put together for you. The sky is the limit!

A Fairy Tale Wedding

That’s all I could think when I saw these gorgeous photos from Jenny and Gray’s San Clemente Wedding at Casa Romantica… these photos are like something from a fairy tale. Desi Baytan Photography did an amazing job capturing the romance and beauty of the event and I found myself melting into my chair, eyes glazing over with a dreamy, faraway expression on my face.

Everything about this wedding was simply stunning, from the bride  & groom to the color choices and the flowers (OMG! Aren’t they gorgeous!?!?) to all of the vintage stylings and the romantic, rustic scenery… le sigh. Nothing about the design was overdone or underdone – it was soft, simple, elegant… just perfect.

Sometimes, in the middle of the week, you just need a boost of wedding eye candy goodness to get you through the day, and I think this one did it for me for the whole month! I hope it makes your day a little sweeter, too!

Colorful Cardstock Combinations for Invites

Summer is winding down slowly now and we’re moving toward autumn, but I’m not quite ready to say goodbye yet!! I love the vibrant colors that summer always infuses into everything, and I’m still coveting some truly gorgeous summery color schemes from our paper good vendor, Envelopments. If you haven’t seen their website, you should check it out. Not only are their products beautiful, high quality, and simply fabulous, their samples and examples are a wonderful source of inspiration and eye candy!

(And of course if you see anything there that you would love to use for your wedding invitations – or birthday party, wedding shower, or other event! – be sure to let us know. We will create something spectacular that you will just LOVE!)

Look at this gorgeous color combination: Pout Pink, Guava, Crème Brulée and Ecru. It says this wedding is going to be happy, lighthearted, open, and fun! I picture a ceremony in some vast green garden overflowing with orange poppies, pink bougainvillea, and fruit trees!

And don’t you just love this color combo!? Bronze, French Roast, and Peacock. These invites are classy, simple, and elegant, yet they say “we know how to have fun, too!” They foreshadow a ceremony in a beautiful cathedral with stained glass windows, followed by a reception bursting with calla lilies, champagne, and a rich, many-tiered chocolate cake with ganache center. Yum!

And last but not least, I’ve been relishing this yummy nature-inspired color combination: Envy Green, Black Linen, Diamond, and Pyrite. These wedding invitations are romantic, sweet, and whimsical. I can just see a late-summer wedding on a venerable family estate lined with oak trees and decorated with bunches of fresh green grapes and bouquets of white peonies!

Summery Floral Fun!

There’s something about warm summer days that are just so full of whimsy and magic! Maybe it’s the way sunlight sparkles and winks at you through the leaves in the trees, inviting you to spend more time outside in the garden. Maybe it’s the way plants and flowers are more cheerful than ever, brightening up the space around them – especially now that everywhere you look, families and businesses are going green. Maybe it’s the way the weather has you reaching for that ice cold glass of fresh-squeezed strawberry lemonade and putting your feet up on the back porch with wildflowers tucked in your hair.

Okay, maybe it’s all of it!! Does it really matter just exactly what it is that makes summer such a gorgeous, beautiful time of year? All I know is, we’re smack-dab in the middle of a hot California summer, and it’s the perfect time for a wedding. I’m in heaven!!

Really though, nothing gets me more excited about summer weddings than seeing all of the GORGEOUS floral arrangements that are in bloom everywhere. Does anything say ‘summer’ more than a bright bouquet of vivid yellow sunflowers or a colorful bunch of delicate roses and peonies? Just looking at all of these makes me want to sit down and start designing invites around all of the yummy color palettes. Happy sigh.
