Vacation Till January 4th

I will be relaxing in Lake Tahoe to the 4th. I will have limited email access. All email responses will resume on Monday!

Real Wedding- Anne Marie's

I had the pleasure of working with an amazing bride for the past year. I got to work on almost all of her paper products. We did Save the Dates, Invitations, Favor Card, Monogram Squares (she made her own programs, I just printed the squares) and Menus.

Her color scheme was antique gold, chocolate and eggplant. Absolutely beautiful rich colors. Her photographer took the following pictures which are absolutely amazing:

Timeline for your Paper Needs

I read all different blogs throughout the day and the Wedding Aces one is one of my favorites becuase it gives brides the information they really need to know, other than just inspiriational pictures.

This article is a great tool for any bride planning their paper needs for their wedding. There is a lot of time that goes into your product that is not included in the assembly time.

Alison's Invitations and Reception Pieces

Alison had to reschedule her wedding due to a venue mishap. She contacted me to make her invitations and reception details.

Real Wedding- Alison's Favor Tags

Alison attached these to her baskets so the receipients would know what is inside without having to open it up.

Next up are her invitations!!

Anne Marie's Reception Details

Anne Marie came back to me to do her menus and welcome cards for her wedding. They tied in the scroll work and design of her invites and save the dates. They were done in antique gold, purple and dark brown. They are on their way to her at this very moment for her Saturday wedding! Congrats Anne Marie and Patrick!

Real Weddings- Cassie's Tiffany's Invite

Cassie's wedding was absolutely gorgeous and I have to admit the invite looked pretty damn good!!!

Megan's Table Numbers

Megan contacted me on Etsy to make her 30 table numbers for her New Year's Eve Black and Red wedding.

I hope she loves them!

Lauren's Table Numbers- Etsy order

Lauren contacted me to do her table numbers for her October 17, 2009 wedding. Her colors were brown gold and blush pink. She attached this beautiful picture to her review on etsy. Photo credit: jasonangelini.com


***Former brides please send me your pictures of my pieces, I would love to see the final outcomes and will pay for prints***

Alison- Favor Cards

I am making multiple pieces for her wedding. These are her favor cards. I had made her save the dates and will be making her invitations, seating card and menus.

Cake Toppers

For those who care to follow, I have a blog for my ideas for our wedding: http://www.norcaldiybride.blogspot.com/

I just updated it with my version of the crystal cake topper.

I made one with rhinestones and we both didn't like it, it looked like it wasn't complete. Then I decided to do it glitter and we absolutely love it.

I can make one for you for $45 plus $10 for shipping. Process time takes 2 weeks to complete. Glitter used is Martha Stewart.

Ignore the Niner Cheerleader calendar in the background... that would be my lovely Fiance's!

Janell- Reception Pieces

I have been lucky enough to work with Janell on multiple occasions. Her invitations were the one of a kind accordian invites which were the first I have ever made! We decided to tie in her design and colors through her reception pieces. I made table numbers, escort cards, favor cards, bathroom basket cards and Menus!

Hopefully her photographer will catch some good pictures of all of the pieces at her wedding on Saturday!

Any former brides who are reading this! Please send me pictures of the final products, I am willing to pay your photographer for the images!!!

Christina's Boarding Pass Save the Dates

Christina contacted me to do her save the dates. We incorporated a customized Las Vegas sign for her Las Vegas wedding.

Here are just two pictures, once again sorry for the bad pictures, it was taken with my iPhone!

We are also working on her wedding invitations right now and I will post as soon as she finalizes the proof and I start the assembly process!

Jaimie's Menu

Jaimie wanted me to change her menu design. She had a completely different design for her invites before so now we are changing everything to go with the graphic on her invites.

Jaimie & John's Invites

I have been helping Jaimie for about a year on all of her wedding products. She comes to me with the idea and I help her make the final product. These design ideas are compeletly hers so I can't take any credit other than font choices on the invites! She came to me with the awesome design!!

Seating Chart- Kacie

Nicole from Pink Design recommended Nancie to have me make her clients seating chart. I was happy to do it and the final outcome came out great!

Anne Marie's Invites

Her colors are brown gold and ivory. We did four inserts, Directions, Accomodations, Response and Reception. All is kept together by a belly band acting as an inner envelope. I learned a lesson while doing these invites.... my printer does not work on A9 envelopes, it refuses to print on them. I was able to trick it into printing on the fronts but when I tried to do the backs it either took off the ink off the front or jammed.

Real Wedding- Cassie's

Cassie's photographer captured a beautiful picture of the invitations I made for her. They were all done in tiffany blue and black. It was a beautiful wedding to be in.

Wedding Wire Review- Janell

"I must say that Stella Bella Invites was my favorite vendor by far. The owner, Christine, is one of the most creative people I've ever met. She was so quick to respond to my emails, concerns and questions and really gave me a lot of ideas that help me pinpoint exactly what I wanted. She helped me create such a beautiful, unique and timeless wedding invitation. I am still getting emails about how great they looked and how everyone is saving it because its soo pretty.Her prices are so reasonable and her attention to detail is astounding. Trust me, you will not be disappointed. I'm encouraging all my friends to use her for at least some aspects of their wedding planning whether it be invitations, programs, menus or table numbers, etc.. "

Thank you Janell for the amazing review. It was such a pleasure to design these invites becuase they were truly unique. We went through so many designs and types to get the perfect invitation for her and her groom. In September/October I will post her table numbers, seating chart, programs and OOT Stickers.

Thank you once again!!

Seating Chart- Vu

The bride contacted me after a recommendation by Nicole at Pink Design. We incorporated her monogram that Nicole created and kept with the grey and yellow tones. This is one of 5 different color schemes that I sent her. For those wanting seating charts the design fee is $50.

Christina- Baby Announcement

I made Christina's wedding back a couple months ago and she contacted me to design her baby announcements. She is going to be doing a red Z fold from envelopperinc.com and wanted her design to incorporate light blue and orange. She said she wanted dots, so this is my take on dots!

Alexa and Kenny's Reception Details

Alexa and Kenny will be getting married on beautiful cape cod this Labor Day weekend. Their colors are deep red and brown.

For the table escort cards we used three colors, brown was fish, red was meat and cream was vegetarian.

Not sure why my camera made it blurry but these will be tied to their favors!

Janell's Final Invitations

I absolutely loved these invitations. They were my first accordian invites and were a lot of work. I personally think they came out amazing. I used a sapphire folded layer, with quartz printed layers. The outside "jackets" were envelopperinc venezia print in lilac/quartz. Her envelopes were lilac with a deep purple ink.
