Salt Lake/Park City Bride & Groom Winter/Spring 2013 Issue
One of my favorite things about January is the release of new bridal magazines. Seeing the new issues on the newsstand makes me want to do nothing but drink coffee all afternoon and swoon over the gorgeous goods and ideas that are always in abundance.
We’re extra excited to be featured in Salt Lake/Park City Bride & Groom Winter/Spring 2013 issue. Check out the gorgeous details of the Long-Pettine Real Wedding on page 52. This is our bride and I thought I would share more details of the invitation we designed for her big day. The bride had guests traveling in for a weekend full of activities and she needed a clean, simple and elegant way to incorporate everything she needed to convey to her guests. We ultimately landed on a pocket on the back of invitation that captures and organizes all of detail cards. It was streamlined and made all of the pieces from the map, itinerary, reception, accommodations and reply card easy for the guests to prepare for the big day.
We also want to give a big shout out to Culinary Crafts for including our equestrian menu in their ad on page 2. The applied lace on the top of the menu was one of my favorite inspirations of late and I love the soft look. For more on that equestrian photo shoot visit Utah Bride Blog.

Lastly, this post would not be complete without mentioning the wide variety of awesome wedding professionals represented in this issue. A few of those pros came together for the gorgeous cover and deserve a special shout out from the Ann Elizabeth team. Congratulations to Britt Chudleigh, Alta Moda Bridal, Roots, and O.C. Tanner for making the cover with your inspiring work. Utah's wedding scene has never looked so good. |
2013 Pantone Color of the Year - Emerald Green
Every year there is a lot of anticipation around Pantone's color of the year and we have to admit that this year was no exception. We are excited to show you a few of our favorite things about Pantone's 2013 pick - Number 17-5641 in Emerald Green.
This refreshing choice for 2013 follows last year’s color Tangerine Tango. It’s quality to create a boost of energy helped an economy that needed to recharge and move forward. With a new year full of dreams and goals. Emerald green creates a sense of rejuvenation, balance and harmony. The human eye sees the color green more in the color spectrum than any other color, making this years color great to incorporate into our daily lives through fashion, beauty, home decor and design.
The concept of the Emerald Isle Martini is definitely a favorite around the studio this week. With the simple ingredients and refreshing look, it’s a must have drink for any occasion. We're also loving the bold move of going emerald green for makeup. With all the options you have with eye shadows, liners, mascaras and nail colors, your sure to get noticed. And lastly, all of the gals at Ann Elizabeth are a little ga-ga over how this bride incorporated emerald green into her wedding. The brides maids dresses are elegant yet fun and the bride brings her own pop of color by wearing emerald heels.

Congratulations to Brittany Scalabrin-McNamee, January's Bride of the Month!
January 2013: Brittany Scalabrin-McNamee!
This month we are excited to share Brittany’s invitations with you! Brittany came into Ann Elizabeth with a fairly detailed idea of what type of message and feeling she wanted her invitations to convey. As we met with Brittany she conveyed to use that she was after a style that was classy and elegant with an outdoorsy feel. Brittany knew she wanted to have a copper as one of her colors for the invitation because of the history of the copper mines in Butte, Montana near the location of their wedding. We paired the copper with a navy blue and toned it down to give it both a masculine and feminine element. Our invitation consultant Ruth Sorenson sat down with Brittany to get her take on the invitation process. Below are some of the highlights from Brittany’s recent interview.
