Morning, everyone! There are quite a few things I’m loving today (as per usual), but there are two – even possibly three – extra special things at the tippy top of my list at the moment. One of them you might be able to guess… and it’s coming a bit later on. It has to do with ANNOUNCING THE WINNER OF THE GEM PHOTO FREE WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY GIVEAWAY oh look, there, I just blew it. I blew the secret! I’m terrible at this.
Ok, calm down. Let’s everybody calm down. Things just got a little intense, but we’re ok. Be cool. EVERYTHING’S. COOL.
Let’s start at the beginning.
I am in lust with each and every lovely little thing that comes out of the hyper-creative noggin’ of one Megan Knight Gonzalez, the designer of MaeMae Paperie. She offers a line of, as she puts it, “completely custom invitations, announcements, social stationery, and branding,” and it rarely gets better than this, my friends.
She created this save the date for a client who’s getting married in Raleigh, NC – a city very close to my heart. I spent many hours waiting for planes in that town’s airport during my college years… despite this, I still love the place, so that’s a testament… well, that’s probably just a testament to the joy of my college years, but the town’s lovely, too! :)

By the way, if you’re digging the calligraphy, it was done by the talented hand of Molly from Plurabelle, and I highly recommend her if you’re looking for a calligrapher!

Ok, be back in a jiff with the big news. MUHAHAHAHA.
xoxo! – Seacrest out.
