Look at What's Hatching

It was so much fun to post for our week of weddings! I thought I'd transition this week to celebrations that can be for any event...wedding, showers, birthdays... Lately at the studio we have been getting lots of requests for both housewarming and engagement invitations in bright, joyful color palettes.

above: nests make the perfect symbol for a new home or engagement. Bakery Bar in Oregon created this sweet little bird cake. The flocked velvet shoes by Sugar and Ferragamo bird tie carry the motif but only if you squint really hard! Nest placecard holders are simple and whimsical.

Of course, who else could I sketch for a whimsical, joyful occasion but one of Nanette Lepore's beautiful Spring 08 dresses?
