Inspired Ink – Suspended Orchids
I explore Karen Tran’s blog and website almost daily and each time I visit I notice something new. I fell for her suspended orchid centerpiece creation – the graceful shapes, crisp color and glistening details are just breathtaking. For this week’s Inspired Ink post I created a Cascading Vintage Lacy design in shades of ecru, […]
Inspirations – Hotel Fauchère
This afternoon I am creating a design for Michelle that is entirely inspired by the Moroccan tile floor at the Hotel Fauchère in Milford, Pennsylvania. I revisited the website today to gather images for color direction and created a simple inspiration board. I am obsessed with the look of the bar – everything from the […]
An Artful Life – A lovely weekend in New Hope, PA
Recently the hubby and I took a long weekend to celebrate our 9th anniversary. New Hope, PA is only a little over an hour away but feels like so much more. I find this area to be entirely inspiring, filled with gorgeous landscape, family owned eateries and eclectic shopping that I love so much. We […]
Peacocks, Willows and Eventology – The Collaborative Process
One of the most exciting parts of my design days is when I have the chance to collaborate with other vendors. Recently I created items for 2 events. Randy from Wicked Willow noticed my stationery pieces and the I DO Brunch last month and contacted me to create several items for a 18th Annual Great […]
Well Said – A few words from Gordon…
Several weeks ago I received a lovely email from Monika in Sweden. She spoke of her plans for a September wedding at a countryside Inn and a day filled with thoughtful details for her guests. After working through the first design round of her Vintage Stamped Tree invitation, her partner Gordon sent me a beautiful […]
Another look at the logo…
Several weeks ago I blogged about the new look that is coming for Momental Designs (read more here for the full story). The image overhaul involves a new website to launch in June, fresh look for the blog and an updated logo. I must admit I like a fussy, detailed design so creating a simple, […]

Well Said – Lennon and McCartney
Ashley chose a lovely quote by Lennon and McCartney to embellish her fringe invitations. This was quite the intricate design featuring bold artwork and unexpected details. The quote tag adorned with a grosgrain ribbon wrap just adds to the edgy personality of this creation. “Limitless undying love which shines around me like a million suns. […]
Who I admire?
So I took the pledge and today is the day to name the five wedding professionals that inspire me most! If you recall I posted last week regarding Bride Tide’s call to bloggers. I promised to blog today about not just 1 but 5 people in the wedding industry who inspire me! So let’s get […]

Well Said – The Notebook
I had an hour long chat with Amber late last week. She chose the Vintage Stamped Tree invitation after seeing our photo in The Knot, but had quite a different take on the concept…second to her savvy color palette and whimsical sensibilities is her inspiration for the invitation. The quote from the notebook is long […]

I have been working with Louisa for over a year; created her garden style save the dates and white peony invitations. When it came time to craft her menu, table names […]
