A Real Momental Wedding – Melanie and Adam, The Fairmont Washington D.C.

Melanie contacted me early last year and I knew instantly we would connect.  Her ideas for stationery were inspired by a striking china pattern (more on that tomorrow).  The first sample created was the one… and from there we just had fun detailing the design.  Laura from Wish Events sent over images from Melanie’s day […]
