A few weeks ago I wet with Elana and Julie, the ladies from Melangerie NYC, a unique custom design and gift company here in New York. The two women, who met while in graduated school at Parsons, created a firm that not only makes custom invites, stationary suites and accessories to make your event special, but also these amazing little "melangeries"- or really souped up gift baskets. Essentially, they celebrate celebrating with bespoke gifts, items and detail work that so many brides out there are looking for to make their day feel more "them". Think seating charts that graph the number of years you've known a guest and how, or keepsake albums and one of a kind guest books, or custom item tags.... They do so much I can't possibly showcase it all here, but I wanted to show off my favorite piece.
I was MOST smitten by this amazing invite, which I had to share with everyone! It's for a wedding taking place this summer in a Restored Casino in Providence, Rhode Island. The notion was to capture a 1920's vibe, while still seeming clean and contemporary. Being a Provi girl myself (Mayra and I went to Brown) I know the venue well and this perfectly captured the notions of both retro and romance, while giving a wink to the location with the playing card size. I also think that Green is the new "hotness" in color, so I love that as well.
