Mark & Cortney were married at a historical country club in Pennsylvania and contacted me to create something traditional, floral and romantic. We created stationery that featured shades of pink, green, taupe and deep brown. I loved the end result – traditional and romantic with a bold, graphic twist. We also incorporated dupioni silk ribbon into the invitations and programs. Oh dear, can I just take a moment to profess my love for dupioni? It’s lovely and fantastic and I get excited every time a bride selects it for her stationery. Mark & Cortney’s stationery is circled below (1&2).

Lindsey & Brandon were a positively smashing couple who married at The Country Club at DC Ranch in North Scottsdale. This gorgeous location served as the inspiration for their stationery, designed in shades of brown and green. We incorporated an ornate pattern along with their monogram on all pieces and it brought everything together so well. Lindsey was an absolute dynamo in the planning process and it’s no wonder she’s now an Associate Event Planner with the Outstanding Occasions gals (who also planned her wedding to perfection). Lindsey & Brandon’s Save the Date cards and favor labels are shown below, circle 4.

The new issue of Arizona Bride is on newsstands now. Pick up a copy and then contact me to design lots of stationery. Please and thank you.

So excited to share that Kelly Ashworth Design is featured in the new issue of Bride & Bloom magazine! When the ultra talented, super funny and all around nice/celebrity/wedding planner/online media expert Liene Stevens of Blue Orchid Weddings asked me to contribute to a feature she was putting together, I was ecstatic.

This lemon tart from Sweet Pea Bakery is making my mouth water. I need the recipe. Or directions to the bakery. Stat.

Favors were incorporated into the table decor in the form of pretty bottles of lemonade with tags denoting a donation for Pink Initiative. This is a great idea for brides who want to show support for their favorite cause and still keep their guests well hydrated with a delicious beverage!

I created accordion style invitations in shades of spring green and yellow, and tied them together with some cute gingham ribbon I found at my local craft store. (You may notice the bride and groom’s names: James & Pamela. Will my obsession with “The Office” never end?)

Gorgeous table decor and florals in shades of yellow, green and white courtesy of BBJ Linen, Tri-Rentals, and White Poppy Floral. And the one and only Darby Elizabeth of Darby Elizabeth Photography captured these beautiful images. Thanks to Liene for this amazing opportunity!

Ben Quillinan, photographer genius from BQ Photography, was kind enough to share the images from this amazing shoot. I am still in complete awe of the way it all came together. What started as a “pink, black and white table” soon morphed into this insane fabulousness:

The new issue of Arizona Bride is out, and as usual, they did an amazing job. I’m always struck at the level of professionalism that goes into this magazine. And I’m excited to say that I was featured (twice) inside its glamorous pages! Pick up a copy, on newsstands now.
