Glitter, Glitz, and Glam – Carla + Gregory – Custom Wedding Invitation – Philadelphia Stationery Designer – Titus Print

We had the pleasure of working with Carla and Gregory on a custom invitation for their wedding this November. Gregory is the brother of our past client – Gigi(Jamal), who’s invitations we designed and wedding we coordinated a few years ago. Their chic color scheme included – rich navy, platinum and silver. Carla liked the idea of a square layered invitation completed with a glitter belly band and logo. We used textured white card stock for all elements including the main invitation and other pieces. The outer envelope consisted of navy shimmer that was lined with the same silver shimmer paper used for the bellyband. Carla LOVED the complete invitation! Instead of a reply card with envelope – we created a reply post card that worked perfectly and saved the couple on postage. For more information on this or other Titus Print invitations, please contact us at hello@titusprint.com or Angela Malicki at 267.253.0573

Katherine + Andrew – Hotel Monaco Philadelphia – Old St. Mary’s – Philadelphia Wedding And Event Planner – Angela MALICKI Events

With this cold weather hitting us, it’s nice to look back on the weddings we had the opportunity to work on this past summer. It was a beautiful June day when the lovely couple Katherine and Andrew became husband and wife. The couple, along with the bridal party, started at Hotel Monaco in Old City getting ready for their special day. Everybody looked amazing and filled the day with celebration and happiness for the newly weds. Katie’s Romana Kreveza gown fit her beautifully and matched perfectly with the bridesmaids short lavender dresses.

As Katie and her bridesmaids were finishing up getting ready with Eric, I was over with Andrew and the groomesmen pinning boutineers for my first time ( successfully did not poke anybody)! The groomesmen and I arrived first at Old St. Mary’s Church with transportation provided by King’s Limo. With the guests settled and bridal party all lined up, it was time to start the ceremony! Andrew stood at the alter with his groomesmen smilling ear to ear as he watched Katherine and her father walk slowly down the aisle – it was truly beautiful!

After the ceremony, the couple and bridal party headed to Washington Sqaure Park for pictures with Joe Foley Photography. The rest of the guests headed over to the Stratus Lounge at Hotel Monaco for a cocktail hour to enjoy delicious appetizers and refreshments while looking over Philadelphia on a rooftop. CTO Artists provided the guests with a beautiful string arrangement to help set the mood. I went with the couple and Joe Foley Photography to City Hall for some finals shots as the bridal party joined the rest of the guests. Everybody passing by the newly weds shouted a “Congratulations!” making the day even more merry.

The ballroom turned out looking absolutely breathtaking with the help of Angela and Hotel Monaco. The color theme consisted of a light purple, ivory, and black. A Modern Touch florist provided the center pieces with white and pink roses along with purple peonies – they really brought the room together! Ciao Bella Cakes made a delicious five tier cake that had flowers which matched the center pieces. At the end of dinner, each table was given a tray of delectable italian cookies from the brides mother Gabbie. Outside of the ballroom had a table set up with family photos for guests to view as they walked into the reception area.

The couple really pumped up the party when they entered the reception to the song Bring Em Out by TI! DJ Bizz kept the dance floor moving and grooving all night long. Katie slipped on her custom Tom’s for some fun dancing. It was such a pleasure to see the newly weds so happy and celebrating with their loved ones!

Marykate + Dan – Hotel Monaco Philadelphia, Part 1 – St. John Media – Philadelphia Wedding and Event Planner – Angela MALICKI events

We had the pleasure of working with Marykate and Dan on their summer wedding this past June. As most of our couples, planning a wedding beginning to end is not an easy task, especially with little time in the day. MK’s parents had reached out to us in the spring, being that they never worked with a planner (on their son’s wedding), they didn’t know how our services would work. Ironically, Marykate, Dan and her parents visited our wedding set up at the Hotel Monaco last July for Amanda and Frank – it was meant to be!

The couple had many of their key professionals picked with the exception of a few. We gave them a few suggestions on who we thought would be a good fit. The event was a success, the couple and family couldn’t have been happier and everything went off without a hitch.

We started at the parents home in Media where Duo Make Up artistry started with the hair stylists. In the background, the Beatles were playing and the sound of Marykate’s niece Ela was laughing and having a great time with the bride to be. Mom helped Marykate in her Waters lace gown and completed the look with her sparkly Jimmy Choo heels. She was cool as a cucumber, that is until dad saw her for the first time walking down the steps – my favorite part!

Outside was her “special car”, a vintage rolls royce, waiting to take her to St. John’s in Media. With the church packed and Dan eager to see his bride – we started the processional ending with the bride being escorted by her parents. The couple exited the church in a bubble send off after followed by a few pictures in the church. They headed into the city for additional photos then ended at the Hotel Monaco for their lovely cocktail party and reception.

Cocktails took place at the Stratus Rooftop Lounge – if you haven’t been to this hidden gem, please make a trip to the city and enjoy the view! Guests loved the food and atmosphere, most importantly, the couple relaxing and taking it all in.

In the ballroom, we worked closely with the couple on designing the perfect space. I made a few suggestions on the centerpieces and incorporated more color in the ballroom. We worked with Eventions productions on the lighting and had colored linens that matched the invitations and overall scheme of the wedding. Marykate and Dan love doing puzzles, that’s where we had the idea of incorporating the puzzle pieces on the invitation and use it as a logo. The handmade paper  design we used for the invitation was then utilized on the cake – which was designed by Ciao Bella Cakes in Hatboro.

It was such a pleasure getting to see the couples reactions when we gave them a sneak peak of their room before the guests! They loved seeing how everything came together along with their delicous cake made by Ciao Bella Cakes. As they practiced their first dance, I couldn’t help but feel proud of my team and how amazing the event turned out. Below you can view the beautiful details from the reception.

Art Deco Invitation – Marigold + Malachite – Cairnwood Mansion – Philadelphia Stationery Designer – Philadelphia Wedding Planner – Titus Print – Angela MALICKI events

Looking back this past year, we designed several amazing invitations for many unique couples. We had the pleasure of meeting Celeste and her mom Mary Alice at Cairwood’s open house (Bryn Athyn, PA) in spring.  I met with them at their lovely home to discuss invitation options. Jamie and Celeste wanted something that would correspond with their theme of the wedding including colors and style.  The girls were wearing malachite blue dresses with accents of yellow. I started sketching a few options for them that would connect all details including type fonts.

They loved the idea of using my drawing of Cairnwood,  which was auctioned at a charity event a year prior, for their thank you notes. The invitation consisted of three layers. The top printed layer was 2 color flat and pantone matched to the bottom layer and the color in the handmade paper which was used for the lining and the middle layer. The paper used was a Natural White linen in 120lb cover. I love the texture of paper and rarely use smooth card stock unless requested by the client.Many clients love the idea of textured card stock as it feels nice to the touch.

The couple opted for a reply postcard with their return address and entrée selection. We utilized the Cairnwood Mansion drawing for their thank you notes and added the couples name to personalize it.

Hint: Using a postcard instead of the reply card with matching envelope will save money with postage and the total weight of the invitation. You can save .15 by doing so.

 

We really enjoyed designing this invitation as it is truly custom and unique. If you are interested in something like this, drop us a line or email us at hello@titusprint.com or 267.253.0573

PLEASE stay in touch!

Why are all these my Fall MUST have items? Philadelphia Wedding and Event Planner – Angela MALICKI events

These are a few of my MUST have items for the fall season.

As you all know, or don’t know – I’m a cosmetic and luxury skin care junkie. I love everything about this time of year, except – dry skin and dull make up. I want to share a few of my favorite skin care items and other luxuries , well 15 to be exact that you’ll fall in love with to.

Working in luxury for many years, I’ve learned a few things about what works and what doesn’t. We all spend tons of money on the latest gimmicks and falsely advertised products, that end up with a drawer or bin full of hopeless promises. Instead of hitting your local cosmetic mega store and getting overwhelmed by the bright lights and crowded aisles, I’ll give you my top picks and why I LOVE these items so much. Most of these products can be found at your luxury retailers and online stores. I love shopping at Nordstrom and Neiman Marcus for a few and Sephora for others.

If you abused your skin during the summer, by over tanning or just partying too much – rejuvenate your skin and take it easy this winter. If you’re getting ready for your wedding or a special event, start now, most skin care products take about 4 months until you see results. Rome wasn’t built in a day people!

 

Here are my Top picks and why:

Starting from left to right top to bottom:

Kevin Aucoin  – Sculpting powder – Gives you the illusion that you have a chiseled jawline like Kim K.  and J.Lo.

Chanel  – Le Weekend – You abused your skin during the week from your stressful job, not enough sleep and dehydration. You use this product twice a month only and you eliminate your other skincare items.

Diptyque  – Feu de Bois Candle – seriously it smells like burning firewood, enough said!

AmorePacific – Cushion Compact – I’m not a foundation person but this healthy glow compact offers SPF 50 with light color. Perfect for a fresh face look.

La Mer – Revitalizing Mask – If your skin is feeling a bit dehydrated and you need an extra boost. This mask also tightens and brightens your skin at the same time.

MAC –  Viva Glam Rihanna Red – It’s the perfect red with a hint of gold shimmer. Your doing good as proceeds go to AIDS research.

Tom Ford – Tuscan Leather Cologne – Once again, the sexiest fragrance and its unisex. If Drake loves it, well, I love it too:)

Nars – Orgasm Blush – It’s the perfect once size fits all blush. Anyone can wear it !” Ang what blush are you wearing – Orgasm”.

Lancome – Genefique – It’s a Youth activating serum that can be worn with other serums. I can’t live without it.

Anastasia Beverly Hills – Brow Wiz – The easiest and quickest way to shape your brows when you don’t have any.

Trish McEvoy – Instant Eye Lift – This is another must have and I carry it in my bag all the time. It contains hyaluronic acid so it hydrates and it brightens. Create the triangle of light and your good to go.

Kevin Aucoin – Celestial Bronzer – I love this bronzer because of the light reflectors in it. I pair with the sculpting powder to give a contoured look.

Alterna Caviar – CC 10 – This is the band-aid product that repairs all damage you’ve done to your hair.

AmorePacific – Time Response Eye Cream – OBSESSED with this eye cream, tackles all 5 signs of aging around the eye area – I’m a believer and it works.

Lancome  – Grandiose Mascara – The only swan like wand that makes your lashes look like extensions. I wear mine with the matching primer.

 

xo, and happy shopping:)
