On Friday, I received the newest issue of Well Wed magazine. It is just gorgeous. Well, to be honest, I feel like each issue gets more and more stunning. But.. how excited was I to see that my Slip-its are featured as one of their “new” favorite discoveries! Can I tell you how giddy I still am?
Well Wed suggests using them for wedding guests, for the bridal party or your sweetheart! I think they are also a great Valentine’s Day gift too. I can’t totally say what I am doing with mine because I know Christopher reads, he did answer the ‘What Type Are You‘ post but you can get yours here.

WellWed: Spring/Summer 2009
The Pink Orange had the opportunity to work on an elegant, yet creative and fun invitation design. It was all about incorporating natural, and green materials into the wedding. The letterpressed invite suite was sent in a moss lined wooden box, made from “found” wood. Each box was custom made, and hand stained to bring out the natural wood grain and knots. The box was created with 2 holes in the top, in which gorgeous 2 inch satin ribbon was used to tie the box shut.
The wedding accessories were also natural and reused materials. Each place card was made with recycled paper and a combination of hand calligraphy and twigs adorned the front of each. The table numbers were created using found pieces of birch bark and hand painted numbers with acrylics.
Using natural or recycled resources can be a fun way to add a twist to your day. Think about the textures and patterns that you will be incorporating, and how they can be used later either in your home or office. Most of all, have fun with it!

The Pink Orange creates a unique place card option using buttons with coordinating ribbon to display each guest´s name along with their table number. Various color and pattern combinations were used to replicate classic winners buttons. The invitation design was a crisp blue and brown letterpress invite on white stock. Each piece was tucked into a custom khaki pocket fold and tied closed with a leather strap. The pocket fold was then inserted into a classic plaid lined envelope.
