A New Journey

September 2012 marked a new journey into the professional world of handmade wedding invitations for Steven and I. Since our wedding in May, I had been going crazy thinking of all of the different designs I could have designed and how many other brides would want to have a hand in the design of their big day invitations. So, when I struggled to find a job right out of college, I just created my own job - by starting this company up! The future might be uncertain, but I absolutely L-O-V-E designing beautiful wedding invitations on beautiful paper. Plus, I'm a sucker for a love story - so each bride I've worked with tells me their own special love story and all of their cute details for their special day. Each stationery design incorporates what is special for that individual person and I just love that... it's such a rewarding job. Anyway, I'll let you all have some sneak peeks into my work a little bit later, but for now, I just wanted to introduce us here at the shop! I know it's corny, but I really do love to meet as clients and leave as friends!

Obviously, I'm the one in the dress - I thought uploading a few wedding pictures would be appropriate since I'm in the wedding business. This is a shot of my dad and I hiding behind a wall, crouching down... nearly crawling... before we went out for our grand entrance down the aisle! It was a pretty entertaining moment, really, we felt so sneaky!

Anyway, I'm a recent graduate from the Smith School of Business at UMD College Park, where I finished up my last few years of college... the first few were at Baylor University up in Waco. Hopefully, I can use my business experience to keep my little business up and running for as long as I can - I'm having too much fun with it as it is! Steven and I were married in May, 2012 - newlyweds! So yes! Vent to me, brides to be... I totally get you. :) I am the designer part of our little team.



Steven Felux

Steven is in front of the Paulaner Microbrewery in Munich when we were visiting my parents. He fell in love with German beer - but then again, who wouldn't!? We had a great time for his birthday here and he came away with a great love of traveling - to Germany at least!

He is my husband and the logistics part of the team - he helps make sure the materials are top notch and delivered on time! He is in the military and has lived in some cool places - Japan, Florida, Maryland (with me too in Maryland!) - he is a very good NCO and I'm lucky to have found such a level headed partner to go into business with!



Lou

Ok - she doesn't do much for our business, but she knows a lot of tricks and she's my dog! Who I love :) She serves as the "watch dog" around the house... the only downside is she only watches for lizards.

Oh, we do not drink coffee from the floor either - we had just moved in our house, so a few things didn't have a home just yet!














Kainen

Kainen is the little guy in the family - but with a big personality! He is Steven's dog, a Sheltie, and he chases all the stray animals off of our property.

So, I suppose his job is to protect us from strays!









Well that's our little family! We look forward to meeting you and hope we can write something worth reading... at least every now and then!
