old edwards inn wedding

I made a trip to The Old Edwards Inn, a hotel & spa tucked in the mountains of North Carolina, about two years ago when we were living in Greenville. It was so beautiful I didn't want to leave. So when Laurie, a friend of a friend, called us up looking for help with her wedding materials we were thrilled to hear she'd chosen this unique spot. Sight unseen, she and her groom had picked the Inn just based on recommendations. Brave girl and smart decision, because it's seriously gorgeous.

Laurie (in New York) relayed everything she was looking for to me (in Dallas), while Currier (in Nashville) got to work on her sketch pad. Wow! Makes me beyond thankful for the internet! Between the 3 of us, we came up with some lovely designs for Laurie & Grant's big day. Obviously the location played a big role. So much nature and texture to work with. Plus, Laurie wanted to do something really fun for the Save The Date, since her invitation would be more traditional.

We also designed some welcome bags with this same illustration. As a guest, I love getting a little welcome package. It's a detail that really goes a long way in making folks feel special.


Laurie & Grant needed some thank you notes to send out after showers and parties. Her family has lived in Hong Kong for 15 years and it's also where the couple got engaged, so we water-colored the "double happiness" symbol. We tied the bright coral color from the invitations back in and these will be great even after the big day. IMG_2700 IMG_2682 IMG_2696 See more pics from the wedding at Ali Harper Photography

Sometimes you want to update the "look" of your business without abandoning your original branding. That's where we Hens can help. TNAJ had some outdated business materials that needed a fresh look. We worked with their original logo and re-designed their business cards, letterhead, and envelopes. Now they're really ready for the capitol steps when session rolls around!

healthcare partnership

We blog a lot about invitations, but one of our biggest ongoing projects is our partnership with Jarrard Inc. They're a group of healthcare public relations experts in Nashville and they bring us in when one of their clients needs new collateral, signage, or advertising. It's great, because they act as account manager and we get to be the behind the scenes designers. One of our ongoing projects involves Tennessee Health Management. They have over 50 facilities for rehabilitation, skilled nursing, and hospice. Here's just a tiny bit of some new designs we've got in the works.
Another thing we handle for them is printing. With over 50 facilities, there are a lot of versions to keep up with, but we have a great system with a local Nashville printer that can handle the load. If you've never seen a large job like this print, it will give you a whole new appreciation for the process.
