Red Ginger Wedding Invitations

The last issue of For the Bride magazine featured some of my wedding invitations. One of them had a red ginger on it. Ironically enough, this picture is one I took of a red ginger flower in my very own backyard in Hawaii because I couldn't find a nice image of red ginger that I could use for my invitation. I haven't gotten a request for this particular image in quite some time, but one of my clients found my invitations in the Winter 2008 issue of the magazine and asked me to create her 340 wedding invitations using this particular design but utilizing browns and greens. The color combination is absolutely stunning!

I'm in the home stretch of finishing this order. Anything above 100 invitations is a lot of work when there are multiple components. Thank goodness I now have help with the assembly part of the process! Here are a few snapshots of the invitation.

New and Improved DK Designs Business Cards!

I also spent some time redesigning my business cards with my California address and updating it with my new designs. I really wanted to feature more pictures of my flowers so potential clients ca

n get a sense for what I do! I really like the way they came out. They arrive tomorrow, I'm so EXCITED! :) Of course, I had to tout that I was featured on the Martha Stewart Show! How could I not! :)

DK Designs Clay Flower Favors Featured in Summer 2008 Issue of For the Bride Magazine!

I finally was able to pick up the Summer 2008 Issue of For the Bride Magazine. I couldn't find it anywhere in Hawaii. I was so bummed because the editor of the magazine told me my clay flowers were featured in the magazine. I went to Barnes & Nobles today and found my copy! My favor boxes were featured in the Table of Contents and on Page 78 of the magazine. The article was more about special touches, but my clay flower favors were the featured photograph and there are credits inside the binding.

This is huge for DK Designs. The last time I got featured in the magazine for my invitations, I got a 330 wedding invitation order! So it goes to show you that people do read the magazines and even when the credits are in the binding, brides will search you out! I'm hoping that I'll get new inquiries once more brides see the favor boxes! :)

DK Designs Invitations in the Winter 2008 Issue of For the Bride Magazine!

I was fortunate to get another feature of my invitations in the latest issue of For the Bride Magazine! It's on newsstands now!

The article itself is about the "Write Stuff" and what you need to know when deciding on your invitations. There's no mention of DK Designs in the article because it's more about guidelines and tips, but next to the binding it says,
"Invitations: www.dkdesignshawaii.com".

I'm hoping that in the near future, they will feature my clay flowers! :) There is even a great article about the Big Island in this issue.
