Pancakes and Paper

Pancakes and Paper

What better way to share the process of paper than over pancakes? We thought it was a fabulous idea so we held our first “Pancakes and Paper”, a gathering for planners to learn about the PWI custom process. Some of our favorite Atlanta planners gathered on a beautiful morning at StudioWed Atlanta and shared an awesome start to the morning prepared by Black Tie Catering. Pancakes, just like our custom stationery, were made to order and included chocolate chip pancakes, buttermilk pancakes, and pancakes topped with apples and peaches. We enjoyed taking this opportunity to make our process better to understand for the planners that we love serving! Brian Green of F&G Weddings and Michelle Gainey of Lemiga Events also shared their insight on the wedding planning scene here in Atlanta.

Ahh, pancakes and paper…what a winning combination!
Special thanks to Morgan of HA! Photography for shooting the event for us!

Marvelous Mayhem!

Marvelous Mayhem!
This May, we are excited to feature five lovely couples who have allowed us to fulfill their papered dreams. We hope each of these couples’ designs may inspire you just as they have inspired us.
Amy Rancier and Greg Goodrich
Amy and Greg were  joined in Holy Matrimony last weekend and we know that their wedding was as fabulous as they are. The Ritz-Carlton was glowing with purple and platinum and their love surely added just the right amount of sparkle. Their wedding monogram is modern, simple, and elegant. It showcases that while Amy and Greg are individuals, together they are stronger and much more prominent. Amy’s stationery included a 5×5 pocketfold for their wedding invitation and their wedding day stationery included a slender and sleek program design. We were blessed to share in this papered journey with Amy and Greg and it is our prayer that their marriage is forever blessed with love, joy, and peace.
Congratulations Amy and Greg!
We look forward to sharing photos of their beautiful stationery soon.

Loyalty is Timeless!

Loyalty is Timeless!

During our tenth year of service, it is important for us to not only renew our commitment to excellence and quality service, but to also extend our heartfelt appreciation to those persons who make this anniversary celebration so very special. We have learned that true loyalty is timeless and therefore, we decided to embrace ten clients who have validated that very fact. During an intimate evening, we shared dinner, laughter, and memories of service. It was indeed a pleasure to share with these individuals outside of the confines of work. We wanted to ensure that we were able to show a token of appreciation to these ten wonderful people. However, we soon realized that in as much we wanted to bless them, their presence and belief in our vision blessed us beyond measure. The experience was truly purely wondrous inspiration!

Custom Table Linens provided by I Do Linens.

Each guest received a CD with our Top Ten Songs of Inspiration.

Each guest also received a leather portfolio with our 10 Year Logo foiled stamped in silver.

Dinner was provided by our friends at Black Tie Full Service Catering.

Simple, elegant and chic decor provided by Floral Couture.

 

Entertainment was provided by our favorite saxophonist in Atlanta, Mike Jones of Groove Centric.

The place cards were velvet bags filled with chocolate.

The program for the evening.

 

Stay tuned as we will share more details about this very special event including each of our guests. Special thanks to Michelle Gainey of Lemiga Events and StudioWed. And last, certainly not least, thanks to Tracey Brown of Tracey Brown Photography who captured all the details of the evening.

2011 is an important year for Papered Wonders, Inc. This year, we celebrate ten years of service! Our year-long celebration is certainly not complete without those who have desired “papered wonders” throughout the last decade- our clients. We decided to begin this celebratory year with ten clients who have believed in our vision, funneled our passion, and embraced our unending commitment to excellent service. We shared an intimate evening with these individuals and thought we’d share a teaser of the magic of the evening…more to come!

Some Secrets Should Be Shared!

Some Secrets Should Be Shared!

On February 12, we had the awesome pleasure of attending a Secret Supper hosted by Black Tie Barbecue. This full service catering company is a fresh approach to Atlanta’s culinary scene. The evening, held at Millennium Gate, began with cocktails and musical entertainment as we gave ourselves a bit of a history lesson inside of the hidden treasure that is Millennium Gate. We were then invited to the dinner table, where we enjoyed masterpiece after masterpiece. From their signature Black Tie salad to a delectable spinach and shrimp pasta to a decadent chocolate cake that provided the greatest moment of indulgence, we enjoyed an evening full of culinary delight. In addition, we met some wonderful people, engaged in great conversation, and were privileged to receive top notch customer service from the Black Tie catering staff.

Although the location of this event remained a secret until shortly before it was to commence, it is no secret that Black Tie has definitely made its presence known!

The amazing Black Tie Signature Salad!
