marissa and joseph

Marissa knew exactly what she had in mind when we first chatted about her upcoming nuptials to Joseph. Being the organized bride, she shared her Pinterest board with me and it was an absolute delight to ponder over all the details for her wedding day. She chose a brilliant color palette that sets the mood for a chic event, yet with a touch of fine casualness.

I created a custom monogram logo for her to use on the wedding website and weekend materials. I also included a computer sketch of Sacred Heart Chapel where she and Joseph will be married. Using her chosen color palette and information for the wedding, the Save the Date came to life.

Congratulations on your engagement, Marissa and Joseph! Enjoy this time because it flies by. I cannot wait to see all the photos details of your big day in April!

let's get mauied

One year ago I designed a wedding suite for a friend, Becky, who got married in Maui. Yes, Maui :) Could you imagine how awesome it would be to go to Hawaii to vacation all while marrying your best friend while you were there? Pretty awesome if you ask me. In celebration of her one year anniversary, I am FINALLY posting her wedding materials. We covered it all from invitations, stickers, huggers, programs, weekend agendas, cups and more. Her colors were coral, turquoise and ivory. And the native Hawaiian pineapple was themed around her wedding, which she also gave to guests as they arrived in Maui for the week! (Not sure why some of my files are saving white, but you get the picture, hopefully!) It was such a great design experience to work with Becky and I am very honored to post these materials today.

Happy Anniversary Becky and Matt!

What a fun surprise Jessica received from her sister, Jennifer, the week of her wedding. 

Jennifer emailed me explaining that her sister had really wanted to order maps from Rice Designs, so as a wedding gift she wanted to surprise Jessica with a personalized map of her wedding weekend. Not only for a keepsake, but also to give to guests arriving in town for the ceremony.

What a kind and generous gift to give. Sweet sisters :)

rosemary beach

With summer officially being over, I have found myself longing to get back to the beach. And not back to the ol' swimsuit and sun. But to bundle up on a lounge chair and relax. Perfect weather right about now. Not too hot during the day and not too cold at night. Just the perfect time of year to grab a throw and watch the sunset with your toes in the sand.

A new client recently inquired about this hugger and it made me realize how I cannot wait to get back to the beach, even though we just left. Although, I haven't been to Rosemary lately - possible trip to 30A in my future :) Here's hoping!

weddings galore

And while on the Wedding Bandwagon, here are some Wedding Shower and Rehearsal Dinner Invitations!

we're back!

Wow, it's been quite awhile since I last posted anything on Rice Designs blog. Although I have been MIA in the blogging world, I've been up-to-my-ears in new designs & being a new mom... and absolutely loving every minute of it!

To catch you up to speed, let's start with WEDDINGS! These are several weddings that I have designed starting back in the hot days of summer 2010 (that just sounded like soooo long ago saying 2010, but in reality it was just a few months ago). Enjoy!
