tangerine and teal wedding inspiration board

Posted on March 23, 2012 by Brandi Galuzzi

i LOVE orange and have been adoring all the fun color palettes that include my favorite exuberant hue. i was talking to someone recently about how you could pull off an orange and blue wedding if you use the right shades. in today’s inspiration board i paired tangerine with teal, but i also think blueish gray or slate would be an amazing complimentary color as well.

4. guest book display: archive vintage rentals 5. cake: yummy cupcakes and cakes

andy and debbie

Posted on October 13, 2010 by Brandi Galuzzi

hi friends, i wanted to post some lovely photos of my cousin’s wedding, which i traveled out to in michigan. i will probably add more to this as the photographer makes them available. their wedding was shot by bryan and mae photography. amazing.

the beautiful couple • debbie was a stunning bride • nate, me and some cousins at the goof booth • mustaches • andy and one of his flower girls

i love the idea of the goof booth, even with no props. it still provides a chance to get photos of the friends and family who attend your wedding and have a bit more character to them.

blue bridal couture

Posted on September 21, 2010 by Brandi Galuzzi

back in april, we worked with blue bridal couture to design invitations for a brides head revisited trunk show at their shop in the denver pavilions. we worked with a blue that matches their branding and screen printed the design on chipboard.

for all you brides looking for that perfect dress, we LOVE the ladies over at blue. blue bridal is a chic, contemporary boutique, located in the heart of downtown denver. locally owned and operated by two young women, they offer exquisite designer gowns, at surprisingly delightful prices. most of their designers are exclusive to their boutique in colorado, which means you won’t see the same gowns anywhere else.

here are some beautiful photos of their brand new shop downtown:

Quality Hill Bridal Show

Posted on February 15, 2010 by Brandi Galuzzi

We had a wonderful time at our first bridal show back on Jan 31st at the beautiful Grant Humphreys Mansion here in Denver. We got a chance to connect with a handful of wedding vendors [Blue Bridal Couture, Denver Makeup Guru, SIP Fine Wine & Spirits] and spoke with so many brides and couples about their wedding invitations.

We were lucky enough to receive a handful of pictures of our booth from Marilee Photography. She stopped by our booth a few times to capture some detail shots. Now we can show you Lauren’s old typewriter, our handmade chicken-wire frame and fun screen printed wooden business “cards.” Thank you so much Marilee for sharing your pictures with us!
