Gold foil + letterpress + all the greenery means this wedding and their custom stationery *might* just be one of my all time favorites! As Katie + Elliott’s 1st anniversary is fast approaching (HAPPY ANNIVERSARY Y”ALL!) I thought it might be time for me to stop hoarding all their beautiful images to myself and actually share their wedding love story!

I’m pretty sure I got goosebumps the first time Katie and I talked! I had serious love for her wedding inspiration, a romantic, vintage-bohemian-chic outdoor wedding with a color palette of off white, wine, greenery and gold. Katie + Elliott really wanted their wedding to be an intimate and family oriented affair that made their guests feel loved. I love that Katie + Elliott embraced that a wedding is not just about two people getting married but two families becoming one, it’s about honoring your most loved and dear friends and family for making the journey to support you as you commit yourselves to each other. Every detail was purposefully thought through and Katie + Elliott truly honored each of their guests.

Katie + Elliott’s custom bespoke save the date set the stage for their stunning wedding! Vintage botanical illustrations on soft cotton paper with hand torn deckled edges were the perfect introduction for their guests to their wedding.

Their incredible bespoke wedding stationery suite centered around the double thick letterpress and gold foil invitation with wine edge paint. The invitation was paired with a green letterpress reply card, a vintage botanical illustration liner in the most perfect green envelope with gold calligraphy and hand applied gold leaf edging. They invited every guest to after dinner drinks, such a sweet gesture for all their guests, so we included an insert card printed in wine colored ink to let their guests know.

Virginia Vineyard Styled Shoot with Charlottesville Tuesdays Together Wedding Vendors

Bespoke Wedding Stationery | Calligraphy | Charlottesville, Virginia

Virginia Vineyard Wedding styled shoot- www.homeonthefarmstead.com- Rachel May Photography

I love designing custom wedding stationery for styled shoots because I have the opportunity to design something I haven’t done yet, creatively stepping outside the box, and I get to meet other wedding vendors. As a one woman shop working from home, it can often get a little lonely and stir-crazy. After we moved to Charlottesville I happened upon the local Tuesdays Together group through The Rising Tide Society, a group of creative entrepreneurs who meet on, you guessed it, Tuesdays, to learn, grow and encourage each other. I knew after my first meeting I had found my people, especially with their mantra of Community over Competition! It was so refreshing to meet other entrepreneurs who were going through the same thing I am and are also in the same industry. The Charlottesville Tuesdays Together group put together a unique styled shoot, that I was more than happy to contribute to! Since there are so many talented creatives in Charlottesville, the contributors weren’t limited to just one per category which allowed everyone to participate.

Arriving to the venue I was a ball of nerves! I had only met a few other vendors at other meetings and I didn’t even know if they would be there! It was like walking into a new school on the first day! But everyone was so nice and welcoming that I quickly felt comfortable with all these new friends! Since there were so many different vendors collaborating on this styled shoot, there were several different stations and vignettes set up and photographers were split up into different groups to rotate through each station. I had the pleasure of collaborating on two suites for the shoot and while the color palette was pops of teal and pink balanced by simple neutrals, I love how each suite had their own personalities!

The first wedding invitation suite I collaborated with Jodi of Jodi Macfarlan Calligraphy for the calligraphy details and Gina Langford for the watercolor details and I have to say I am STILL obsessed with the hand deckled, watercolor wedding suite that I designed! The details, like the watercolor crest tag wrapped in silk ribbon, hand illustrated map and watercolor envelope liner, combine to really bring this suite to life!

The second wedding invitation suite I collaborated with Michelle of Ma Belle Calligraphy  for the calligraphy details and our fabric invitation suite definitely made a statement! Creative, out of the box ideas really inspire me especially when untraditional elements are used. I challenged myself to use fabric for this suite (hey my first job was at a fabric store, it’s only fitting!) and this custom fabric wedding invitation is the result.

Besides meeting some of my closest Charlottesville friends at this shoot, my favorite part was seeing how each vendor lent their talents and how they interpreted the styled shoot. Even though the vignettes and stations were the same for the photographers, seeing how each photographer put their own spin on the images was amazing! The angle, small details in styling and the editing from each photographer made every album feel like a different shoot and not one shoot. And in true spirit of The Rising Tide Society and the Tuesdays Together groups, this styled shoot really demonstrates how community over competition can be achieved by working together to create beauty!

Creative retreats are absolutely essential for my business

Creative Retreat | Society for Creative Founders | Pensacola, Flordia

farmstead design studio - Anna Filly Photography Pensacola Florida Photographer

Attending retreats, specifically creative retreats are instrumental in the success of my business. As a solopreneur I am not only the designer but I’m also the CEO, customer service, accountant, shipping and production departments. I spend a good chunk of time working IN my business but it’s often hard to set aside time (and to actually stick to it!) to work on my business. I have found attending creative retreats allows me the time, space and encouragement to work ON my business. It’s imperative for the health of a business to work on where your business is, where’s it’s going and planning on how to achieve those goals. My other favorite aspect of attending a retreat or conference is the camaraderie and networking with other like-minded business owners. After working from home by myself it’s also so refreshing to meet and connect with other creatives who understand what you are going through and can be a support for you and your business.

This past January I attended a small group Alumni Retreat with the Society for Creative Founders at a beach house in Pensacola, Fl. I was first introduced to SCF in the spring of 2017 when I attended the annual SCF conference (which I highly recommend!) where I absolutely feel in love with the women and community. I knew I had found a place I could learn, grow and connect with other boss ladies. So when Kristin, the owner of SCF and an amazing stationery designer of Grace and Serendipity, sent out details for an Alumni Retreat in January 2018 with 8-10 women I immediately knew this was going to be something I HAD to attend! I’ve attended several conferences over the years but this was my first small group retreat and I have to say I absolutely loved it! The small group setting really allowed us to delve into each other’s businesses and help each other grow, evolve and shift in our businesses. There were 8 of us and what was truly special is that each of our businesses were different which allowed an amazing opportunity to have different perspectives and backgrounds helping each other.

Our retreat started on a Friday where everyone arrived to the beach house, which obviously was gorgeous and only one block from the ocean! We spent some time getting to know each other and our businesses before diving into reflecting on the past year in our business and outlooks for 2018. Saturday was my favorite day where we took time to delve into each of our businesses with hot seats to receive feedback or help in a problem or challenge in our business. I really loved contributing to the others businesses and helping them think about things they hadn’t considered or just needed permission for. On the flip side it was so helpful to tell others about my business, challenges, fears and vulnerabilities and receive feedback from others who aren’t in my business day in and day out. We had individual planning time to work on our plans for 2018 and revising our business from our hot seat before we headed out to dinner. Sunday we took some time to continue refining our 2018 plans and then shared our plans with the group who gave us feedback on our plans. After all that hard work we had a headshot and photoshoot session, including a few pictures at the beach, with Anna of Anna Filly Photography, who is just the sweetest, kindest and most bubbly person you will ever meet! I first met Anna at the SCF conference last year so it was so nice to be able to see and work with her again. I seriously LOVE every single photo Anna took and am so excited to share the images she captured, not only of me in my element but also the little baby bump that started to peek out! Monday morning I decided to end the wonderful retreat weekend by watching the sunrise on the beach. Growing up in Southern California and going to college in San Diego I have always had a connection to the ocean and am always in awe of it beauty and power. I am so glad I woke up early and made the trip to the beach. It was so refreshing and rejuvenating to just sit and watch mother nature while reflecting on the weekend and my plans to implement when I got home.

After I attend a creative retreat or conference I always have that fired up and focused mindset that I want to bottle up and keep as long as possible. I’ve found writing when I get home about my feelings, discoveries, ideas and plans from the retreat help me to keep that feeling for as long as possible and when I need a boost I can go back and read it as a reminder. Attending this Alumni Retreat was unlike any creative retreat I’ve attended before and having the dedicated time to focus on working on your business not in your business to plan, grow, pivot, scale or better your business with the collaborative help of a small group of like minded creative women was just perfect! This group of women are absolutely incredible and are doing amazing things! I highly encourage you to check them all out in the links below! If you’re thinking of attending a conference or retreat but you’re on the fence, do it! I’ve never regretted attending and have learned something new everytime, sometimes about my business, sometimes about myself. Is it too early to think about the next creative retreat?!

My first wedding stationery styled shoot was a dream come true

 Bespoke Wedding Stationery | Calligraphy | Charlottesville, Virginia

madeline-stuart-charlottesville-wedding-stationery-calligraphy_19

My very first styled shoot designing a custom bespoke wedding invitation was a whirlwhird of amazing! I was moving to a new state (hello Virginia!) with a toddler and a burgeoning stationery and calligraphy business which is always a little crazy. I hadn’t even started unpacking yet when I saw a post through the Charlottesville Rising Tide Society looking for a Charlottesville wedding stationery designer to design an invitation suite for an upcoming styled shoot. I swallowed my fear and responded back that I would love to contribute.

I had never done a styled shoot before, I literally hadn’t met a single Virginia wedding vendor yet and my computer, along with the rest of my life, was in boxes, but I didn’t let any of that hold me back! I was overjoyed when Isadora of Rixey Manor said they wanted me to design the invitation suite and collaborate with Anna of Simply Handwritten by Anna for the calligraphy. I couldn’t believe it, my very first styled shoot! I immediately sat down and started sketching ideas for the suite. Anna created some beautiful spot calligraphy I used throughout pieces of the suite and she even painted the watercolor crest that complemented the design perfectly. I fell in love with the design aesthetic of the shoot particularly because it mirrored Farmstead’s branding so well.

It was already a dream styled shoot, allowing me to delve creatively into ideas I hadn’t had the chance to showcase before (hello deckled edge!) and then a week before the shoot I received the timeline for the day titled “Madeline Stuart Photoshoot”. I didn’t think much of it until a few days before when I decided maybe I should google Madeline Stuart and see what comes up . . . um am I doing my very first styled shoot with a world renowned fashion model?! A model looking to change society’s perception of beauty and spread her message of acceptance? Why yes, yes I am! To say I was excited is an understatement!

I could hardly contain myself on the drive to the shoot! I was in awe I was participating in my first styled shoot, meeting vendors in my new area, delivering one of my all time favorite invitation suites and about to witness history! I briefly met Madeline and her mom before she was whisked away for hair and makeup, and Madeline was just the sweetest! You could see her genuine enthusiasm for modeling and she literally lit up the room!

Obviously the shoot went fantastic and once the photos were published, y’all the response was overwhelming! We literally broke the internet! The shoot was featured in dozens of media sources all across the world from People to Huffington Post to Wedding Chicks and even CNN. And Nugen Media made a beautiful behind the scenes video, with an awesome shot of the invitation suite at 0:14! So all in all this styled shoot was a dream come true on many fronts and beyond compare for this wedding stationery designer!
