Thank heaven for little girls...
.
Last night, I announced we are launching our first ever birth announcement collection, and y’all were so excited! My heart is SO happy today! As promised, I’ll be showing each announcement to you daily until we launch this Friday! .
This is the very first one I designed in the collection, which makes it my favorite! Sweet little storks perched on either side, and a full floral swag...loved building this crest!
.
Our announcements will be available in your choice of ink color, and will come with envelopes with printed return addresses! All set and ready to mail 💌
.

It’s been a day of announcements...
How about one more?
.
Proudly announcing Empress Baby! A collection of thoughtfully designed birth announcements created for your newest arrival ✨
.
When I established Empress over ten years ago, I wanted it to have the ability to grow with each of my clients through life’s milestones. Engagement. Marriage. Home. Baby. LIFE. As my team has grown, I’ve been able to make my original plan a reality. Empress Baby is another step into that overall vision.
.
In the coming months, I’ll be adding more to this line! Baptism and Christening invitations, Shower invitations, Stationery, and more! And if you have an idea of something you’d love to see, tell me! .

I’ll be unveiling each of our ten announcements as the week goes on, and then...they officially launch on our website Friday! 🙌🏻 .
I love y’all to pieces! Thank you for ALL THE LOVE you showed us today for Samuel, it blew us away 💙 •

First comes love 💕 Then comes marriage 👰🏼🤵🏻...
.
Tyler and I are so happy to share a little something with you...we will be welcoming our son in November! Sweet Samuel, you are already so incredibly loved, and prayed for. I can’t wait to hold you in my arms in four short months! 💙💙💙 .
We can already tell from the ultrasound that Sam has his daddy’s long legs and the exact same feet ☺️ It’s amazing to watch (and feel!) this little soul grow! .

One of my favorite pieces of mine and Tyler’s wedding suite was our program. Designed as a tri-fold, and sealed with wax and silk, it was a beauty! 😍 Our ceremony was the emphasis of the day, and the programs were meant to be part of that experience for our guests.
.
Celebrating our anniversary with a quick getaway to Atlanta! Waking up to room service breakfast @ritzcarltonatlanta 🙌🏻 and headed to the aquarium in a bit! 🐠 .
Happy Monday loves!

“I wanna rock your gypsy soul
Just like way back in the days of old
And together we will float
Into the mystic” — Van Morrison .
Tyler and I celebrate a YEAR of marriage today. I can’t begin to describe my love for this man. This past year has brought more blessings than we can count, and as we sit here, about to try a few bites of our year-old wedding cake, I pray for so many more blessings in the years to come. .
I love you Boo. You’re my heart (and he always says, “You’re my soul”). ✨

Modern type setting with a touch of the ornamental. Loving this variation of the Ingrid suite in bronze ink ✨ •

A golden suite for Casey + Paul ✨
.
The countdown is on for these two! Four more days until this @beckysbrides couple says I Do. .
Our Elizabeth suite brings a little modern touch to the table, with an asymmetrical hand drawn wreath and pretty border. This is my first time seeing it in foil and I’m in love 😍 To top that off, we used double thick cotton paper for all three pieces in the suite 🙌🏻
.

I got so excited when the idea of a custom watercolor envelope liner was brought in to the design plan 💌 Give me all the white blooms and greenery!

So I posted our wedding invitation suite earlier...wondering how Tyler and I saved our date? With these pretties right here! ☝🏻💙
.
I knew I wanted our monogram to carry through out the suite and our wedding day pieces. So I had to start it on the save the dates! I had them pressed with the same pale blue ink as the invitation suite, with the same shade of pale blue for the invitations. .
My favorite part though, was our engagement pic on the back, from our AMAZING wedding photographer @mary_margaret_smith ☺️☺️☺️ That was the COLDEST day ever. And here I am barefoot on top of a mountain. I remember neither of us could breathe we were so cold. But totally worth it. I’ll treasure our engagement pictures for the rest of my life. They were THAT GOOD! 🙌🏻
I’ll share some more of them in my stories! •

This is so crazy, y’all.
.
It’s been a whole YEAR since Tyler and I began our wedding week! 😳 This first year of marriage I feel like has gone by in a flash. But boy, what a year it’s been!
.
I’ll be sharing some of my favorite moments from our day all week (I’m already getting pretty teary-eyed looking back on our pics 😭) but first, our wedding suite! The best thing I heard from our guests is that the wedding paper perfectly set the tone for our day. That is my FAVORITE thing to hear from my brides with their invitations, and it was the top goal with our suite. .
I also have to say I was definitely the most difficult client I’ve ever had 😂
.
Our suite featured soft pale blue letterpress, a blind pressed monogram, a floral watercolor wreath painted by my sister, and everything delicately wrapped in vellum, tied with silk ribbon, and sealed with our monogram. The pale blue envelopes were addressed by one of my favorite people @therefinedpen ☺️☺️ in white ink. Oh! And our invitations had soft blue edge painting. A subtle touch that really wows our clients that come visit the studio and hold our invitation. I’m so glad we added that little finish!
.
Expect more sentimental posts from me this week 😘 Happy Monday, loves!

“You belong among the wildflowers
You belong somewhere close to me” —Tom Petty 💙
.
That shade of Jade...Marion and Christopher’s Suite is pressed in one of the most gorgeous ink colors on our color palette, and they are the very first clients to request it 🙌🏻 Marion requested the Eugenia suite, but with the florals of the Vivienne suite, and I was like “Um, YES PLEASE!” So perfect for an evening wedding in June! •

Y’all it has been. a. MINUTE since I’ve had one of my #fridayintroductions! Let’s fix that☺️
.
For anyone who’s new around here, I’m Jess! I’m the one behind these little squares, and with the help of my amazing team, we design all the pretty paper you see here! .
✨ This week’s fun fact: my husband Tyler (who you’ll see me refer to as “Boo” 💙) and I just bought our first house and moved in this week! Moving is not my fave. But decorating is! If I was not designing paper, I would work in interiors. I LOVE home design! So I’m ready to get started on ours. Follow my stories for updates with the house! 🏡 .
✨ What am I currently working on? We have a collection of something new brewing here at Empress that is getting ready to launch (by the end of the month! 🙌🏻) and I’m literally bursting at the seams and wanting to tell you all about it 😉 So stay tuned for that big announcement and some giveaways to go with it!
.
✨ I’m also SO EXCITED to be an educator with the first ever @stationerssummit! I’ve connected with so many of you that are interested in becoming a stationer, or already a stationer. This online course is perfect for anyone just getting started, wanting to brush up, or just be inspired! As far as the other educators on board, I’m honored to be in the company of some of the BEST in the biz. Watch my stories next week for a feature on these super talented ladies and what they will be teaching! .
I hope you’ve got some cool ❄️ weekend plans for this first official weekend of summer, cause it’s HOT! Happy Friday loves! .

Pretty floral vignettes making our Vera suite so pretty and fresh for Spring 2020...and yes ma’am we are definitely already booking our Spring #EmpressBrides! 🙌🏻 .
I’ve been working on some optional florals for our classic suites, and this one is one of my faves! And don’t you know you’d wow your guests when they open that monogram lined envelope? 😍💌
.
I’d love to know, what are some other options you’d love to see with our wedding suites? Tell me tell me!👇🏻
