We're Giving You The Blues

We like the way Navy Blue pairs with Silver-Grey. Add Blue Larkspur and Hydrangeas and you've got a case of the Blues.

Bling is optional.

Eco-Options include a Beautiful Silk Box and Organic, Renewable and Locally Grown Hydrangea petals. Silk is a Renewable and Biodegradable resource.

Happy Earth Day: Introducing Eco-Options

In celebration of Earth Day 2009 we spotlight 2 invitations that feature a blend of Eco-Options and illustrate the concept of going green gradually. Eco-Options consist of elements and ideas, presented as design options, for creating green, eco-friendly invitations and stationery products. When making a decision to go green it doesn’t necessarily have to be all or nothing. Learn your options then pick the features that fit your style and budget. Petalos di Pauli will give you the facts to help guide you down the right path and honor your pace as you consider your personal eco-strategy.


Embellishing with beautiful blooms is our passion and these lovely ensembles take flora to the next level with mailer boxes cushioned with stunning color-coordinated petals. The use of hand-torn mulberry bark papers add a soft touch to invitations which we confess aren’t perfectly green, but make us none the less proud to bare. Staty tuned for a detailied list of ingredients.


Like it or not, everything we do has an "environmental impact quotient" that measures the risk our actions have on the environment. As earth citizens we should all be mindful about what and how we do things and make an ongoing effort to minimize negative impact. Petalos di Pauli believes in artistic expression with a sense of responsibility to work towards a safer, healthier and better world. With Eco-Options we make it possible to go green gradually and gorgeously.

Pay Me Now Or Pay Me Later

When purchasing postage for my client’s Reply Card Envelopes, a well meaning government agent suggested the forty-two cent LOVE stamps. I expressed to him that with the postage rate increase taking effect May 11th and the client’s reply date set for May 13th, using a Forever Stamp would be the prudent choice. It’s doubtful that every guest reply would be postmarked before the forthcoming rate change or that all lagers would think to make up the difference. Spare yourself the nuisance of having to make good on dozens of “additional postage due” demands by being smart on the front end.

On May 11, 2009 the price for a 1-ounce First-Class Mail stamp will increase from 42¢ to 44¢. Forever Stamps — regardless of when purchased — can always be used to mail 1-ounce letters.

A Chocolate Lover's Anguish

I recently designed TABLE CARDS for a wedding where CHOCOLATE was the THEME for the event. I don’t mean chocolate as in the color brown. I’m referring to that creamy, cocoa confection that melts in your mouth and is tough to resist. I CONFESS, I’m a chocoholic and production of this job was extremely distracting. The couple named guest tables after their favorite treats.

The RECEPTION STATIONERY featured luxurious, textured, cream matte paper. The TABLE CARDS were mounted on a rich, textured chocolate cardstock. Don’t they look scrumptious?


What is the most creative theme for table names that you’ve heard of? You can enter your comment at the end of this post.

Fortunately, a beautiful and well-stocked candy bar was readily available to satisfy all cravings.

From PLACE CARDS, MENUS, TABLE CARDS and PROGRAMS, Petalos di Pauli can design matching stationery essentials to give your entire event a polished feel.

A Soolip Wedding 2009

Today marks a week since I attended this wedding showcase event. Since then, I've learned that when it comes to sharing pictures my memory card is a lot bigger than my window of opportunity. I apologize for the lapse. Here is the last group of photos, which begins with a series of shots highlighting the masterpiece of Patina Wedding. I love beautiful food and this melding of floral and edible art was a sight to behold.

My customers appreciate products that are hand-crafted and well designed so I included pictures of the beautiful dinnerware displayed by HEATH CERAMICS. Consider them for your bridal registry. Here is a link to their website where you can see their work and learn about the company's history and values; really impressive.

A Soolip Wedding 2009

As promised, here are more images captured last Sunday afternoon at the show. There are even more beautiful things to come. So do come back.
