I recently received a review package with "Quatre Mots Francais notecards" from Princeton Architectural Press. The lovely boxed set of four designs was created by Louise Fili, one of my favorite designers. Her inspiration derives from the Art Deco movement and ironwork decorating the city of Paris. The French translates as: Merci (thank you); Salut (greetings); Plaisir (pleasure); Bisous (kisses). There are three prints of each design for a total of 12 notecards with white envelopes. They're so pretty I might have to frame one set as wall art!
Art Deco Inspired
Here's a recent mood board put together for Nan Lee Jewelry exploring the theme of Art Deco for a wedding. This is one of my favorite design eras and inspired the Modern Art Deco invitation suite shown below. Clean lines and geometric shapes will never go out out of style and this theme works equally well for a day or evening event. What's your favorite era?

Art Deco Mood Board
Style and mood boards are one of my favorite things to work on. Here's one for Nan Lee Jewelry showcasing their wedding day jewelry as part of an art deco wedding theme. Every designer has their favorite software for creating boards and my favorite is InDesign. Personally I find it faster to manipulate images and text in this app rather than Photoshop or Illustrator, but that's just me. What's your favorite software app?
