these are a few of my favorite things!


Yes, I just sang some Sound of Music for you all! So, two of my favorite things in the whole world are color palettes and print materials. I love them. I love the wide range of design, the different genres, everything. Print materials are perhaps the most important part of any event. If you don't have them, no one will come AND no one will know why they are there. Dilemma. A print material or a cleverly, crafted email blitz (for the super green folks) is essential. Sweet Nothings specializes in this, so I wanted to give you a sample of what we do to prepare to design print materials and events in general. First, you have to choose a color palette. What does that mean? What I do--I go outside and look at natural colors...how nature has put them together. It's pretty impressive what you can find. Today, I see a lot of gray (it's pretty overcast) and green (the trees are a bloomin'). To me, that is a very cool modern look. Gray, shiny linens with a green, brocade accent--spring time!



Once we choose a few colors, then it's time to go to either a paper store or a fabric store and pick some swatches out. After that...well we should chat =). So this is all part of what Sweet Nothings does. I know that you can literally go crazy just trying to decide on colors for an event--for my wedding, I was borderline. Ask my husband. If you need some help, please email us!!! We would loooovvveee to talk to you!!
keep being simply fabulous,
