E and I Design |
|
Erin Sarpa and Ilene Guy, principals of EandI Design, have been in business for 16 years and continue to be inspired to create beauty. Their look for weddings is very individualistic and they offer modern, vintage and classic designs to suit the personality of the bride. EandI has created invitations for weddings around the globe and enjoy the current trend that has moved away from traditional looks to taking advantage of color.
Erin's favorite wedding favor was a small picture frame with a poem inside because it was very thoughtful and useful. Ilene loves all wedding cakes, but her favorite is when each layer has a different flavor to try! Both designers' dream invitation would be romantic with a vintage feel.

jill smith design |
|
jill smith design began with the desire to create beautiful things while wearing pajamas, to be truly happy and inspired with work, and to never sit in traffic for a daily commute. Jill creates clean, vibrant, uncomplicated designs with unexpected details. Her style is influenced by daily encounters, books read and travels experienced. Growing up, she and her brother were only allowed to watch 30 minutes of TV a week, so there was plenty of time left over to learn to be creative and silly. She thanks her parents for that. Today, Jill designs corporate pieces for companies such as Mercedes-Benz, Southwest Airlines, New York Life Company and HEB Central Market. She has also designed a wholesale line of stationery, which can be found in boutiques around the country.
jill smith design has been featured in InStyle, Daily Candy, Modern Bride, Lucky, Redbook, and CBS's The Early Show. Jill designed Tiffani Thiessen's wedding invitations and ensemble, and she recently designed Naomi and Jason Priestly's baby shower invitations.
Jill lives in Houston with her husband, Wooch, and their two adorable mutts, Blue and Trip. Her favorite wedding cake was not actually cake at all. It was the popsicle she ordered from the ice cream truck she had at her own wedding reception. Click here to view all wedding stationery by jill smith design.
