Designer Spotlight: Fine Day Press

Watercolor inspired design is sweeping the wedding world these days and we couldn't be happier about it. The gorgeous gradients, soft romantic colors and hand-crafted feel of watercolor work makes our hearts flutter.

So, it's no surprise that when Ashley Austin, the incredible designer behind Fine Day Press (whose amazing cards and note-sets we carry in the shop), launched a watercolor inspired wedding album we scooped it right up.

Not only are the painted backgrounds striking on their own, but Ashley's superb eye for typesetting and gorgeous library of fonts allow for the perfect set of tools to craft custom designs that truly sing. To top it off, the invitations are flat-printed, making them a perfect budget-friendly option!

Take a peek at some of the inspired designs below and then call or email us to set up an appointment to see them in person.

Spring Freshness from Produce Candles

We've decided we are not going to just sit around and wait for spring to happen...We're going to MAKE it happen! 
First thing on the list: Fill the store with bright all natural soy wax candles from Produce.
Produce is a lovely new candle company from Charleston, South Carolina. 
We have 10 tasty "flavors" in stock: Kale, Carrot, Radish, Peanut, Wildflower, Honey, Rhubarb, Cilantro, Melon, and Sweet Pea.
You have to come smell these for yourself!

Samantha is 30!!!

I am so happy to wish my dear friend and amazing business partner a happy 30th birthday! As you all know, Sam keeps things running smoothly at G&R and I honestly cannot imagine going through this journey with anyone else. She keeps me sane, makes me laugh, handles stressful clients with ease and enjoys scarfing down delicious food (like the milkshakes and fried pickles we are getting later today) as much as I do. Oh and she is as obsessed with Gus as I am with Ruby + Archie which makes me feel slightly less wacky. In other words, she might be crazier than I am and it's always good to have someone like that by your side:)

Happy birthday, friend. I love you.

Here's to the next 30!
