Did ya’ll have a good weekend? Yesterday I did a site visit to the Farm at Putah Creek, on the grounds of the Center for Land-Based Learning, in Winters–about 30 minutes from Davis, Calif. and the site of Jean & Trent’s wedding that I coordinated last October. As of today, my clients Bethany and Dan have less than two weeks until their big day, and it’s exciting to hear how things will come together!

I’m kicking off Monday with a giveaway from New Orleans-based designer Denise Holmes of Nisee Made, whose whimsical invitations caught my eye on Project Wedding with this shoot. Denise is offering a set of personalized notecards like the one below to one Lily Spruce reader! To enter, simply visit the Nisee (pronounced “knee-see”) site and leave a comment here on your favorite thing in her collection with your e-mail address.

I’ll draw a winner at random on Friday, April 23. Good luck!nisee_giveaway custom

I also really love that words are being printed on wood now, and while thinking about that process is enough to make my head spin, I’d rather focus on the dizzying delight of the results.

I first spotted the work of Etsian Baumbirdy from this wedding, with these awesome, wooden escort cards.

That sent me over to the shop, where I spied these programs and Save the Dates.

Much as I love paper, there is something instantly grounding about wood. Different, and dignified, without sacrificing any style.
