Welcome Conifer!

We have had this product in the works for so long, I am surprised its only just now making its was to you fine folks!

This great drawing is different from our usual fingerprint trees because you dont need fingerprints to fill it up and its pretty much one size fits all. What you get is a lovely rendering of a pine tree (or conifer, as we like to call it) minus most of the pine needles. As your guests add their signatures, it starts to fill up and their names look like pine needles. Brilliant! 

 

The 36"x12" paper size is a standard frame size and perfect from framing without the glass in an entry way in your home or to commemorate a special day. Request custom text to be printed below the drawing to make it truly special. We have one in the entry way of our home and anytime friends and family come over they add to it.

It would be a perfect gift for your savviest host or hostess to keep record of all of their beloved guests and oh so classy.

Jenn and Mike's Vintage Truck Wedding

I went to high school with Jenn and when I stumbled across her gorgeous engagement photo shoot by chance, I knew we had to do  a very special guestbook drawing for her.

In 1952 Mikes’ great-grandfather bought a brand new truck, fresh off the lot.  It was gorgeous and he loved it.  Later that year, he packed his entire family into it and drove across the country to settle in Southern California.  Over the years, as everything does,  it fell into disrepair.
Nearly sixty years later, Mike, his father and his brother have given it back it’s glory, refurbishing it from the bottom up. This truck was one special backdrop for their engagement photos and we were so excited to do a unique guestbook drawing in its likeness!

The details in this wedding a just so picture perfect! Check out all of them as is was featured on Style me Pretty this week.

Jessica & Reid's Classic Atlanta Wedding Charm from Laura Negri Photography

The beautiful warm tones of Jessica and Reid's classy southern wedding were the perfect fit for one of our oak trees.

"A big thank you for such a beautiful and creative solution to the traditional guestbook! I absolutely adored having something interactive for our guests to do when they got to the reception as we were still taking pictures at the church." - Jessica

Via Laura Negri Photography:

Jessica & Reid had a beautiful and classic Atlanta wedding at Northside United Methodist Church and Cherokee Country Club.  The camera just loved them both and we had one of those perfect fall days. Jessica and her mother have flawless taste and the whole day was perfection.

  

Balloon love...wedding inspiration

Check out this sweet picnic wedding in Big Bear. All of the use of color and balloons is great! Wish we could have added a balloon guestbook to their mix...

Via 100 layer cake:

A picturesque outdoor venue in the forest, vintage soda pop, and an endless supply of pies…sounds like a great way to spend a weekend. It’s also undoubtedly, a perfect way to celebrate a wedding. Especially when you’ve got Hollin Brodeur photographing and styling it. Laura + Dustin’s 120 guest wedding in Big Bear was executed within a budget of 15k, and as charming as could be. All the bits & pieces, plus a cute little French Bulldog, make this wedding a real treat to share with y’all!

For the ceremony decorations, Hollin drew inspiration from a Japanese art exhibit at the Getty Museum (10+ years ago). She remembered the walkways being lined with large lanterns attached to poles with 2 streaming ribbons flowing down and loved the idea of incorporating it into L + D’s ceremony.

We all know who’s the cutest of the bunch…

 Add a guestbook fingerprint balloon to the mix to capture the whimsical feeling of this day:

Client wedding in Oregon

Meghan and Emily used our tandem bike guestbook fingerprint balloon to record all of their loved ones in attendance that day.

Via Ruffled:

Meghan and Emily’s wedding is proof that nothing says timeless like amazing photography. Shot by You Look Nice Today Photography, this adorable couple who is as witty as they come, chose an equally charming venue for their nuptials – The Octagonal Barn at Cornelius Pass Roadhouse. See many more images from this wedding right here!

The week before the wedding Emily was in a car accident. Luckily it was nothing serious, but hence the “just married” sign.

We really tried to focus on two main things: simple & clean. We wanted something that felt intimate in size and timeless in style.
Meghan’s advice to other brides: Keep it simple. The more elaborate ideas that I had originally all fell by the wayside and yet after all everything was said and done, it was the best night of our lives.
Another note, we found that since most of our family had not yet met, an informal lunch the day before the wedding was a brilliant move. Emily’s aunts hosted a picnic the Saturday before so as to thank all those guests who flew in from around the country. This gave our loved ones time to meet and make some connections before the wedding itself. Emily and I both feel that this helped people feel more like a family before the wedding itself. It made for a much more intimate setting the next night.
I will add though, that the show-stopper for the night wasn’t our first dance, it was one that followed. A friend of mine requested Michael Bolton’s version of When a Man Loves a Woman. One need not have been there to be entertained by the idea of two women slow dancing to this at their wedding. There’s a photo that Ryan took of us holding hand on the dance floor and singing to each other. “When a maaaa-aaaan loves a woman!” It was kind of epic.
