i Do {blog!}

That's right lovely readers... it's company retreat time! We're off for a week of rejuvenation and relaxation and lots of planning! What's on the agenda you ask? We'll fill you in on all the details when we return but here's a hint... the main topic for the week is expansion! Super excited for what lies ahead and can't wait to share it with you! We will be doing lots of work from the beach so we're not technically "closed" we're just "out of the studio!" Here's how our time away might affect you:

For new orders: Please feel free to place orders while we are away with the understanding that it may take a little longer than usual to receive your invoice. We are accepting orders for October 1st weddings and beyond with no additional rush fees. For weddings prior to October 1st, please contact us upon our return and we'll check our availability at that time. Unfortunately we cannot accept any more rush orders for July or August weddings.

For orders scheduled to ship during our close time: not to worry, we have planned ahead and all orders originally scheduled to ship during this time (according to your original paypal invoice) will ship prior to our departure! This close time will not lengthen any turnaround times for orders scheduled to ship after our return. We've got you covered!

For monogram & logo orders: We will still be completing monogram orders while on our retreat within the normal turnaround time of 20 business days from receipt of payment.

We will be responding to all e-mail inquiries upon our return when we resume normal studio hours (9am-5pm EST Mon-Fri) beginning Monday 7/13. Thanks so much to everyone for your patience and understanding while we're away! Hope everyone had a fantastic 4th of July!

Hope everyone has a fun 4th of July! Stay safe! Best wishes to all of our fabulous couples whose orders are featured above!

Jamie, of My Way with Style requested a logo that had an urban "Sex and the City" feel to it and incorporated the silhouette of a stylish woman. LOVE! Thanks Jamie!

This aisle runner needed a spotlight all of its own... talk about making a statement! Rashida chose a verse aisle runner with a verse she selected and then also chose to add on monogram 3D underneath the verse... and it turned out fabulously! Rashida also ordered a matching unity candle set to complete the personalized decor for her ceremony. Best wishes Rashida & Robert!

Congratulations to our July Featured Couple Ashlyn & Justin! Ashlyn & Justin were married at the beautiful Gin Creek Plantation in Hartsfield, Georgia in March. For their grand affair they ordered a custom black monogram table runner that adorned their cake table and three single initial extra large black banners that graced a gorgeous wrought iron stand that was custom built by the groom himself! Ashlyn also ordered a monogram parasol for herself and one for each of her maids... and her adorable flower girl! What a beautiful sassy souther wedding. Special thanks to Gandy Photographers for sharing all these fantastic photos with us!

"I'm sooo happpy with the way everything I ordered turned out! You guys did an outstanding job! Everything i ordered from idooriginals.com was a HUGE HUGE hit!" -Ashlyn

Check out a few of our most recent creations for our fantastic couples... best wishes to all!

Debra, of Grand Finale! Events wanted logos that were fresh, creative, and simple, with an emphasis on the exclamation point. Thanks Debra!

We officially adore Cheyenne Schultz who sent us some of the amazing photos she took of a few items we created for couple Crystal & Matt. She was also gracious enough to allow us to snag a few pics from her blog of Crystal & Matt's big day... and what a gorgeous day it was! Look at all their incredible details! Coordinated by the ever so talented Alyse Woodward of Alyse Woodward Events, you can read more about their spectacular event on her blog here.

Right after Crystal received her items in the mail she sent us a sweet e-mail that read:
"I received all of my items and I wanted to tell you how amazing they look!! Thank you so much, I absolutely love everything you did for me!!"

Thanks Crystal & Matt and CONGRATULATIONS!!!

Bride Megan had a special request... parasols that read "Live, Laugh, Love." Taking special requests is always so much fun, and these were a blast to create... they turned out amazing! Megan also ordered a single initial "H" parasol and a custom unity candle set. Thanks to Megan & Brian and best wishes!

Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend... best wishes to all these sweet couples!

Shauna, of LifEvents, expressed that she liked her current logo but wanted it updated with a little more flair. She explained that she wanted something modern & sophisticated, while a little offbeat and innovative. We came up with three great designs for her but wanted to show off this one as it was directly based off her original logo, but updated and a little more modernized. Sometimes this is all a current logo needs is a little updating from time to time. Think you need an updated version of your logo? Check out our logo services... we'd be glad to help!

All of our items are pretty spectacular if we do say so ourselves (and we do) but if you want to go the extra mile, we have a few add-on options that you can choose from. For aisle runners we offer a glitter overlay add-on (+ $20) that definitely is for the bride who wants to sparkle and shine. For table runners and banners we have two add-on options, the giltter overlay mentioned above and we also offer ribbon edging (+$15) to really finish of the banner/table runner in luxury style. You can go with one option or both like couple Tamesha & Adrian:

Our candles comes standard with satin ribbon in your choice of color, but if you want to go a step up, choose our double ribbon option (+$5) to incorporate both your colors:

Three years ago today I walked down the aisle to marry the man of my dreams. It has been an incredible three years full of love an laughter. We were fortunate enough to do an early anniversary celebration in Venice last month and we had the incredibly talented Maruo Pozzer there to document our experience with an anniversary photo shoot. I have been waiting until this day to share the slideshow with you all... just click on the first photo above and enjoy!

Tonight we'll celebrate with a fantastic dinner at one of our favorite restaurants and the evening will culminate with the watching our wedding dvd by the amazingly talented guys from EnigmaPro, which is a tradition we do on our anniversary. How do you celebrate your anniversary? Any special traditions?

Best wishes to all these wonderful couples and happy weekend to all!!!
