A romantic wedding morning print designed for brides, bridesmaids, mothers, and the women who make the day unforgettable.
Designed while two of our sons were engaged, our Bridal Print is a love letter to the small details that make a wedding day unforgettable: the cake, the flowers, the rings, the invitation, the first toast, and the getaway car. Made for brides, bridesmaids, mothers of the bride, mothers of the groom, and anyone lucky enough to be part of the wedding morning.
When two of your sons are engaged at the same time, weddings stop being something you admire from a distance and become very, very real. In our family, we have one wedding in 2026 and another in 2027, so you could say this new Bridal Print began close to home.
At first, I wasn’t thinking about launching it as a print to sell. I was thinking about my future daughters-in-law. I imagined making something special for them, and maybe for their bridesmaids, mothers, sisters, and the women getting ready with them on the wedding morning. Something beautiful, personal, and full of little reminders from the day.
When I started designing the print, I asked myself what I remembered most about my own wedding day.
Naturally, I thought about the cake first. Most of you know I am slightly obsessed with food, so my wedding cake was a very big deal to me. I insisted on a tower of profiteroles filled with vanilla Häagen-Dazs and covered in chocolate. It tasted incredible. Did it look a little like the mashed potato mountain Richard Dreyfuss makes in Close Encounters of the Third Kind? Yes. Yes, it did. But I loved it anyway.
For this print, however, we gave the cake a little more visual dignity.
Then came the wedding bands. Ward and I still wear ours every day, which means I still carry a piece of that day with me all these years later. I loved the idea of including the rings because they are the smallest detail and somehow the biggest promise.
The flowers had to be there too. Wedding flowers have a way of staying in your memory. You may forget who stood where, who said what, or whether anyone actually ate the chicken, but you remember the flowers. Mine made me so happy.
I also wanted the invitations. There is something wonderfully old-fashioned and meaningful about putting it all on paper. Before the dress, before the music, before the cake, there is that moment when you invite the people you love to come witness the beginning of your new life.
Then we added champagne, for the first toast, and a getaway car, for that strange, wonderful moment when the party is over and the marriage really begins. You leave one life and arrive at another.
We drew each detail over and over again. We tried cakes alone. We tried flowers and champagne glasses. We tested colors, scale, spacing, and combinations until the print finally felt right: joyful, romantic, personal, and not too serious.
My hope is that whenever a bride, bridesmaid, mother of the bride, mother of the groom, sister, aunt, or best friend puts it on, she feels brought back to that very special day. The laughter. The nerves. The flowers. The champagne. The people who showed up. The feeling that life had just opened a beautiful new door.
Because the wedding day goes quickly. But the memories deserve something lovely to live on in. Discover my exclusive discounts up to 30% off for your bridal party
