 Any diamond will carry a romantic message to a beloved bride, but only one will set her heart on fire. A diamond that is so perfectly cut that it has all the classic elements of a diamond’s beauty—brilliance, dispersion and scintillation. A diamond that sparkles like a red-hot fire. A Hearts On Fire diamond.

Elegance is in Full Bloom at Botanical Stationery Boutique
Your wedding invitation sets the stage for the entire event,
establishing the tone and style of your special day. This important
parchment should convey your personality, expressing your uniqueness
and inviting the recipient not only to the event, but into the
wonderment and joy of love. Finding the right Stationery vendor, then,
is of prime importance. When seeking a vendor that offers personalized
service and highest quality Stationery, Petalos di Pauli is a top
choice.
Founded by Paula Dulan Estes, the Stationery stylings of Petalos di
Pauli consistently gives clients the beauty, whimsy, and elegancy every
bride craves while providing personalized, individual service. What
sets Petalos di Pauli apart from other Stationery providers is the
integration of real flowers and other natural elements into exquisite,
hand-crafted products (though they can also create Stationery without
botanical embellishments should the client prefer).

Inspired by her garden and the beauty of nature, Paula’s designs radiate the rejuvenating serenity of nature. Petalos di Pauli is a one-stop-shop for Stationery needs, from invitations to thank you cards, including on-the-day Stationery items like menus, programs, table cards, and large format seating scrolls, each, as Paula remarks, “as unique as a snowflake.”
In addition to their remarkable innovations, Petalos di Pauli is distinguished by the exceptional personalized service offered to its clients. Working with Paula, who exudes the peacefulness of her garden, is like sharing a cup of tea with an old friend. For Paula, the initial creation of her garden was deeply personal, an escape from hectic daily life. In turn, she is personally invested in every project, imbuing her creations with the positive, nurturing qualities of her garden oasis.
Regardless of your design needs, time constraints, or budget, Petalos di Pauli has an option to suit you. For maximum creative control, you are invited to start with a blank canvas and build your Stationery design from scratch with Paula’s knowledgeable guidance. If budget is a concern, you can opt to customize an existing creation. Petalos di Pauli Signature is a less expensive, quick-turnaround option, with designs for customers who want the elegance of hand-crafted botanical Stationery, but simply don’t have the time for custom design.
Though located in Orange County, California, Petalos di Pauli enthusiastically serves clients from near and far. They are savvy with internet communication from email to Skype, and more traditionally conduct business via phone and snail mail, as the client’s needs dictate. Petalos di Pauli will become even more accessible in January 2010, when they launch their new online store.
When considering your Stationery needs for your wedding, Petalos di Pauli is a unique and elegant opportunity to express your personality and style through the beauty of nature.

#21 LA FLEUR TABLE
Cover your entire table top with a single bold color of petals. Not
just a scattering, but the entire top of the table with a thick layer
of petals! You can purchase them at a farmers market or order them
through your florist. Place your chargers, place settings, glassware
and centerpieces in a contrasting color and lots of candles directly
onto the petals for a stunning, romantic look!

# 6 RECIPES FOR FAVORS
Gather together the favorite recipes that you remember as a child. They could be special family recipes, holiday menus, etc. Have them bound in small books, affix a wedding label on the front with your monogram and date that you were married. And there you have it, a unique favor that your guests will use again and again. Also, it is a wonderful way to acknowledge grandmothers and mothers.

#11 QUICK FIX
Traveling with an emergency kit is like the American Express campaign, “Don’t leave home without it.” It should have everything from panty hose and nail glue to smelling salts and Tums, but the most commonly used item is SAFETY PINS! Although you should have a needle and thread, I have resorted to using safety pins for fixing hems on tuxedos, bustling the brides gown, pinning broken bra straps and creating a veil or headpiece out of tulle when the bride’s was left at home. Safety pins are great for a “quick fix.”
