Local Vendor: Rust Belt Love

Talented. Enthusiastic. Fun.
Three words to describe two sisters operating one amazing design company.


I first met Alyson O'Connor, one of the two owners of RustBeltLove on Twitter back in late summer of 2010. We got "tweeting" and finally met up with each other (along with her sister Megan Murdie) shortly after - when our lives sort of calmed down a bit! Talk about a fun time! We shared business stories, life stories, and a lot of laughs. I am so excited to have met these two, and wanted to spread the word about their awesome, local design company. As such, I introduce you to....RustBeltLove!

"The way we see it, event design is creating a COHESIVE look and feel for your event. We want to make sure your color scheme, mood, theme, and overall PERSONALITY are carried, visually, throughout all elements involved. Your invitations should set the mood, and thereafter your menus, programs, table settings, even something as small, but significant, as your favors should all meld perfectly. Wrap everything up with a matching thank you card you'll understand why it's the little things that people notice."

Each RustBeltLove package begins with a free consultation where these two lovely ladies get to know you - what you like, what you don't like, and the colors, themes, and textures that you are drawn to. They will then take all of that information and create a special "mood board," designed specifically for you and your overall tone. They offer several packages that range from simply invitations all the way to their platinum package, which includes shower invitations, thank you cards, catering centerpieces, favors, menus, place cards, table design, room decor and programs!

Inspiration Board: Honeysuckle, Yellow & Orange

Although, it is only mid-February, these last couple of days truly got me excited for springtime as the temperatures hit the mid 50's and the sun finally made an appearance! Unfortunately, I woke up this morning and was greeted with mid-20 degree temperatures, scattered snow showers and a very gray day.

To help keep my springtime spirits high I thought I would focus today's inspiration board on a fun, bright, springtime color combination - including Pantone's color of the year, Honeysuckle! After doing the research for this board, I very quickly realized that I am so ready for sunshine, warmth, and lots & lots of beautiful weddings! Enjoy!
