Couture Logos

A great way we at Lela New York personalize invitations is by adding a custom designed logo.
It's a modern way of having a monogram. It may include the names of our clients, their first initials and elements that are included in their wedding or part of their wedding theme.
It can include your flowers and colors as well. Here are some examples of Lela New York logos.

Wedding Cleanup

We love our wedding gowns to be clean and perfect for our big day. But every once in a while there is the accidental stain put on out pristine dress or the unfortunate bead that starts to fall off.
What shall a girl do when there's an emergency to take care of? Well I just found out about Hallak Cleaners emergency kit. And who better than a couture cleaner to take care of any little stain emergency. The kit contains 2 pre-spot formulas as well as other cool stuff like a sewing kit, adhesive straps , pins and more.

I love Ivana's dress, shown here in US Weekly's July 21st issue. It's a Reem Acra gown and she paired it with Christian Louboutin Heels! I also love her hair tied back with a flower on the side, so chic and elegant.

Get FIT!

Hello Everyone!

I am not a big fan of the gym, so when I heard of the Fit Flop, I was amazed that I can just do my normal everyday routine and still get in shape! Its engineered for lifting and firming in all the right places while you walk, and its great for summer and getting fit for your special day!
They come in a variety of colors and have a nice sporty look.

How to create your own Wedding Theme

I'm always asked in Lela New York's consultations how a bride can create her own couture invitations using a theme or her own design. And how can I help. Well, here you go.

At Lela New York we start your consultation with a simple conversation on your likes and dislikes, your wedding venue, and other details such as your wedding dress and colors.
After we talk I get a better feeling of what a bride would like me to create for her. Sometimes a bride knows exactly what she wants and other times creating a bride's design can get a bit more challenging.
But, an idea more than a theme is what sets the design in motion. For example, I had a bride who loves the color pink , thats great, but she couldn't decide on a design or idea to start it. So after talking to her for a while I found out that the best part of her dream wedding was her dress. I then designed her invitations based off the detailed embroidery found on her custom couture dress. I also added Swarovsky crystals to it just as the dress. The final product was a classic shape invite in pink and silver with graphics and embellishments that matched her dress.
So, in conclusion, it takes listening and a good designer to be able to create your perfect theme or rather a great idea and transform it to a bride's perfect invitation.
