Flush Designs, PasadenaVendor: Invitations, Event & Floral Design, PhotographyWebsite: Flush DesignsAbout Me: Flush Designs is run and owned by me, Courtney C. Keefe de Jauregui. It is all encompassing, from the custom & handmade invitations seen at my website, to full exploration in event styling and design, to flower arranging, to playing sidekick and second shooter to my husband's wedding photography. I am working on becoming a wedding "One stop shop". :) I am a graduate in fine art painting, but a self taught graphic designer. As I still needed to get my hands dirty, I started taking letterpress classes, thus becoming my new love. When I am not busy working (usually still in my pajamas) and telling myself to remember to buy a new chair (this one hurts), I am singing to my 3 cats and enjoying a cold pint with my husband at our favorite local Irish pub. Maybe it's in the reverse order. :)
I just finished this beautiful invite for a lovely couple in Ireland. She wanted a elegant but relaxed invitation that really showcased the couples love for sailing and the ease of enjoying life but with out looking like a nautical themed invite. Flowing flowers and sailboats in the breeze…
Their colors are mainly blues with her bridesmaids dresses being 3 shades of blue. So we chose to mix 3 shades of blue thread to tie it all together. This is the first invite I printed using POLYMER plates! I just finally made the switch from magnesium mounted on wood. I was pleasantly surprised by the ease of the transition and the fun it brought back to printing for me.
It started to drizzle just as I was taking the pics so I didn’t get too many but hopefully you can see it’s simple loveliness.

I have always wanted a house with a study, just so when my husband calls out my name I can say “Dear, I am in the study.” So I got my inspiration for the next table top from that. A vintage study, lots of books, travel memorabilia, leather chairs and a cozy masculine feel but softened by fluffy white flowers…
Here is a sneak peek of the table…the mod table should be on Once Wed soon, then this table…oh boy!

The save the date for my great friends Jill and Adam! Designed by me! (of course ) They are two very funny people and this save the date really shows it. It is three color letterpress with the wine stain (which I love and will be carried through out the whole invitation suite currently under construction) is digitally printed by me but the letterpress is printed ever so beautifully by Spark Letterpress.

So here are 2 new bouquets by me. This one is for the Frida table top but is also a trial run for a June bride that I will be doing the bouquets and boutonnieres for AND Erin Hearts Court will be shooting too AND I am doing the invitations and paper products for! Yay! I am excited! This is about as “One Stop” as I can get! The bride ordered a bunch of super cool vintage ribbon for the bouquets so imagine red ribbon wrapped all the way around.

I have yet again been asked by the lovely Emily at Once Wed to do another table top for her ever popular table top trends series on her website. This one has been a long wait as the past couple of weekends has really been crazy and if not crazy then raining.
I wanted a to design a table that really felt inviting just how I think Frida’s garden would be. I wanted to make sure the table had room for food as a family style event seems a must with this table! Oh and the calligraphy is by the lovely Lisa at Pen and ink! So beautiful.
So here it is with out further introduction. The Frida Kahlo table top! Enjoy! I could post a million pics so if you want to see more let me know I will do a part dos.

The Frida table top will be posted on ONCE WED today, and I wanted to give one post on the modern tabletop that will be posted after that. So here is the invite I designed for it. Oh and a third table, “Vintage Study”, I will sneak peek for you tomorrow too. Goodness what is going on???

Rain delay, bad? No good! It gives me 2 more weeks to do 2 more tables. Because I will have already rented the table, chairs and boring linens for the Frida tabletop, I figured I might as well do a few more with the “base” or “limitations” of what a bride is given at a venue. I will be putting together a total of 3 tabletops for Once Wed’s table trends. “Frida Fiesta”, “Modern Breathless” and a ” A Vintage Study”. All will be on a round table, with white table linens as the base, but each {hopefully} portraying some fun and different themes. As always in order to research and prepare, I like to make an inspiration board, so here they are. You can see from previousposts on the “Frida Fiesta” that it is ready to go, but now I must go get everything I need for these two other tabletop in just 2 weeks. FUN! Hope they look interesting….

I am working on a few projects for some clients and myself. Here are a few digital files of what is going on behind the scenes… some are still getting tweaked, others are done approved and ready to print. Fun! I will have a busy March of printing!
One is in the works for the “modern breathless” table top… Guess which one. (Although I am working on another version; this is the first…) I know digital files are boring and don’t showcase fun photography, but you can see what is going on here and in my brain. Any critiques are welcome! please click to see larger and in detail!

Okay so it has been the most ridiculously gorgeous weather here in Los Angeles and I was planning to do the “Frida Kahlo Table Top” for Once Wed this weekend, but there is a storm a brewing and my Garden themed table just will not work indoors. So there has been a delay. It will not be done until the weekend of February 21st. So to keep those ants out of your pants, I have taken a few pics of the little lovelies involved, and how they are waiting so patiently for their debut. I would do it next weekend, but could you imagine going to the flower mart the friday before Valentines… just shoot me. Hence the 2 week delay.
Just in case you having seen the inspiration board it is here. I am super excited to use the basic items that so many brides are limited to at their venues as the base for the design. Round table, white linens, and plain boring dishware.
Hope this makes you even more curious and excited.

I thought it would be a cute idea for those that have fiancés that are into golf or those that are getting married at a golf club. I bought them in white and natural and painted some blue. You could paint them any color to match your wedding. Read more…
