So sorry to be just now putting up our Friday post, but today truly is fabulous! We are thrilled to announce that Kate had a healthy baby boy yesterday evening! Palmer Elliott Little came into the world around 8:00 pm last night. He weighs 8 pounds and is 20.3 inches long. Both Momma and baby are doing just fine! We had a chance to meet little Palmer today and he is oh so precious. Here are a few pics I could snap with the phone! Congrats to Kate and Barrett…we are so happy for you!!!

It’s Wedding Wednesday at The Bon Bon and I am so excited to share some AWESOME news with all of you!  Well, after months of designing, programming, and editing, and weeks of waiting for review, we are over the moon with excitement to announce that the Lettered Olive iPad app is now available on iTunes!

This free download is a first in the wedding industry, allowing the viewer to be able to scroll through our collections to view all that Lettered Olive has to offer. From save-the-dates to favor tags to personal stationery, the Lettered Olive app shows coordinating pieces for each suite that will outfit each step of the wedding festivities.

Featured on the app are stylized photos for each collection suite, images of coordinating pieces designed for each collection suite, a geolocation feature to find the nearest Lettered Olive retailer, and a stationery etiquette video from me…yes, you get to see and hear me in action!

We all love the fact that our brides can download this to their personal ipads to look over at home, take to her floral designer, share it with her mother (and mother-in-law to be!), share with her fiancé and of course with all her BFFS who might love a sneak peek of the invitations.

Here are a few screen shots from the app for you to check out:

The three Collections : Charleston Collection, TwentyEleven, and Private Label by Tara Guérard  featuring designs inspired by real brides. 



Drop down menu with thumbnails allows for easy and quick navigation.

The map shows all of our retail locations across the United States (and also Canada, Panama, and Norway!)

Make sure you visit our Facebook page for more images and updates and also stop by the Lettered Olive’s blog  for more exciting information!
