Gucci Inspires EAST SIX Invitations

These black and gold Gucci frocks are hard to miss seeing that they're all over the red carpet and latest magazines. The dropped waistlines, art deco designs, and fringe is a clear reference to the jazzy twenties, a sleek, modern, and youthful genre. If you plan on having your guests on the dance floor the majority of the night, set the tone with one of these Save the Dates! The gold foil, art deco designs, and fancy die cut shape will prepare them for a good time. Let's just hope they don't top the bride in one of these show stoppers!

Something to "Bite" into!

EAST SIX came across "Bite" beauty products at the City Winery Wedding event! Bite features high pigment lip pencils, luminous creme lipstick, lip rouge that doubles as blush, as well as gloss, scrubs, and balms. These super saturated lip products are not the only appealing aspect to this brand. Each Bite product features the super antioxidant resveratrol. Resveratrol is an age-defying substance found in the skin of red grapes and wine, preventing lip wrinkles. In addition to resveratrol, Bite uses all natural ingredients including shea butter, superfoods, and food-grade colors. So not only does Bite look good on your lips, but is good for them too! What a great gift for your bridesmaids!

Lasercut Design From Runway to Invitations

While perusing through Harpers Bazaar February issue, we came across the most amazing blue dress. We fell in love with the laser cutting detail! The blue dress featured is a number from Valentino's spring/summer 2012 line. Valentino is just one among many fashion designers who used laser cutting this season. Other designers include Louis Vuitton, Oscar de la Renta, Miu Miu, Elie Saab, as well as others.

Here at EAST SIX we have applied laser cutting to various invitation pieces. This laser cut belly band and sleeve bring an intricate texture to these foil stamp and letter press invitations.
