Raquel has to be one of the most generous people I have ever met. Her sister Delicia is getting married in New York, and Raquel has planned a rather elaborate reception for her back home in Michigan. I have never seen another person work so selflessly to pull off such an elegant reception. Raquel has not spared a single penny in this entire process to ensure that her sister has nothing but the best, right down to the last detail.

Delicia had picked out an invitation from our online Birchcraft selection, but it was a very elegant invitation in black and ecru with vellum and a black satin bow. This didn't really go with the sage and pink decor at the reception, and I was worried that a black and white seating chart with no graphic or detail wouldn't be "fancy enough" for her reception. After talking with her wedding planner, I learned that her tables had a beautiful overlay with a swirl pattern in sage green sewn throughout it. I had a swatch of the overlays mailed to me, and I was able to carry this theme into her seating chart. It looks so stunning with the soft pattern in the background and mounted in our antique silver frame.
