And we Present to you...

The Nico and Lala 2011 Calendar!

Just a few candid shots of our newest addition to share. It is beautiful! The calendar is $32 and will make the most fabulous gift under the tree...and to be honest, who wouldn't love this sitting out on their desk?!

It is SO SWANKY...behold...







One of our favorite months...such a neat pattern!








And another happy...

Turkey cookie place cards! Do you need something swanky to help liven up your Thanksgiving table? Or just the kid's table perhaps? Man, I used to hate sitting at the kid's table! ha!

Now I kind of wish I could sit there instead?! :)



Please email us if you are interested! They are PRECIOUS! And of course delicious!

XOXO,

The Trunk Show!

Last night's trunk show was a huge success! We had a wonderful time meeting new customers and chatting with old ones! Just thought we would share a few pics--the store is SO fabulous and has such a vintage and rustic feel...it is AMAZING and we were so thrilled to be a part of it!






Our designated Nico and Lala area! We thought we did a pretty good job setting up...if we do say so ourselves.



From the corner in Hillsboro Village...


They have the most beautiful windows!


Close up of our area! Top right, wine chillers...$40 each and read "Making Spirits Bright"--you can't really tell from the pic because of the cello, but they are so pretty! Bottle of wine + wine chiller = great gift and sure to make anyone's spirits bright!


The Merry Christmas tray!!!!


And what makes it even cooler? The reverse is for Thanksgiving! We are all about versatility! This tray is so elegant!


And we spotted our lucite line we created exclusively for them! More muted than our normal color schemes...but oh so chic!!!


And our super swanky recipe boxes and salt and pepper shakers too! So neat to see everything displayed!





Thanks to everyone at Social Graces and Happy Saturday!

XOXO,

Nico and Lala

Tis The Season...

For Christmas gifts and cards! Just a reminder that the Christmas card sale ends in 3 DAYS so make the most of the weekend and get us those pics!!!! Check out these fab custom cards!

Being from South Carolina, I am kind of partial. :)



And the reverse....


And then our friend Whitney who lives in New York City, asked for something custom to send to her friends back in the south! Single and fashionable, we thought...WHITNEY IN THE CITY! Precious!!!





And a custom Newlywed card..




We have been working like little elves these past few weeks, so please accept our apologies for the lack of blog posts! The good news is we have done some FABULOUS gifts and other holiday treats to share with you all!!!

First off we have "Reindeer Food"! Thank you to our customer Kelly who gave us this grand idea! It is just SO adorable and I cannot wait to give these to my nieces! Many of you may be familiar with this, but we had never heard of it! The rhyme reads, "Sprinkle on the lawn at night, the moon will make it sparkle bright. Santa's reindeer fly and roam, this will guide them to your home!"




Ummm...ADORABLE. They are $10 each and such a cute happy for the little ones! And if you have a family holiday party coming up, what a great idea for each family!


Next we have the reversible lucite tray, with a splash of Christmas! One side is for everyday with a super swanky monogram and pattern, perhaps, and the revers is holiday themed! It doesn't get more versatile than that! And these make such great gifts! $50 each but totally worth it when it can be used year round!





And Christmas catch alls too! Christmas makes us SO happy!!!





Had to also share how changing colors on Christmas cards and tweaking wording can TRULY make your pre-set card, seem completely 100% CUSTOM. Is this not adorable?! The colors changed to match the balls, and then adding "We hope you have a ball this Christmas!" is just too cute for words. So if you are wanting swank but don't want to spend the money for custom, your goal can still be achieved! YIPEE!



And we have also had the cutest Nico and Lala cookies made EVER. We pick them up every few days to put in shipments, and it is painfully hard not to every single one we get. You would think you would get sick of them, but nope...we don't. :)



Trunk show at Social Graces today at 5:30!!! Please come out and see us if you are in Nashville! There will be some great vendors and we can mix and mingle! We love meeting our customers, so please come on out!

HAPPY FRIDAY EVERYONE!

XOXO,

Nico and Lala

Cute, Cute Custom Christmas Cards!

We just did two very different, but such custom Christmas cards! We HAD to share!

First, we have sweet Harris whose mom loved the Southern wording, but wanted a custom card so she could incorporate multiple pictures! How precious is he? Those eyes!!!!





Next, we have Julie who has lots of changes this year! They got married, bought a new house, and are having a baby! They also live on the coast so wanted to somehow give a Christmas-y feel but also a nautical twist!

This is what we came up with...nautical chic flags! And we are kind of OBSESSED with the whole "We've Dropped Anchor" wording on the back!!!





If you have a special something you want to somehow incorporate into your cards but can't figure out how, let us help! We like to think that is our specialty!

Oh, and spread the word! Christmas card sale has been extended....15% off now thru November 15th! This is for the preset designs AND custom, and keep in mind that you can ALWAYS change colors, wording, or layout on the presets for no extra charge!

XOXO,
Nico and Lala

Spooktackular Parties!!!

Halloween is just around the corner, and we just did the most spooktacular party!

Thought we would share!!! Please let us know if you need any swag to make your shin-dig chic!

The Halloween Soiree Invitation



Boo Bubbles!!! Family friendly and always a hit with the kids!!




How cute are THESE?!? We heart them...such a visual statement.



And we just had to share sweet little Mary Windham's birthday invitation! We know it is difficult to find cute Halloween birthday invitations, so let us help make your pumpkin's party swanky!



XOXO,
Nico and Lala

Going to The Chapel...but first, Save the Dates!

The first step after saying "yes", but before saying "I do" is to send out your Save the Dates!

This has become more and more common over the years and is just a way of telling people to do exactly that, to hold that date on their calendar! This is MOST important for destination weddings where guests would need to book flights, hotel rooms, etc.

We recently had a bride come to us who is getting married in Harbor Island, Bahamas (we are totally jealous...). She knew she obviously wanted beachy, and a rustic look but wanted a few options.

Below are the four designs we came up with! Which one do you all think was the winner???







...And the Winner!!!



Here are a few other recent swanky Save The Dates!



The Postcard Save the Date






These each really tell the look and feel of the upcoming wedding. We love nothing more than starting with these and continuing on with the wedding invitations, favors, signage, the list goes on and on!!!

XOXO,
Nico and Lala
