This past summer we worked with an amazing….and dare I say best welcome bag company in NYC. Our bride was a medical resident in psychiatry with a super creative side that enjoyed everything in wedding design.When we first started conversations about welcome bags, Tara didn’t get excited about traditional paper totes or boxes filled with the obvious things like water and NYC maps at all.So I went on a crusade to track down NYC’s most creative duo and found Julie Tinker and Elana Dweck- the owners of Melangerie.They specialize in custom gifting and the creation of what they call, “mélanges.”For Tara and Greg, they created a custom NYC guide outlining the couple’s favorite spots, what they normally order, where their first date was, site of the proposal, etc and used the artwork from their Save the Date to reinforce their art deco feel and enhance consistency.Check out their site for more creative ideas:http://www.melangerienyc.com
