Bespoke Wedding Stationery

Bespoke Wedding Stationery

I work one on one with my brides to craft uniquely lovely papery from the ground up. All Calligraphy and Illustrations are done by hand before being digitized for print. Your designs will be yours forever, and never used on any other client. I am happy to be your Paper Concierge, from curating vintage stamps, or wax seal assembly. I offer services that range from save the dates, and full invitations suites, to day of needs such as menus and custom signage. Since I am also a calligrapher, I do all calligraphy addressing in house. Do you already have a stationer, but are looking for that custom touch? I also offer spot calligraphy, custom monograms, venue illustrations and more. If you would like more information on availability, and pricing please fill out the contact form below. I can't wait to hear from you!

Love this capture by @julianaljubisavljevicphoto from the #daniellepoffworkshop! This suite was a little different style for me, but so fun! What is your favorite part of an invitation suite? Mine are liners, they add so much interest, especially this liner made from @share.studios paper ☺️
I want to share another account with you guys today for the #risingtidechallenge! @sarahakcarpenter's photography seriously takes my breath away. I want to share her account because it is a huge inspiration to me. Her images capture the ethereal grace of ballet, and this translates to her wedding photography as well. I was a ballet instructor myself, so these images are truly moving to me. This effortlessness, both of the dancer and photographer are something I wish (someday?) to evoke in my own work. There is something to say for grace, be it in art, life or love. #communityovercompetition
Hey everyone! We made it to Friday! It's the last day of the #instatidechallenge! In the spirit of #communityovercompetition I am sharing the work of one of my favorite people. Rachel Moger from @sincerelygingerweddings had been such a blessing to work with this year. Not only does she give me awesome jobs, with great clients, but she is just the sweetest! She's full of wonderfully creative ideas, and gorgeous designs. She drove all the way from Traverse City to help me with my first calligraphy workshop. She loves her clients, and does everything she can to make them happy and their day beautiful! Basically, I want to be Rachel when I grow up! This is a little iPhone shot of the first wedding we worked on together. I can't wait to see where next season takes us. You're the best, keep rocking it! 😘
Oh if only things were as effortless as this illustration seems. Today's #instatidechallenge's prompt is to share a bit more of what is on my heart. Well friends, to be honest, this business is a big part of my heart. I started it a little over a year ago, and cannot believe how much growth and transformation and support that year has encompassed. But if I can get very real for a second, it has meant a lot of work. This isn't a bad thing, I think it's a good thing. I think the harder you have to work for something, the more it must be worth it. Right? But doing everything myself, and constant trial and error can be draining. Little example: There was a contact link in my website that was broken. I don't know how many people had tried to email me using a broken link... until now, 2 months later. Apparently google kept a spread sheet of each inquiry and I discovered it last night. You know what's worse than FOMO? Knowing exactly what you missed out on. Sigh. But here is the thing. No one is perfect. And to accomplish anything requires much effort, a little bit of grit and a boat load of resilience. And you know what? All the hard work that has been this amazing journey is worth all of the working on a weekend through a cold because weddings. So, my motto, and I hope it can be your's too is this:
The secret of change is to focus all of your energy, not on fighting the old, but on building the new- Socrates (one brick, or place card rock, at a time ☺️) What do you want to build? #instatidechallenge
This Bespoke and Branded stationery is going out the door today to my friend Shelby of @thedaysdesign! This has been one of my favorite projects to date because it takes advantage of all of the things I love about custom work. For one, I painted a vintage inspired illustration of a Forget Me Not, which is very intertwined in Shelby's personal and brand story. Each print is numbered, and includes her existing logo on the back side. It's such a perfect way to write someone a note, solidify your branding and give someone a print as a gift. The custom envelope liner adds a bit of wild whimsy, which, if you've seen her floral designs, you know is very much her! We worked with her existing brand color pallet to create something that speaks louder that words alone. #feels #instatidechallenge If you could have a custom illustration of something integral to your story, what would it be?
