Happy Friday! We’ve been buried in weddings all month, but I wanted to share a fun project we recently did for @caraway_home . I taught my very first virtual class for their employee event and it was SOO much fun! We made these 4 cards just in time for Mother’s Day and I can’t wait to gift them to my mom as well 🥰. Handmade cards are the best! Looking forward to teaching more of these workshops in person!
Happy Valentine’s Day! 💝 Loving all of the romantic vibes today, especially this beautiful invitation delicately printed on handmade paper. I get lots of requests for handmade paper, and the truth is, creating a piece like this is a work of art! The paper alone can take up to 4-6 weeks just to get made, let alone the time it takes us to print the artwork. I recommend starting the process of ordering these with us at LEAST 3 months before you need to mail them, which is usually about 5-6 months before your wedding date! It’s a labor of love, but I guarantee that these are keepsake-worthy. 😍
☁️ Why handmade paper?
- It’s eco-friendly and made from recycled cotton fibers
- It’s super soft and works beautiful for letterpress and foil stamping
- While we have hand-torn cotton paper to achieve a similar look, real handmade paper produces a natural deckle that cannot be replicated
- No machine-made paper can compare to the texture and character of handmade paper
✋🏼 Cons:
- Really difficult to print digitally, so letterpress and/or foil stamping is the way to go for consistent results
- Cost. It’s going to cost more than regular machine-made paper.
- Turnaround. We aren’t able to rush these.

Obsessed with this black and white beauty. 🖤🤍 Crisp letterpress printing, a vellum wrap with floral detail, and a contrasting envelope liner took this minimalistic and clean design and brought it to the next level! What are some of your favorite embellishments to dress up an invitation suite?

Just reminiscing over this custom letterpressed invitation suite. 😍 We remixed our Elysian Suite and added gold leaf to the corners. And yes, we hand painted every single invitation to complement their color palette. Labor of love from beginning to end. 🌹
We have availability for custom invitations, but we only take on a limited number of projects because they really do take SO much time and energy to get just perfect. 👌🏼 Secure your spot in our production calendar by scheduling a free consult with me. All it takes is a convo about your ideas. Now booking for April weddings and beyond for custom suites. 😘
Because your wedding invitations should be a timeless keepsake ❤️

Purity Suite 🤍 featuring the ever classic Calla Lily and a splash of gold foil. ✨
We love how this couple worded their wedding celebration invitations, which took place on a different day than their intimate ceremony. It’s so important to us that we help our couples come up with creative ways to announce their marriage and still have an elevated wedding invitation that sets the tone for the day. We had quite a few requests like this last year, with couples opting for a simple ceremony and hosting a bigger reception later. 🥳
We’re booking 2024-2025 brides now! Contact us to book an invitation consultation and let us know how we can take this off your plate. 📞💌
Happy holidays! Here’s our holiday card reveal… featuring a fun little puzzle hand drawn by me and my husband (inspired by the historical puzzle maker, Sam Loyd). It’s the one time a year we exercise our creativity and collaborate when we’re not busy with weddings and I gotta say, it’s been HILARIOUS getting texts from our friends asking if they solved it correctly. If you’re curious, send me a DM and I’ll send you a jpg of the puzzle to try yourself! 😂
Our shop is closed until January 2nd to soak up all the holiday goodness with family, but we are so excited for 2024 and what’s to come! Enjoy this festive season and a huge thank you to all my couples, wedding planners, vendors, and collaborators for an amazing year. 🙏🏼🎄
Today is the big day for these two!! Congrats M&M. Thanks for trusting me do my thing.. your wedding stationery was so much fun to create and captures your vibe completely! 🪩
