One thing I won’t stop talking about . .

A love letter to newly engaged couples 💌

is the need for engaged couples to actually ENJOY their engagement while planning their wedding.

Look around - everything is frozen outside and covered in ice, and yet somehow in the wedding industry, we have people pushing all this urgency out into the ether. Messaging like “BOOK NOW or else” and “you NEED to do this” abound, even as we are only a week into the new year. And while I totally respect the need for some of this urgency - timelines are real, vendors should absolutely market their work, and not booking someone soon might mean missing out on their expertise - I also respect my clients’ relationships and engagements.

Because being engaged is not only about planning a wedding. It’s about savoring and celebrating and telling the story of how it happened over and over and over. It’s about slow mornings over coffee, scheming up where the band could go and what you’ll serve and all the different things your day could be. It’s about, before rushing into logistics, giving yourselves the space to dream.

Because from that place, you’ll create a wedding and experience that not only feels like you - rather than just another copy and paste of what you think you’re supposed to do - but you’ll also get to enjoy the journey along the way. And, as a wedding stationery designer working with couples on the little details that come before, and during, and after the day, I think it’s so important to focus on enjoying the journey along the way. Through my art, I want to help you celebrate your story and center your relationship throughout the process - so that you can stay anchored in what this whole thing is all about, anyway.

So, allow yourself to take some time to soak it all in. And, once you have some decisions made that feel good in your bones (think date, venue and guest count that have you giddy with delight), I’d love to chat about bringing your love story to life, creating invitations that reflect who you are and help you hold onto what matters - the whole way through.

For a little bit longer, though, I hope you remember to focus on you 💌

Warmly,

Sage

Love Story Wedding Stationery is really about listening.

I fully believe that my work as an artist and a designer is not just about creating pretty things - but pretty things that are also deeply personal, playful and meaningful. I’m a hopeful romantic - it’s no wonder I ended up in wedding stationery! - and so weaving in sentimental touches to your stationery is super important to me.

And what that means in the design process is I start out by doing a lot of listening. To your love story and how you met and what you love about each other. To the colors you like and don’t like. To everything you share on your questionnaire - and everything you don’t. And then, it’s about taking all of these seemingly disparate threads (hiking and cooking and the color blue) and weaving them all together into something that feels like YOU. It’s about hearing your ideas and listening so deeply that I can hear beyond them - for something greater than what you might even be able to articulate, but that ties the whole design together.

The end result is art that you get to send straight to your guests, your love story illustrated and on display on your wedding day, and a process that hopefully helped you and your partner’s relationship deepen along the way.

Want to get in on the creative journey? I’m booking into 2026 and can’t wait to listen to your love story!

Warmly,

Sage

Making Wedding Stationery FUN again 💌

When I first started designing wedding stationery, a lot of the feedback I got was that my work was “fun.” At the time, I felt ashamed by that - thinking that the compliment I should be receiving was “beautiful” or “flawless” or “timeless.” And while my work has certainly evolved since then, I have come to wear that compliment of “fun” as a badge of honor.

We want our weddings to be fun. We want our guests to enjoy themselves, dance all night, laugh at the speeches and savor the passed apps. And yet, somehow we think the invitations and artwork welcoming everyone in to this experience need to contain the formality of our grandmothers’ era. But no more.

Because I believe wedding stationery can be fun while being elevated. Bold while being beautiful. Playful while being polished. And so I am celebrating that my work is seen as fun - because that’s the experience I want for my clients, for their guests and their vendor team. While stress cannot be avoided in wedding planning, I’m here to bring as much color, playfulness and * hopeful * romanticism into the process as humanly possible. Not just in the designs we create together, but in the way I walk you through the process, every step of the way. Your wedding is not just one day - it’s the whole journey leading up to it - so why not make it FUN, together?
