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?

Reminder to all the stressed out brides - Your love story is worth sharing. Worth celebrating. And worth investing in.
But if you’re anything like me, maybe you grew up feeling otherwise. You weren’t “born a bride” like your other friends whose weddings you’ve attended previously - you haven’t been building your mooboard since before you met your person, and your life and your love story have been anything but traditional.
And so, when it comes time to plan your marriage to your person and you find it hard to see yourself in the copy-paste weddings you see everywhere, you figure it’s better to shrink down. Maybe you have people in your ear saying things like “what a waste of money for just one day,” or “ugh, another wedding.” Maybe you consider eloping, or doing a courthouse ceremony, to avoid the stress of it all. But deep down? You want more. Something bigger, bolder, and more you than you know how to explain - simply because it hasn’t been done before.
But here’s the thing - your wedding isn’t just one day, and it isn’t just another wedding. It’s your wedding, celebrating your love story, which you and your partner have been building for years, through all the ups and the downs. And that is so worth celebrating - even and especially if it hasn’t been traditional!
Does that mean you need to invite 300 people and invest in every possible item on your budget? No, of course not. But it’s a reminder not to think small just because you’re scared to take up space.
Your love story is a work of art - full of its imperfections, beauty, and a whole lot of hard work that went into getting here. Your wedding is the same. If you’re looking to make a work of art out of your wedding and want to create stationery and signage and magic that’s as colorful and different and nontraditional as you are - reach out today to get the creative process started 💌 I want to help celebrate you!
Enjoying the process of planning (as much as you enjoy the product)
So much of wedding planning is focused on this One. Big. Day. So naturally, you stress and worry about making it perfect and the best day of your whole life. And then you wonder why you were barely able to actually enjoy your big day?
Because you didn’t focus on enjoying yourself THE WHOLE WAY.
Instead, I invite my clients (and you!) to think of your wedding not just as the one day, but all the days leading up to it and all the work that you put in. Yes, the engagement parties and bachelorette trips, but also the recurring fight with your fiancé about the guest list, and the tension you work through with your families about where to have the rehearsal dinner. This is not something to be jumped over to get to the destination - this is all part of the process of planning a big event with your person, and beginning to build a big life together.
This is also why I love getting to work with couples on their wedding stationery - because it’s one of the few wedding vendors whose work really takes place BEFORE the wedding day. I love making this process as enjoyable and intentional and FUN as possible.
