It was such an honor to be Jennifer and Ben's wedding stationer. They were married at their private estate in Georgia, surrounded by family and friends. With the help of Colin Cowie and his amazing team, we crafted a custom invitation suite that included a map of the island, letterpressed handmade paper in shades of green, and a personal letter from Ben to the guests. We designed a few monograms that were carried out in various elements throughout the week in addition to menus, bar signs, escort cards, itineraries, etc.

Jacquie and Scott had the most beautiful wedding weekend at the Banyon Tree Mayakoba Resort in Mexico. Inspired by the atmosphere of the resort, we incorporated a custom venue illustration on vellum, icons for the events, wax seals and rattan woven paper into the invitation suite. Jacquie & Scott are also incredible golfers; it's a large part of their life together and how they got engaged as well! We incorporated many personalized golf touches such as engraved tees, custom score cards and engraved pencils.

Misha and Dara were married in a beautiful estate in Cannes, France. This elegant affair wanted to make the most of the venue, so the idea was to slowly transition from lavender, to lilac, to a deep purple by reception. We wanted the paper goods to reflect that with varying shades of purple on each card. Another detail of the stationery was the shape of the pool, which Misha would be walking down as the aisle. Their monogram design was inspired from that shape, and we also implemented the same shape on the wax seals, the invitation suite, and their dinner menus, which were letterpressed, foiled and backed with lavender velvet paper. This wedding was truly such a beautiful occasion and we are so happy to have been a part of it!

Francesca & Geordie's dreamy Cabo wedding weekend was one we will never forget! With a rehearsal dinner & welcome party to kick things off, the decor was inspired heavily by Mexican details and included a color palette that really packed a punch. Bright blues, oranges, reds, and yellows decorated the space next to our custom signage that included hand painted table number tiles and custom menus. The couple incorporated their custom monogram throughout the evening as well, with stickers on their cigar bar, the ping pong table, and a floating monogram in the pool.
For the wedding day, a more traditional color palette was seen in their luxurious day! An all white wedding overlooking the ocean was a breathtaking moment. We created a stunning invitation suite that included a box invitation and a folio with staggered cards for each event. Along with that, we designed programs, custom menus, and a floating rain shower escort wall.

It was so fun to be a part of Derrick Rose and Alaina Anderson's wedding at the Beverly Hills Hotel! For the vision of the wedding, we had to go with the obvious - lots and lots of roses! Integrating the rose into a few monogram options was a large aspect of the paper goods, but we also pulled in the playfulness of the hotel's aesthetic by using lots of pinks, greens, and the iconic palm tree leaf print. You can see this in their menus and custom merch for their guests. What a night to remember, congratulations to the Roses!

While Emily and Sven live in Sonoma, California, the bride loves summers in Michigan and they planned their wedding at Emily's childhood home. Inspired by the print of her childhood bedroom curtains, we came up with a similar pattern and colors to use throughout their invitation suite. Romantic summer garden party was the vibe, and we pulled in many custom fabric signs to match from the order of events, to a hanging sign off the cocktail bar, to some adorning the dessert shelf display.

Dark & Moody Wedding at Stanley Ranch
back to Featured Weddings
Mimi and Steve celebrated their wedding at the new Auberge Resort in Napa, Stanly Ranch. The overall vision for the celebration was to enhance what Stanly already has in place. The couple wanted to start with the lightest elements at the ceremony and then to transition to the more moody, formal textures and colors at the reception. Because of this, a lot of the paper materials had a mixture of light whites and dainty florals along with moody purples that were also used in the florals and linens throughout the reception.

Victoria and Timi's whimsical garden party wedding was hosted in beautiful Napa Valley at a stunning private estate. When creating the stationery for Victoria and Timi, we were inspired by European aesthetics and wanted to portray something romantic, feminine and personal.
