Your Style, Your Day

You know which flowers you want, the bridesmaid dresses have been selected, the cake considered; now all you need is to finish your vision with the perfect wedding paper collection that will capture the essence of you.

I've designed several different styles to cater to almost any bride. I know how important this day is because it was just that important to me over 3 years ago. I still remember trying out various color schemes, checking out venues, drooling over wedding cakes in several bridal magazines, and envisioning exactly how I wanted my hair done among many other choices I had to make. Being a designer, my favorite part was designing my invitations. I couldn't find anything online that truly captured the look I was going for. My hope is to make this a lot easier for you than it was for me. Any of my collections can be customized by color, font or wording to give your wedding paper a personal touch and to make sure it sets the tone for the main event.

Let's face it, we all know you will be gorgeous, breath-taking, and the most perfect bride ever. And there are so many things that make you unique and original from everyone else. So make sure you pick a collection that reflects you and your style so that when people see it, they think "wow, that is totally her!".

When it all began

As a child I had a fascination with paper. In early elementary school I was always writing short stories and illustrating them with my 24 pack of crayolas. Whenever I received a new type of paper to work with, it thrilled me. I still remember receiving a small journal that had glossy paper. I loved the way it smelled and the shine it gave. Immediately I went to work on creating what I considered to be a novel. I don't recall ever finishing it or what it actually was about, what stands out to me was the excitement of working with a new type of paper.

As a fifth-grader, I decided to start my own stationery company. Using stamps, stickers, pens and cardstock I developed several book marks. A simple hole punch in the top and a ribbon that served as a tassel, completed the look I was after. I also developed stationery and greeting cards with the same stamp, sticker and pen combination. Thinking my work was very professional, I decided to start selling them to my classmates, church members and relatives. I think the going rate for a bookmark was 5 cents.

Now today I am finally fulfilling my childhood dream of owning my own stationery company. Only this time, I've left behind the stickers and stamps and have stuck to what I truly love; paper. To this day I love the smell of paper, especially when it's fresh off of the press. There is something truly rewarding about seeing your creative work in all its glory printed on a beautiful smooth white piece of cardstock.
