Paper Refinery

Allison & Andrew’s gorgeous Greek wedding was an absolute dream!

I love spending holidays on an island somewhere, and am having the best time in Aruba with my husband! I was a bit disconnected yesterday, soaking up all the sunshine, so here I am a day late—wishing you a very happy Thanksgiving! I hope you all had a delicious meal and made the most wonderful memories with your loved ones.

October is National Women’s Small Business Month, and to say I’m proud to be a part of that category is an understatement. One of the scariest yet most rewarding decisions I’ve ever made was to pursue Paper Refinery full time. I just knew, deep in my gut, that I had to see what I could make of it! I could go on and on about how fortunate I am to love my job, look forward to Mondays, and get paid to create... but instead, I’d like to talk about YOU. That decision I made was almost 2 years ago exactly, and all of the success I’ve had has been because of my amazing clients. All of you who have believed in me, supported me, trusted me, and allowed me to be a part of the biggest moments in your lives. I am so grateful for each and every one of you! I’ve truly been so lucky to love all my clients, and your role in helping my small business grow has been such a gift. THANK YOU, from the very bottom of my heart. 😘😘😘

Letterpress is an amazing way to add a little texture to your invitations. Rather than printing the ink right on top of the paper (flat printing), letterpress is a technique that actually presses the ink into it, leaving a gorgeous textured imprint. It’s more expensive than flat printing, but the results are so worth it!

This gorgeous NYC wedding was so much fun to be a part of! Check out all the pretty photos, including the Jackie Suite that I personalized for Nicole and Matt.

Proof that presentation is everything! These modern letterpress suites were perfectly packaged for each guest to carefully unwrap and the result was 🙌🏻. One of the many reasons this was one of my favorite fall wedding suites! 💌

I am a beach girl at heart, so I was elated to help and with some paper goods for an event in Turks & Caicos this summer. This invite was all about texture, clean lines and bringing just a hint of the Caribbean. The blind pressed enclosure with handmade silk ribbon from paired with the letterpress wave liner turned out so perfect! 🙌🏻 This was such a fun project! 📷:

Instead of an insert in your invitation suite, why not send a separate invitation for your welcome party? It’s a great way to get your guests excited about the weekend festivities!

Are you getting married in spring/summer 2020? Now is the perfect time to book your stationer, get your save the dates out and start the invitation process. My calendar is already filling in for 2020, and I will fill up for March through June weddings again! So, hit me up so that we can create something amazing together, like these pretty save the dates I made with for Claire and Andrew! 💕

I've been getting tons of requests for these fan menus (and program versions!) since RuffledBlog posted about them a couple of months ago. Now Martha Stewart Weddings has featured them as well! 🤯
