CUSTOM DESIGN
Created for couples planning design-forward celebrations with a strong sense of place, The Custom Design Experience is a fully tailored approach to wedding paper—rooted in thoughtful storytelling and an heirloom-quality finish.
From the initial concept through final production, each suite is developed as a cohesive visual narrative, extending seamlessly across invitations, day-of materials, and the broader wedding environment. Printing and finishing methods may include letterpress, blind embossing, custom die-cutting, velvet printing, and other specialty techniques, selected in service of the design.
The process includes in-depth consultation, creative direction, design development, artisan production, and white-glove assembly. To maintain an exceptional level of artistry and attention, the studio accepts a limited number of commissions each year.
Custom invitation suites begin at $5,500. Most clients invest between $8,000–$12,000 for a comprehensive wedding paper experience.

We recommend reserving your date 10–18 months in advance to allow for the full creative process.

SAVE THE DATES + INVITATIONS
The wedding announcement is the first introduction to your celebration, and first impressions are never incidental. From save the dates to the invitation suite, each piece offers a glimpse into what’s to come—setting the tone and establishing a sense of anticipation for the experience ahead.

Each custom project begins with a thoughtful consultation, designed to uncover the story behind the celebration—how it should feel, what it should convey, and the vision guiding it. Prior to our conversation, a curated sample box is sent for your review, offering a tactile introduction to materials, printing methods, and finishes.

From there, the design process unfolds with intention. An initial concept is developed, followed by a collaborative refinement of details. Once the suite has been finalized and approved, production begins. Each piece is then carefully assembled and mailed directly to guests, ensuring a seamless and considered experience through the final step.
DAY-OF STATIONERY
Invitations establish the expectation of an extraordinary celebration, while day-of stationery is thoughtfully designed to create a cohesive flow as the celebration unfolds. Truly memorable events are those that surprise and delight guests at every turn, and each piece we design is conceived with the guest experience foremost in mind.

From embroidered linens at every place setting to foil-pressed cocktail napkins bearing an inside joke, or a wooden sailboat sign honoring the couple’s weekend regattas, each element is functional, thoughtful, and feels unmistakably personal.

Design Philosophy
At the heart of every suite is a story. Our design philosophy is guided by the couple’s narrative, the setting, and the desired guest experience. Each decision—from typography to paper to print method—is intentional, ensuring your stationery is both personal and timeless. Every suite is unique, a reflection of the couple and their vision, not a pre-set template.
Materials & Craft
The tactile and visual quality of each piece is paramount. We work with handcrafted papers, letterpress, blind embossing, foil, and specialty finishes to produce heirloom-quality suites. These artisanal details distinguish fully custom work from semi-custom alternatives, ensuring your wedding paper is as exceptional as the celebration itself.
