Custom Stationery, Illustrations, Graphic Design, and More

Thoughtfully Personalized Stationery Worthy of the Occasion

Hi! My name is Cara. I specialize in creating bespoke invitations, save-the-dates, reception signage, table numbers, and watercolor illustrations.

I know how overwhelming it can be to plan a wedding, let alone manage all the paper products + signage that go into one.

That’s why I’m here! Think of me as your personal illustrator and designer, here to take the pressure off so you can enjoy your wedding and walk away with something that truly speaks to you!

I have over six years of experience designing stationery for couples throughout New England and beyond, and I am passionate about creating an exciting, fun-filled custom design journey for my clients.

Please a look around to learn more about my services and fill out my contact form to get started. I can’t wait to meet you!

It’s More than Paper

Embark on Your Unique Custom Design Journey

Stationery is more than paper: It’s art to honor your story and the reason you’re celebrating.

That’s why it should reflect you, and only you.

As your custom designer and creative soundboard, I will capture your unique vision, ensuring seamless cohesion across all of the touchpoints that follow your invitations

…and there might be more than you think!

From drink signs to detail cards, there are so many opportunities to build upon the theme that we set with your invitations. Browse my portfolio to get inspired and see how I tie everything together!

The Journey

Five Steps, From Initial Consultation to Print.

01

Consultation

First, we chat! Tell me all about your story, how you met, what you’re envisioning — and don’t leave anything out! Those small, romantic details are what help me create something truly meaningful for you.

We can do this consultation on Zoom, on the phone, or over a cup of coffee if you’re in the Western, MA area! Convenience is the point of custom design, so you tell me what works best. This is also when I’ll walk you through some samples!

02

Initial Designs

I’ll take what I learned during our consultation and create 3 designs for you to choose from. This is where you sit back and relax! No reason to worry about the mailing timeline or how to word your wedding invitations — I’ll take care of it all and keep us on track.

You will let me know which design catches your eye the most, and that is the one we’ll start revisions on.

03

Revisions

Time for you to * temporarily * put your designer hat on and let me know if there’s anything specific you’d like to change or add. This is where a little collaboration comes in — and you can choose to be as hands-on or hands-off as you want!

04

Print

Yay, we did it! The moment that you are as happy as you can be with your stationery is the moment I send it off to print.

And now . . . we wait to see the final design. I always ensure the quality of your stationery before it goes to you for mailing, so once it gets my final approval, you can finally hold the long-awaited product in your hands!

05

The Big Day

Once your save-the-dates and invitations have been mailed out, I can start designing matching reception stationery to tie everything together. Signage, table settings, and detail cards are all things to think about for your big day!
