GB Design House
Gracious Bridal was started in 2006 by mother and daughter duo, Brenda Cascio and Audrey Craig. Over the years, Gracious Bridal evolved into GB Design House as our clientele expanded from brides looking for prefect details for their weddings to include companies looking for corporate marketing goods, and party planners looking to add a custom touch to their events. We love creating fabulous details for ALL weddings and events.
We design and create here in beautiful Austin, Texas. Brenda has since retired, passing the business to Audrey's capable hands. Shanti & Avery help with proofs, along with Michelle who also handles shipping, while Cori & Katie also add Social Media to their to do lists, and Allison, photography and web development, on top of corresponding with customers. After approval of proofs and designs, some larger orders may be sent to a U.S. printer that we are pleased to partner with.
Our goal is to help brides make their wedding day fabulous, to provide the perfect personalized touches for events, and to create custom gifts you and your friends will love! If you see something you love, but would like a different or custom design, just contact us and we will make your dream a reality!! We really are here for YOU!

Audrey's mom. Artist. Designer. Happiest with a pen or brush in my hand. I have to create -- it doesn't matter if it is a meal or a painting or custom napkins. I doodle in the steam on the shower door. It's like breathing for me.

Customer Service, Designer
I joined the GB team in 2017. My coworkers lovingly tolerate my tendency to blast heavy metal as I keep the studio organized and am a stickler for dotting the I's and crossing the T's. I am the voice you hear when calling our design studio.

ARE THE COLORS ACCURATELY REPRESENTED?
Regarding colors, please note: Colors on the digital proofs and photographs are represented as accurately as possible. We calibrate our computers here regularly. However, all computer screens, monitors, and devices are calibrated differently, therefore we cannot be responsible if the color on your screen does not match the actual color. Please contact us if you have a specific color need.
RECOMMENDED NAPKIN QUANTITY - RULE OF THUMB
A basic rule-of-thumb is 4 napkins per guest. This will vary depending upon the length and type of reception. Be mindful that you will want to order more than needed, especially if they will be used for multiple locations throughout the evening. We recommend, if ordering a larger quantity, not putting the date on all the napkins so the remaining napkins may be used at your new home.
