Gracious Bridal Design House

Gracious Bridal was started in 2006 by mother and daughter duo, Brenda Cascio and Audrey Craig. We love creating all the fabulous details for weddings and events.

We design and create here in beautiful Austin Texas. Brenda does most of the designing, Audrey designs, proofs, and corresponds with customers. Carolina, Katie, Michelle, & Avery help with proofs, shipping and correspondence, while Morgan also adds Social Media to her to do list, and Allison, photography and web development. 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!

Shop members

  • Audrey & Brenda

    Owner

    A Mother/Daughter duo from Austin TX creating all the fabulousness you need for parties and weddings. Since 2006, they have brought their creativity to the finer details of weddings and events, and now recently expanded into corporate branding.

  • Audrey

    Maker And Production, Designer

    I like clean designs, a wow factor, and seeing my customers get excited about what I design for them. I relish the opportunity to work directly one on one with customers to help them get just what they need.

  • Brenda

    Maker, Designer, All Things Creative

    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.

  • Allison

    Photographer, Designer, Customer Service

    Fate brought this native Texan to the GB team in 2016. She loves creating clean modern designs, and problem solving for the group. When she's off the clock, she loves to cook, swim, and adventure.

  • Carolina

    Customer Service, Designer

    Born Argentinian yet proudly Texan, she started at GB in 2010. Returning from abroad in 2016, she enjoys the sense of fun she shares with her coworkers daily. This resident feminist adds a touch of personality & a lot of enthusiasm to the GB team.

  • Avery

    Customer Service, Designer

    From Houston, I moved to Austin after attending college in Greenville, SC. I met Audrey at a workout class, and started at GB a few weeks later.I enjoy adventures, cheese, and snuggles with my golden doodle. I'm also known for marathoning Netflix!

  • Michelle

    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.

  • Katie

    Customer Service, Designer, Social Media

    I started with GB in 2011 while studying advertising at UT. I moved to full-time after graduating & love working with our fun & creative team. I love designs that make our clients smile! I enjoy live music, practicing yoga and learning new recipes.

Additional policies and FAQs
❤ PROOFS ❤ Personalized items come with a free digital proof. This is for you to inspect and make sure we get it right before it hits the press. Please do it promptly so we may get the order into the production queue as quickly as possible. The production time does not begin until the proof is approved. Should the proof not be approved timely, it will delay the production of the order, and the date you receive it. It may then be necessary to incur rush processing fees to receive by your need-by date.

❤ PERSONALIZATION ❤ Please put all personalization details, color options and date needed in the "message to seller" at checkout. We cannot be responsible to match convo's to orders, and if there is no information in the order, it will delay the production.

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.
