5 out of 5 starsThis is our second time working with Melissa. We purchased our save-the-dates earlier this summer. And because we were so pleased with our purchase, there was no question where we would purchase our wedding invitations. She is professional and kind, and she is sincerely invested that you receive exactly what you want. You will not be disappointed in working with her. She provides beautiful products and also provides an easy and enjoyable experience. Thanks, Melissa!

Happily Ever After
Hi there! So happy you stopped by :)
I opened my shop in 2009 in hopes to share my creations with the world. I started out designing small stationary items, but since planning my wedding in May of 2012 I found a great love for event design and decor. Now I offer event and wedding paper goods as well as my original graphic and handmade items. I adore everything vintage as well as clean design, and that clearly shows through my work. I like to think I have a modern approach to design with a touch of whimsy.
My dream is for my work to be a part of people's lives. Whether it be giving a loved one a card I created or showcasing my wedding and event decor for your special day. Putting smiles on people's faces is worth all my time and hard work. I stress customer service 100% and make sure you are happy with the items and enjoy the process. All I want is to be a part of your happily ever after.
EXPERIENCE
Art and design is my life. I have a BFA in Graphic Design and 7 years of art studies under my belt. Since graduation in 2006, I have been professionally freelancing in the field as well as writing and editing on the side, so I bring over a decade of experience to the table when working with you on an order. I am very easy to communicate and work with and look forward to meeting you!

PRINTING PROCESS + MATERIALS
I have a special handpicked amount of printers I use for my items and most use earthy friendly processes and materials. There are times when I print in the studio as well. All my invitations, save the dates, and wedding suites are printed on 130lb archival paper that is acid free, elemental chlorine free, and made of 30% recycled content. I only use high quality paper stock so the design really shines.
These are the paper weights used for my items:
- 100lb. to 130lb. for wedding decor items and cards
- 130lb for save the dates, invites, announcements + wedding suites
* I also offer many other options, please inquire

BUDGETS
Just because you get the highest quality, doesn't mean it has to be the highest price. I strive to work with couples with lower budgets when needed, so more lucky lovebirds can be happy, get what they want, and not stress over money.
