Love Notes!

From start to finish, Cari made this one of the most enjoyable aspects of the wedding planning process. She encouraged me to share the inspiration behind our special day while also providing her own creative and unique spin on it. The results absolutely surpassed anything I was hoping for. I also cannot say enough good things about how helpful and sweet Cari was, answering any questions I had along the way. Cari went above and beyond.

Cari is a literal angel and was the most calming and kind, professional and patient artist to work with! She designed gorgeous bespoke letterpress for our invitations/detail cards/envelopes/etc. and really went above and beyond on all deliverables. She listened to my input & had fun with the design. I hope that I require formal stationary again soon so that we can work together again.

I cannot even describe how wonderful it was to work with Cari throughout the entire wedding planning process!  Cari was able to seamlessly incorporate our entire theme throughout each piece she designed. Everything was so unique, from our 2-sided Save-the-Dates, to a watercolor of our venue inside the envelopes of our invitations, even down to creating cocktail napkins that featured our beloved pup that were used on the day of the wedding!
