Design Guide //
This guide offers inspiration for the tactile and visual elements of your custom project. You’ll find a curated selection of papers, colors, foil swatches, envelopes, and embellishments — from crushed velvet ribbons to grommets and beyond. It’s here to spark ideas and help you uncover what feels most like you.
Don’t see exactly what you're dreaming of? This is simply a guide. Custom means custom, and I’m excited to create something that’s never been done before.
I thrive on bold ideas and unexpected details. Let’s design something iconic.
Paper Selections
Your paper choice sets the tone for everything that follows. My curated house selection ranges from crisp 110# to luxuriously hefty 222# and beyond, with textures from velvety soft to satisfyingly tactile. Choose from a spectrum of colors or keep it timeless with wedding white — the perennial favorite.
You’ll find cotton stocks, artisanal handmade sheets, to delicate seeded papers, and sustainable picks like hemp or recycled paper sprinkled with wheat or fern flecks. Edges can be sleek and straight or romantically deckled. Every project starts with your vision, and I’ll source or create the perfect paper to bring it to life.
Specialty and recycled papers are available in their natural hue. For colored paper options, you’ll find the available house shades below. Additional colors can be sourced to perfectly match your vision.
Printing Techniques
Foil
Metallic or pigmented foil is heat-pressed onto paper with precision, creating a shiny, tactile design that grabs the light and attention. Perfect for adding bold, luxe details and edge.

Debossing
A design pressed deep into the paper (without foil), leaving a bold, sunken impression you can see and feel.

Embossing
The opposite of debossing: a design is raised above the paper’s surface, adding dimension and a tactile pop.
Foil Types + Colors
Foil isn’t one-size-fits-all — it comes with personality. From soft matte finishes that feel understated and modern, to high-shine metallics that catch the light with every angle, to bright, glossy foils that make a statement — your choice of foil sets the tone for your design. Whether you’re going for timeless elegance, sleek minimalism, or an unapologetic pop of color, there’s a foil style to match your vision.
Foil comes in a stunning range of shades, and while only a handful are highlighted here*, they’re just the beginning. Consider these a sneak peek. The full palette is expansive and can be sourced by request during the booking process.

Envelope Options + Paper Colors
Envelope colors are thoughtfully chosen to complement the paper selections mentioned above. These shades are also available in our house paper collection for a perfectly coordinated look, if that’s your vision. The colors shown represent preferred house stocks, but because every project is bespoke, I’m happy to source custom shades to match your ideas. Together, we’ll craft a combination that’s distinctly yours.
