A modern celebration set against the historic beauty of Mission Basilica San Juan Capistrano and Serra Plaza. Custom venue illustrations, rich paper textures, and refined details
wove a story of old-world romance with a modern edge.
Laura & Tomas
With its storied architecture and significant history, Mission Basilica San Juan Capistrano provided a breathtaking setting for Laura and Tomas’ ceremony, followed by a refined celebration at Serra Plaza. Their wedding was a study in balance—honoring the rich character of their venues while embracing a modern, minimalist aesthetic. A palette of black, white, and soft neutrals allowed every intentional detail to shine, from tactile paper selections to the artful contrast of traditional and contemporary elements.
From the very first impression, their stationery set the tone. A custom monogram, paired with luxury paper textures like cotton, embossed soft-touch, and linen, created an understated yet elevated feel. Velvet black ribbon added a striking contrast, seamlessly blending modern refinement with old-world elegance. Two custom venue illustrations—one of the Mission for their hand-torn, booklet-style programs and another of Serra Plaza for their details card—wove sentiment into their suite.
Their day-of details echoed the same refined aesthetic through clean typography, layered textures, and thoughtful finishing touches in a seamless collaboration with The Kimi Collective. From their save-the-dates to their wedding day (and even the rehearsal dinner), every design choice was intentional—thoughtfully curated to tell their story. With every refined element, their celebration felt effortlessly cohesive, a perfect reflection of their vision and the significance of the day.

Timeless romance met California charm in this Tuscan-inspired celebration, where soft greens, gold accents, and thoughtful details brought warmth and personality to every moment.
Lexi & Adam
Set against a venue that blended Tuscan elegance with California charm, this wedding was a seamless mix of timeless design and meaningful details. A palette of soft greens, warm neutrals, and gold accents created an inviting, refined atmosphere, complemented by lush florals and natural textures.
To weave sentiment and cohesion into their stationery, we incorporated hand-illustrated poppies, a nod to California’s state flower, and a custom envelope liner that mirrored the intricate fleur pattern of their napkins—bringing an extra layer of intentionality to their design. Their invitation suite balanced tradition with a modern, organic feel, featuring hand-torn edges, a sage chiffon ribbon tied to match the bridesmaids’ dresses, and a gold wax seal embossed with poppies.
For their wedding day, every detail felt like a reflection of their story. Table numbers and signage carried through the elegant motifs of their suite, while menus became a standout moment of their celebration. As a nod to the groom’s career as a pilot, we designed custom paper airplane menus that doubled as a playful, interactive touch—first serving as a guide to their thoughtfully curated meal, then later becoming part of a lighthearted photo moment with guests. A wedding filled with sentiment, elegance, and the kind of details that make a celebration truly unforgettable.

A summer celebration in paradise, with soft pastels, playful details, and uniquely shaped stationery that added a fun yet refined touch.
Samm & Andrew
Samm & Andrew envisioned a wedding that felt like a getaway—effortless, elegant, and full of personality. Set at Paradise Point in San Diego, their celebration embraced a summery palette of soft pinks, purples, and warm neutrals, striking the perfect balance between classic and playful. Crisp linens and candlelight added a sense of timelessness, allowing the organic florals and curated details to shine.
To complement the vibrant floral design, we created a collection of day-of stationery that embraced soft, modern shapes and delicate color pairings. Menus and thank-you notes, layered at each place setting, featured custom-cut silhouettes like elongated arches and partial scallops—adding a fun yet refined touch to the tablescape. Table numbers and tabletop signage echoed the same aesthetic, while a hand-painted cocktail sign brought an artful, personal element to the bar. Every detail worked together to create a celebration that was as joyful and welcoming as the couple themselves.

Katie & Derek
Katie & Derek envisioned a celebration that felt effortless yet deeply personal—blending vintage romance with natural textures and warm terracotta tones. Every detail was thoughtfully chosen, from the lush floral arrangements to the earthy, timeworn accents that tied everything together.
To create a cohesive experience from the first impression to the wedding day, we illustrated floral elements that carried through their entire stationery suite—save-the-dates, invitations, and day-of details. Their three-piece invitation suite featured gold foil, delicate torn edges, and a wax seal with pressed florals, setting the tone for a celebration rooted in intention and artistry. Their day-of paper continued that vision with fan-style programs (a perfect touch for an unseasonably warm day), delicate place cards, table numbers, and a seating chart accented with hand-painted details. Bar signage crafted from canvas and pressed florals, along with creative wine and beer signage displayed on flower pots, brought the terracotta inspiration full circle.
A wedding filled with beauty, sentiment, and the kind of thoughtful details that made it feel entirely their own—an effortless blend of romance, warmth, and intentional design.

For her 30th birthday, Jocelyn envisioned a celebration straight from the pages of a regency-era novel, where playful details met timeless elegance. The bright pastel florals kept things light and whimsical, while the refined stationery brought a sense of old-world charm—setting the perfect tone for an unforgettable gathering.
The custom invitation suite introduced the experience with hand-torn edges, regency-era embellishments, and an art print envelope liner of a countryside estate. But the real intrigue was in the inserts: a game description styled like Lady Whistledown’s Society Papers and a custom character card for each guest—complete with silver foil and a blush wax seal. At the party, silk ribbon place cards tied into delicate bows adorned each wine glass, and elegant place settings completed the look. Every element worked together to transport guests into an evening of regency-inspired mystery, celebration, and charm.
