For Nera and Jim's invitation suite, (right), we created a custom painting for the invitation box, and wedding day decor. This artwork was rich in symbolism, incorporating elements meaningful to their relationship and respective cultures. As a surprise, the original painting was framed and waiting for them in their hotel room after the wedding festivities.

For I&A's invitation suite, (below) the couple wanted to share their love for high fashion floral prints without coming across as flashy or ostentatious. To achieve this, we crafted a custom floral painting, which integrated seamlessly with minimalistic graphic design elements, a stitched booklet and registered embossing details. The suite perfectly encapsulating the essence of "quiet luxury."

For the Promontory dinner menus, (below), Jesse aimed to capture the essence of spring as an explosive burst of energy. To achieve this vision, we created layered monoprints using pressed wildflowers, resulting in dynamic and expressive art pieces. Etched ceramic place cards added even further to the depth and dimension of the tablescape.

“Elsa’s art is insane...she is a true artist. She sees your overall vision and incorporates it into her paper goods flawlessly. She’s also amazing to work with...she’s organized and on top of every detail and timeline. As a planner, It’s imperative I work with vendors whose process is fluid, easy and flexible, and Elsa’s is just that."

With every project, there is a delicate balance between being reliable and being innovative. Meeting your deadlines and expectations is always top of mind, as is pushing boundaries and creating unique concepts tailored to your vision.
