Our intent is for the artisan details to be discovered rather than seen at first glance; for each touch point to feel like a work of art.

For Ling and Chris' place card holders, (right) they wanted to share their appreciation for art with their guests. We worked with a ceramic artist to design and create keepsake bud vases that displayed the name of each guest on a petal.

For I&A's invitation suite (below), the couple wanted to showcase their love of high fashion floral prints in a way that didn't feel flashy or ostentatious. We created a custom floral painting and paired it with minimalistic graphic design, a stitched booklet and subtle embossing details. The end result felt understated yet strikingly elevated.
For the Promontory dinner menus (below), Jesse wanted to represent spring as an explosive burst of energy that referenced florals in an innovative way.
We created layered monoprints of pressed wild flowers so they looked like wild, expressive art forms. They were accompanied by etched ceramic place cards.

“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."

Process
Keeping our process seamless and stress-free is just as important to us as delivering exceptional deliverables. Every detail is meticulously managed in-house using a white-glove approach to ensure the highest quality end-result. We tailor our process to each client- whether they are the collaborative type or prefer for us to go through their planner- we take our cue from them to ensure a smooth, easy and bespoke client experience.
Our current minimum for custom design projects is $16K, however most couples spend between $30K+ for custom designed save the dates, invitations and day-of goods.
"The format that Elsa used for us to review/approve proofs, and the way she presented her ideas was seamless - we loved every step of the process."
Nick and Ryan | happy couple
