Lecco, Italy

Italian Elegance

When Serena and Marcus approached us, they were feeling disheartened. Having previously worked with a stationery designer who prioritized her personal portfolio over their individual story, Serena felt unheard and cautious. They needed a true creative partner, someone who would listen, communicate transparently, and build a relationship rooted in trust.

Set to wed in the summer of Lecco, Italy at Villa Subaglio, Serena and Marcus envisioned custom wedding stationery defined by timeless Italian elegance. Their dream aesthetic was regal and architectural, designed to mirror their venue. Serena specifically longed for ornate flourishes, romantic greenery, and delicate baby cherubs throughout the suite.

The Collaborative Process
To overcome their past challenges, we immediately set a tone of  collaboration. During our creative meeting, we listened to their priorities, walked them through paper selections, and ensured they felt completely in control of their vision. We reassured them that their wedding invitations are meant to serve as their personal, cherished heirloom, not a piece for our own portfolio.

By honoring their style, we designed a breathtaking bespoke suite. The letterpress invitation card was encased in a sleek vellum wrap, held together by a pink silk ribbon and an antique gold wax seal. To reflect the majestic estate grounds, we introduced an envelope liner that was an illustration of their venue and the green grounds.

The final result was a cohesive work of art that captured true Italian elegance in every detail. Most importantly, Serena and Marcus were overjoyed to see their vision brought to life, proof that exceptional design begins with listening.
