Stationery slowly became part of my life when I worked at my mom’s gift shop, a beloved little place where relationships mattered as much as what was wrapped and carried out the door. Somewhere between helping customers, paging through Crane, William Arthur, and Vera Wang sample books, I fell in love with letterpress. I always dreamed—never fully believing it was possible—that one day I’d have my own press and print letterpress myself. And now, here I am, mixing ink to print on my press. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #modernpresspaperstudio #letterpress #weddingstationer

a closer look at our welcome bags! i really loved finding gifts for our guests ~ not everything is pictured, so i added my little scrappy @canva moodboard (bc she’s a visual girly). • the bag itself was really hard to find bc i didn’t want jute. after weeks of trying, i ended up selecting a square canvas tote from @etsy which was exactly what i had in mind. • i worked with @studioscf to design a welcome note and custom playing cards and shannon exceeded all my expectations—they are just beautifully crafted 💕 • it was a summer wedding, so we needed paper fans! ordered off of @amazon and collaborated with @modernpress to wrap the fans with custom vellum paper. • ravello is a walking town (no cars allowed), so my mom and i knew we had to give everyone black (duh) @oldnavy flip flops 🩴 we found cute canvas shoe bags and added a note designed by @modernpress that said, “bag your stilettos ~ stroll to ceremony, reception, and all around ravello!” • it’s not a wedding on the amalfi coast without limoncello!! we included limoncello made in town @profumi_della_costiera and a small hand painted ceramic glass to go with it 🍋 • my nonnas always had homemade taralli in the pantry, so it was an absolute must for our welcome bags. @ziopasqualesrl ’s classic taralli are incredibly delicious and made for the perfect addition. • yes, we traveled with @enzos.table biscotti bc they really are that good hehe • italian mints that happen to come in a green tin?! 100%, yes. • lastly, one of my favorite bottled waters: @acquapanna !! couldn’t have done it without @italianweddingsandevents helping source items and putting together all the welcome bags (and my mom secretly upping quantities for the surprise guests) 🤍

In a quiet little town in Italy, love came full circle. Our bride and groom said “I do” in the same village where her grandparents were married—a place rich with family history and meaning. To honor that legacy, we lined their envelopes with a custom watercolor of the village, beautifully painted by @katiebelden.art - the backdrop of their celebration and the invitation suite. Sometimes the most beautiful details are the ones that hold generations of love within them. . . . . .

Oh summer days…. They tease of slow mornings, savoring of the morning coffee, time for reflection and space to sit and read, or finally get to those unfinished projects. But the truth is they come and go like a flurry of mini tornados - loud, fun, cries of boredom, chaos, quiet, conflict, resolution, cook, clean, cook again…and then it’s lunchtime… I do love summer, but I’m excited for what this year holds - structure, time with friends, learning, growing and most importantly gathering around the dinner table after a long day apart. But first, I need to catch up on a few things…with my coffee..while it’s quiet. . . . . . #stationery #papergoods #paperstudio #design

Every March brings one of my favorite events of the year! Collaborating with the incredible @kimberlyjoyevents has been nothing short of magical. Together, we bring her visionary themes to life—crafting every stationery detail - invitations, seating charts, menus, place cards and no event is complete without a beautiful parting gift and thoughtful thank you note. . . . . . #modernpresspaperstudio #fresnoinvitations #smallbusiness #smallbusinessowner #stationerydesigner #stationery #paperlove #paperie #papergoods #bespokeinvitations

Elegance begins with grit—the kind that comes from hands-on work and a passion for getting every detail just right. Production begins here with this timeworn cutter, slicing through thick cardstock like butter. (Thank goodness for safety features!) . . . . . #behindthescenes #stationery #papergoods #paperstudio #design #californiaweddings #fresnoevents #modernpress

There’s beauty in watching things grow—whether it’s a plant thriving in its cozy corner, kids stepping into a something new with courage and heart, or a new design coming to life. . . . . . #officevibes #plantlover #studioplants #paperstudio #motherhood #modernpresspaperstudio #fresnoinvitations #smallbusiness #smallbusinessowner #stationery #paperlove #paperie #papergoods
