I believe in paper that gets kept. In invitations that come out of an envelope and stop someone for a moment before they read a single word.
I believe in the small, slow craft of designing something by hand, in a season when almost nothing is made that way anymore.
In stationery that becomes the first chapter of a wedding day and the last keepsake of it, tucked into a drawer and pulled out years later when someone wants to remember.
I was born and raised in [hometown], and after marrying my husband [name], we settled in [current town], where I run my studio from a small room with very good light and far too many drawers of paper samples.
Since then, I've designed wedding suites for couples up and down the East Coast, from oceanfront estates in the Hamptons to family compounds in Nantucket to private weddings on the marshes of the Lowcountry.
My love for paper has taken me to print shops in [city], stationery houses in [city], and more than one estate sale where I've come home with old fountain pens and pressed-flower correspondence cards from the 1940s.
But no matter how far the work travels, the cotton paper on my desk and the wax warming on a small dish beside it will always be where the real work happens.
I believe in paper you want to hold. In wedding invitations that don't look like everyone else's, in menus that guests slip into a pocket on their way home, in envelope addressing so beautiful the postman pauses before he drops it through the slot.
I began designing stationery [X] years ago, after [origin moment — a personal wedding, a job in publishing, a calligraphy class that wouldn't let go, a family of letterpress printers, a season working under a stationer in [city]]. What started as one favor for one bride became a portfolio, became a studio, became the work I now do nearly every day.
Whenever I sit down at the desk for a new couple, I'm trying to do one thing well. To listen carefully enough that the suite I design feels like it could only have been theirs. The same wedding designed for two different couples should look like two different weddings, and that only happens when the designer takes the time to ask the right questions.
Even with all the planning and proofing and shipping that goes into a season of weddings, every suite still feels like a privilege to design. Your love story, your day, your paper. I can't wait to make something for you.
It’s nice to meet you,

. Three different guests asked who designed them before they even RSVP'd. [Designer Name] took the small notes we gave her and turned them into something more beautiful than we could have described ourselves.
“everything felt
LIKE A LOVE LETTER”
Caroline Whitfield
From our first call, she understood exactly what we wanted, something timeless, a little romantic, and unmistakably us. The suite she designed felt like a love letter to our day before it even arrived, and I have ours framed in our entryway a year later.
“the easiest decision we made in our ENTIRE WEDDING ”

You will find me running my fingers along a stack of cotton samples before any other part of the design even begins.

Rain or shine. Less about the produce, more about the slow morning, the good coffee, and the way dried flower vendors arrange things.

I picked it up a few years ago and now I have a small wheel in the corner of my studio. I say it makes me a better designer because it forces me to slow down and work with my hands in a completely different way.
