A little studio check-in from me. I’m Alicia, and A little studio check-in from me.

I’m Alicia, and if you’re new here, I design custom wedding invitations and day-of paper from my studio in Pittsburgh for couples who want their paper to feel like theirs, not like a template.

I’ve been quiet on the grid lately (busy season has a way of swallowing posting plans) but there’s so much beautiful work coming off my desk right now that I can’t wait to share.

More soon. In the meantime, if you’re planning a 2027 or 2028 wedding, my inquiry link is in bio.

Every piece of Margaret and John’s suite was desig Every piece of Margaret and John’s suite was designed to feel like Pittsburgh, from the moment guests opened the envelope.

A yellow bridge liner inside an olive green envelope. Elegant script on the invitation for their day at the Pittsburgh Botanic Garden. An illustrated map of the city, a wedding weekend card, a rehearsal dinner card with its own illustration, and a bold pink RSVP with a QR code to their wedding website.

Lots of color, lots of pieces, and it all still feels like one story.

Christa and Matthew said yes at Peters Creek Bapti Christa and Matthew said yes at Peters Creek Baptist Church and celebrated at Bramblewood Farm, so both places made it onto their invitations.

The gatefold opens on the church, the barn shows up alongside the details, and an illustrated map connects the two. Then there’s the liner, inspired by Monet’s garden, peeking out of a soft blue envelope.

Have a venue (or two) you want guests to remember? Send me a DM and let’s talk about your suite.

Winston and Crosby had two very important messages Winston and Crosby had two very important messages for the guests: drinks on us, and we do too.

I’m Alicia, a wedding stationery designer and calligrapher in Pittsburgh and beyond, and custom pet illustrations are one of the easiest ways to make your bar feel like you. Two napkin designs, two colors, and one very clear message from the dogs.

Want your pets at the bar? Send me a DM with their best photo and your wedding date.
