I just love it when a plan comes together, don't you? This wedding Wednesday, we're looking back on Sam and Drake's perfectly planned day! They envisioned a classic but cheerful wedding palette with abundant florals and handmade details.

Sam, her mom Tara, and I worked on so many beautiful projects together I'm not going to list them all here, but scroll through the photos for a few of my favorites!

I also had the pleasure of making flowers for Amanda and Tyler's wedding yesterday! It will be no surprise that they wanted sleek, modern florals to go with the day's aesthetic. White calla lilies were the perfect bloom for the vibe, accompanied by just a touch of tropical greenery. The best part? Since they're paper, Tyler's mom picked them up two weeks before the big day and drove them down to Florida for the wedding—and now the bridal party has a memento from the day that will last forever!

Happy wedding day to Amanda and Tyler! Amanda and her parents caught me in the shop the day after we lost power from Hurricane Helene—and despite being the only consultation I've ever done in my lounging-around-the-house clothes, she still booked. I loved the vision she had for her big day: modern aesthetic, clean lines, a minimal color palette, but very impactful.

In fact, I loved it so much I gave her more design options than I've done for any other client—I was just having too much fun! She decided on this edge-to-edge design, which translated perfectly across the rest of the enclosures. Everything was organized in a chic black pocket folder for the perfect preview to the big day! Congrats you two!

Y'all we made it—it's officially spring!

Happy new year! Card Club subscribers received some new seasonal designs along with a few old favorites in their mailboxes this week. My goal for 2025 is to print more, so join the club now to receive new designs all year long! besspapergoods.square.site/product/cardclub/20

I was honored to create signage for Emily and Matt’s wedding at The Transept last weekend! I made three-dimensional versions of the Art Nouveau floral motif we used throughout their stationery. Congrats you two!

Need a last minute gift that looks like you ordered it weeks ago? My monogram stationery spinner is stocked up with hand-printed card sets featuring vintage wood type initials in a variety of colors. Grab a set today—the shop is open 12-6!

This custom arrangement turned out even better than I expected! A customer brought in this teapot and asked me to fill it with flowers for her pink and dahlia-loving sister. What do you think?

I loved the flat-pack cacti I designed for TOV Furniture so much that I had a smaller version made for YOU! Three styles available in the shop and I’m open 12-6 today, 12-3ish tomorrow (Saturday).

This colorful 100% paper bouquet is making its way to Australia this week!

When you get married the day before Halloween and the vibe is sophisticated spooky, hauntingly beautiful 😍 Congrats to Collette and Parker!
