Don't get lost on your guests' fridge
Luxury wedding invitations you can be proud of today — & treasure for years to come
Classic doesn't have to be boring. Formal doesn't have to be stuffy.
Between questions about paper types, color palettes, embellishments, wording and etiquette, and lots of printing methods… it’s no wonder you aren’t totally sure what’d be best for your day. Or what combination will make that “wow” first impression you’re hoping for.
But you know the feeling you want to convey. I’m here to give your guests a sense of cohesion and meaning through thoughtful design details, so the big day just feels like you two.
my promise to you
You'll still love your invitations
as you toast your 50th anniversary
Because the big day is amazing, but your engagement is longer than one day. I want the whole lead-up to be just as enjoyable for you. And “forever and always” is a long time. My design ethos is “timeless first and foremost,” so that you still love your invitations in the decades yet to come in your love story.
As seen in:
your luxury wedding invitations should make people say, "wow, that's so them."
I'm an artist who's as organized as I am creative. I tell your love story — on paper.
My done-for-you, luxury wedding invitations are designed for each and every couple I work with, so you can be rest assured that your stationery will be unique and beautiful. But also, the process along the way will be organized and seamless.
Here's how to make that happen in three simple steps:
booking & welcome
Get your questions answered and receive a proposal. All items are a la carte so you can build your package to suit your budget. A 50% retainer is due to book.
Once you’re part of the LEMD family, you’ll receive a custom timeline, so you know what to expect along the way.
design process
I create a custom design, just for you! Your digital first draft proof includes a composite mockup of all elements together. You’ll also see every item on its own. I’ll incorporate revisions, you approve the final proof, and we move into production with high quality print vendors.
cohesion on your day
Once we’re closer to the big day, I will reach out about ordering day-of-wedding paper and signage. The design elements will all match your luxury wedding invitations.
This way, all items are cohesive and done with one vendor — no headaches, no hassle!
because you deserve a keepsake you'll treasure
Let's create your dream
luxury wedding invitations
I’d be honored to work with you. I take on a limited number of clients per year, to ensure you get the high quality customer service experience you value.
Hi there, I'm leah! i'm a luxury wedding invitation designer who knows...
Classic doesn't have to be boring.
Formal doesn't have to be stuffy.
With two degrees from Michigan State, a stint as a magazine editor-in-chief, three years as the executive assistant to a venture capital firm’s CEO, and ten years of experience since then taking my clients’ ideas and turning them into works of art… you can be sure I’ve got ink-stained hands. And some fun stories.
But one thing I’ve heard more times than I can count is, “You’re our most organized vendor!”
And trust me, your luxury wedding invitations need to be as organized as they are beautiful, or you will never hear the end of it from your great-aunt Barbara.

Your experience should be just as luxurious as your invitations.
I treat every client as if you’re my only client. It’s of the utmost importance to me that you have a stellar experience. To provide the one-on-one customer service you deserve, I take on a limited number of wedding invitations clients per year.
You matter around here, and you’ll be treated as such.
Before we even formally begin, I’m here to clarify any questions and talk through your options together personally on a consultation call. I want to be a helpful resource to you, as someone truly in your corner at each step of your wedding planning experience.

Frequently Asked Questions
I don’t use any script fonts around here.
I write every script element by hand in calligraphy, just for you, once. It’s then scanned and digitized so all your invitation sets are printed identically, but it’s one-of-a-kind for your special day.
If you’ve opted for envelope calligraphy, I’ll address each one individually, by hand, to every recipient.
Generally, 6-8 weeks for invitations. If you’re in a pinch, please reach out — I’ll do my best to accommodate a rush order or provide a referral.
