Christa Alexandra Designs has been working closely with couples during defining moments of their life since 2009 — capturing who they are with heritage pieces to be passed down.

Meet Christa

OWNER • DESIGNER • PRINTER

Romanced by the renaissance-era of her mother’s German hometown, the Marie-Antoinette gardens of France, the rising crescendo of Italian midnight opera, and the dusty roads and sparkling seas of Spanish siesta, Christa fell in love with language, lineage and beautiful things during her summers abroad. She wanted to help others preserve the splendor of memories.

Inspired by the symmetry of old homes, the romance of vintage wallpapered rooms, and the gilded edges of antique books - Christa lends that eye for rarity to her work, helping clients to design the story of their wedding, to be shared with those they love the most.

Even a simple invitation has a great story to tell; it preserves your family names and marks a date forever. At Christa Alexandra Designs we go beyond those details, creating a cohesive look that marries the stationery and accompanying pieces to your very own beautiful brand. These are keepsake pieces designed to stand the test of time and echo the remarkable relationship it represents.

A Passion for
Perfect Craftsmanship

"True luxury comes from a blend of passion, prestige and perfection"

Pursuing a background in graphic design, Christa immersed herself in letterpress printing a decade ago. Disenchanted by the industry cutting corners, she invested in her very own vintage cast iron letterpress. Through the love and labor of letterpress printing she discovered that deep-set belief; that true luxury comes from a blend of passion, prestige and perfection. To us, paper holds so much more than simple written words. It holds memories and meaning, delight and decadence, visions and stories. From law to folklore, freedom to finery, history and heritage – paper is a medium through which we can live forever. 

A natural affinity for the weight of paper, an adoration of antiquity and art, a belief that delight is in the details, and a pure unbound passion for printing. All these touchstones have made Christa Alexandra one of the leading boutique brands in custom design and luxury heirloom wedding invitations. Like the artisans of old, every inch of our stationery is handprinted and carefully assembled, turning each piece of paper into a handheld work of art. A heritage piece to be passed down.

Serving Both

Town and Country

Accepting only a small number of very special clients, Christa Alexandra Designs is coveted countrywide. Based in the green mountains of Vermont, the iconic skylines of New York and the harbors of Boston, we blend the best of all worlds.

The team chose to set up shop in an 1830’s antique general store that Christa purchased and is restoring – a place where memories rustle behind the red brick walls. The Brick Store can be found in Vermont; a destination of sweet summers and slumbering winters beside the fire. A place where small stunning moments are treasured; a snort of aged oak whiskey, a walk in the wildflowers, and the serenity of milky starlit nights.

While the bricks and mortar may be in Vermont, most of Christa’s clients are based in New York and Boston and she schedules meetings in the city at their request. Christa adores the change of pace; the rhythm of crowded restaurants, the crack of champagne, and the lilt of different languages all beneath the glittering lights.

Testimonials

I looked through books and books of invitations and met with different invitation designers in NYC. No one could help me find something that seemed to fit the wedding weekend we were planning. Christa knew all the right questions to ask and very quickly after that conversation she presented me with these stunning invitations. Working with Christa has really been a dream and she is so easy to communicate with.

Laura G. from NYC / Bride

One of the best things about planning a wedding is meeting wonderful people who make the experience such a pleasure that you don’t want it to end. Christa’s beautiful sense of design and style and her flawless execution are second to none! Christa made so many helpful suggestions along the way, even down to the selection of postage! I highly recommend Christa to anyone who is looking to make a beautiful memory!

Robin P. from Wyckoff, NJ / Mother of the Bride

We went to Boston, Chicago, San Francisco & Washington D.C., thinking only big cities would have what we were looking for. Our Daughter and son-in-law met with her after our phone conversation, they were so impressed with the work of her creative mind, talented hands and extraordinary vision. She helped choose the perfect calligraphy font, ink color and stamps and YES, our guests noticed each and every detail.

Mimi W. from Lyme, NH / Mother of the Bride

Christa is absolutely wonderful to work with and she is very talented. I had looked at local shops and online for my wedding invitations and had a really hard time finding something that pulled my ideas together. After a phone conversation with Christa, I had a number of mock-ups for invitations. I got so many comments on Christa’s work – even my calligrapher who said “it was the most beautiful invitation suite” she had seen!
