Are You Ready to Begin?
Custom Designed Wedding Stationery
A novel needs more than a day, a painting takes precision, and heritage wedding stationery requires a careful timeline to shine. At Christa Alexandra Designs we encourage our clients to soak up every moment of their intimate journey with us.
Planning a wedding gifts couples the chance to share their unique truth with their closest entourage. In contrast to shelf-life designs, all our work is tailored to fit your narrative and to beautifully reflect the splendor of your love story – right down to the very last detail.
Christa and her team will be with you every step of the way; from customizing timelines to picking the perfect wording, answering etiquette questions, and enjoying inside expertise from one of the leading boutique providers of heirloom invitations and custom stationery.

THE JOURNEY: Our Process
01
The Beginning of a Beautiful Journey
INITIAL MEETINGS, ESTIMATE & CONTRACT
We live in a marvelously modern world, where conversations can start with a simple email or message. Christa will personally set up a call to hear all about your exciting wedding plans to determine if we are a fitting match for each other.
Christa herself begins each collaboration by inviting each and every select client to a complimentary meeting. Whether in the warmth of Vermont’s Brick Store, in the comfort of your townhouse, in our New York and Boston meeting locations, or even down in the cobblestone streets of Charleston, we make it simple and effortless to meet. Christa will come to you to better understand your vision, showcase her samples, and enjoy an inspired and informal tete a tete.
Afterwards, we are better equipped to send you an estimate, and for the true excitement to start. After putting pen to paper and signing contracts, we cordially ask our clients for a fifty percent deposit so the much anticipated excitement of the design process can begin.
02
All the Time and Space Creativity Needs
DESIGN & UNLIMITED REVISIONS
Our studio turns into a flurry of creativity as our team collectively works with your initial ideas to craft remarkable mockups that fit flawlessly with your theme, color scheme, and your overall dream.
During this process we are always on hand with first-class communication. We are committed to fully-fledged personalization because this time is all about celebrating the grace of two individuals who choose to come together and we want to reflect that in our work.
A stunning collaboration has all the time and space it needs to bloom, here at Christa Alexandra Designs we don’t believe in pinning revisions down. We pledge to work with all our couples for as long as it takes to curate something of pure, unbridled heritage quality. We want our invitations and custom mementos to last for longer than a lifetime; something extraordinary to be proudly handed down for decades.
03
From First Passion to Wedded Bliss
FINAL PROOF, PRODUCTION & ASSEMBLY
Once you have fallen in love with your mockup, we source the finest ingredients for your heirloom pieces to come to life. From the creamy touch of paper to the plume of ink, the finely tuned flourishes, and those artful little accessories, everything is curated ready to be lovingly printed and assembled together on your behalf.
For items that are letterpressed, we use our century old vintage printing press, which is operated by foot instead of electricity. The process is a true labor of love and this handcrafted artisan technique can take days. However, every moment is filled with pride because we want nothing but exquisite craftsmanship and unhurried appreciation to go into each of your designs. We don’t rush the moment, rather we let it form the stationery, impressing a memory of you both into it, the beginning of your legacy together.
When everything has been assembled by our experts, we wrap your bespoke products beautifully and work closely with the delivery team so that when these works of art wing their way to you or your guests, they are perfectly ready for the grand reveal.
We also offer a complimentary mailing service, where we personally mail the invitations or save the dates to your guest’s on your behalf, saving you time and the hassle of bringing them to the post office. You’ll just be able to sit back and enjoy the flurried excitement from your guest’s phone calls and messages.

Preserving the Memories
OUR PARTING GIFT TO OUR CLIENTS
Each of our clients receives a gift intended to transcend time and be the keeper of your memories. From the wedding to the years following, we believe at our very core that a life well lived is full of all kinds of moments. A collection of papers featuring annual holiday cards, photos of summer days on vacation, first day of school portraits, brochures from traveling the world, sweet love notes, and invitations to the best get-togethers. We want to give you the ability to pick each memory up and relive that time for decades to come.
During our time together, we truly want to make each moment richer and more worthwhile for our clients. We feel a great achievement in helping you create a tangible legacy and the chance to turn your life into art. To immortalize your love story on paper, so that you are remembered forever.
We cannot wait to create your stationery, and tell the greatest love story of your time.
