We recently had the pleasure of working with Darling + Pearl Letterpress for our wedding stationary. Darling + Pearl showcased a remarkable level of creativity and attention to det...
ail in their designs. I was not committed to a vision when I initially spoke with Lauren, but she was able to direct me after I gave her a couple ideas. The quality of the stationary exceeded our expectations. We received numerous compliments from our guests on the elegance of the invitation. It truly set the tone for our event. Lauren was responsive to my questions and was able to work with my last-minute additions. Her professionalism and commitment to my satisfaction was clear in every step. A standout feature is her range of customization options, which allowed us to tailor the stationary to fit our vision. She produced, save the dates, invitations with all enclosures, favor cards and thank you cards. All the stationary works beautifully together. Our overall experience with Darling + Pearl was outstanding. Lauren saw my excitement for paper, and she produced exquisite stationary. Thank you for contributing to our special day from beginning to end.

I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for one of a kind and special invitations.

e is brilliant in her craft. Giving her basic guidelines just gives you endless possibilities. Her inspiration comes from photos outside of stationary. I can appreciate how she pays attention to ALL wedding details and really wants to involve all elements into her work. When we received our invitations, I didn't want to get them away; they were just that beautiful. I will treasure her artwork forever!

, and other day-of stationery that she provided. Lauren is so great to work with. She was very accommodating of both our style and budget. Also, the Trello account that she sets up for her clients makes communication quick and easy. We had a minor emergency with a misspelling. (Our mistake, not hers.) We were able to contact her that evening and pick up the reprinted stationery within a few days. Overall, the experience was wonderful and Lauren’s work is beautiful. We can’t recommend Darling and Pearl highly enough.

ped pieces that set the perfect tone for our special day. A key focal point of cocktail hour was a beautiful seating chart she created and mounted on a rustic piece of wood. She provided all assets on time and packaged all the pieces to ship and be delivered without an issue. Her pricing is fair and she worked to make everything work within our budget. Lauren helped make this planning process more efficient, enjoyable and happy! I recommend Lauren and her creativity, diligence and kindness to any bride.

on suite for us, as well as screen-printed wooden table numbers (with our dinner menu on the opposite side) and ceremony booklets for our guests. Many of our friends now go to Lauren for their own invitations, announcements and wooden signs. She will create exactly what you want, even if you don't know what that is yet! Our wedding in October 2011 was the most incredible day, and Lauren helped bring that to life. Four years later, we can’t wait for her to design our first baby’s birth announcement too!

design and is amazing at creating out-of-the-ordinary color combinations, font mixes and layout options. She works well with taking your ideas and turning them into something even better (than you could have imagined).

We continue to work with Lauren for business cards, party invitations and anything else we can think of having created. I would recommend Darling + Pearl to anyone!
