If you want a truly WOW factor, go to El for your invitations! She is extremely detail orientated and really listens to your wants and needs. I have so many praise for El. She uses quality paper and you will never be given any poducts that feel... thin and cheap! She is extremely creative and will customized anything that your heart desires! For my wedding, El took my ideas & seriously blew me away with Her creations. I am not kidding when I say that we heard back from almost every single guest ( almos all 330!) when they received their invitation in the mail! They were so amazed by our one of a kind truly unique invitations that even the males were giving praise to us on our ivitations! Many people said they were so excited for our wedding because the invitations were so amazing that they couldn't wait see what our wedding would be like. Our invitations were classy but fun and truly showed our personalities. El made sure we were happy with every detail before she did our final one. We had El do all of our paper work for our wedding! She impressed everyone. Besides her beautiful invitations, El offers some really unique things that I've never seen at weddings & let's just say I'm 27 dresses, so I've been to my fair share of weddings! Our first thing we did that stood out was El painted our beautiful lakeside venue on the outside envelope. She has many different options that you can choose form, but we absolutely loved our guest getting a preview of what's to come. The 2nd really unique item was instead of directions, El made us a map of the area we were getting married & added every little spot that was special to use. This helped everyone learn a little bit about us and many guest wanted to frame it, which I found hysterical! El put our map on rice paper which is a thin smooth paper that made it look like an old fashion treasure map. It was so cool! Also, our reply cards evelopes had a cute bride & groom in a " just married" car driving away and so many people loved them, that they called after they sent their reply to see if they could have it back! Haha. Lots of my guest loved our invitations so much, they are keeping them! Another creative item that El makes is she'll paint your seating chart! Whatever your theme is or your table name theme is, she'll paint you a chart that you can frame after your wedding and have a great momento from your wedding day, a beautiful piece of art & all the names of everyone who was there with you that day. People are truly impressed by this! Our tables were named by all of our favorite places & things so we have an amazing painting of everything that's special to us! Also El's calligraphy is absolutely beautiful! Not only is El amazing at what she does, but she's very personable and kind person. She has been in business for over 20 years and gave me great advice and direction on what was appropriate & what would look really nice. She is very reasonable and will guide you and help you stay within your budget. My husband & I are so impressed with El's work and creativity that we plan on using her for every event, party & celebration from here on out! Also El made gifts for my bridesmaids that were personalized to each one of them. It brought tears to their eyes! From her save the dates, invitations, our map, envelopes, seating chart, gifts for our bridesmaids, and all of our thank you notes, I couldn't say more great things about El & her work. You NEED to check her out!
