We had struggled to find invitations that suited our style and price range. Custom invitation suites in NYC were incredibly costly and the options we found online and in stationary stores didn't really get us incredibly excited. There was alway...s one little thing we wanted to change in their offerings that we couldn't. We were about to give up until we saw an invitation suite on Instagram that Karri had designed.
Karri is extremely warm and friendly to work with, she is a local girl with strong ties to Connecticut wedding community. And she is above all so incredibly talented in calligraphy, watercolors, and painting! She was so gracious with her time and spent a couple hours with us in consultation as she heard our ideas and guided us towards a custom, hand-painted design that is uniquely ours and we absolutely love. Our invitation suite was a painting of the gazebo we would get married in front of, with the flowers of our wedding day. In fact, we gave that design to our florist as inspiration to recreate the painted scene in real life.
She was great in sketching out many different ideas for us and going through whatever amount of revision was necessary to get the invitations exactly to our taste.
For all that effort, Karri's pricing was ultimately only a small step above the quotes we were getting at shops like Minted and Paper Source. We absolutely love our invitation suite and so did our guests. The experience of working with Karri definitely holds a special memory and her suite will be forever cherished.
Her style may not be for everyone, it was perfect for us. Her instagram has some examples of all the amazing work she has produced. @karri.lee.designs
