Larkspur & Lore

From the first "yes" to the last dance, your wedding stationery should feel like the opening chapter of your story. At Larkspur & Lore, every suite is woven from the details that make your day unmistakably yours — a beloved pet trotting across a save-the-date, your venue rendered in soft watercolor, a custom crest that carries your new name into the world, the little places that hold your history together. Nothing is templated. Nothing is generic. Each piece is painted, lettered, and designed by hand, just for you. How this all began: I never set out to start a stationery business — I fell into it out of love. My future sister-in-law was hunting for wedding invitations and couldn't find anything that felt like her. So I offered to draw something up myself. That one favor turned into a whole world I couldn't stop building, and Larkspur & Lore was born. My style is whimsical, painterly, and lively — grounded in realism, with just enough playful liberty taken to soften things and let the joy come through. Think watercolor that feels alive rather than stiff, illustration with a little movement in it, never anything childish. That's how I work today too: I start with you — your love story, your people, the places that matter — and paint from there. Planning a wedding is overwhelming enough; working with me should feel like the easiest, most joyful part of it. You'll never get a cookie-cutter template with your names swapped in. You'll get something that looks like it could only ever belong to your wedding. A few things couples often ask about: Packages & pricing: Custom suites start at $3,500 for invitations only and up to $6,500 for the full experience—save-the-dates, invitations, and day-of details. Extras can always be added on to fit what you need. Customization: Every package includes fully custom, hand-painted illustration — your venue, your colors, your story — designed specifically for your wedding from the ground up. Where I work: All design work is done remotely, so wherever you're planning from, we can work together. Timeline: Custom invitation suites take about 8 weeks from start to finish. Save-the-dates and day-of detail packages each take about 4 weeks. Everyone is welcome here. Whatever your love story looks like, however your day will unfold — I'd be honored to help tell it in ink and watercolor.
