I am thrilled to share my experience working with Holly, who crafted the most amazing wedding invitations and stationery for our special day. From the moment we reached out to her, it was clear that we were in the hands of a true professional.
Her communication skills are truly exceptional. Holly took the time to listen to our ideas and vision, making us feel valued and understood throughout the entire process. She was always prompt in her responses and went above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable and happy with each stage of the design.
What truly stood out was her incredible attention to detail. Every element of the design was meticulously thought out, from the choice of colors to the typography. She has an innate ability to combine aesthetics with functionality, creating invitations that were not only beautiful but also informative.
She took our vague ideas and transformed them into stunning visuals that perfectly represented our theme and personality as a couple. I’d love to work with her again for another event!
It was so special for us to have a really beautiful, uniquely one of a kind invitation suite for our wedding that completely fit the vibe! Holly was so fun and creative to work with. She hit the brief perfectly :)
We worked with Holly for our wedding invitations and day-of pieces. She is so talented! We wanted a colorful, funky, slightly retro vibe, and she absolutely nailed it! Honestly, we didn’t need to make a single edit to her proposed designs—she got it right on the first proof.
Holly’s communication was fantastic; she kept us updated throughout the process and we never had to stress. The quality and craftsmanship of her work are truly evident, and all the pieces were incredibly beautiful. We received so many compliments!
We also really appreciated how easy the whole process was. The online proposal and proof review system was seamless and organized. Holly is kind, creative, thorough, and prompt. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience!
Holly was fantastic! Although we never met in person, she made the experience smooth and seamless. The invitations she created are stunning and timeless! I can’t recommend her enough to help make someone’s vision come to fruition.
We had the most amazing time working with Holly, who produced our gorgeous invitation suite and day-of goods. Her organization and punctuality made the design process seamless and ensured all our paper goods were delivered on time, in perfect condition. The quality was better than I could've imagined - from our semi-custom invitations to a stunning seating chart printed on fabric to special custom menus with calligraphy...every detail was created so thoughtfully. Cannot recommend Sablewood Paper Company enough!
Sablewood Paper is a fabulous company and the invitations and paper goods that they create are simply gorgeous! Holly is both highly organized and patient, and her ability to listen to what you want and create it makes this part of wedding planning so easy. The quality of the paper and the beautiful design is outstanding, and we got so many compliments on the invitations, escort cards, menus, and more.
We used Sablewood Paper Company to design and produce our wedding invitations and all the other paper goods for our wedding ceremony and reception -- dinner menu, table numbers, bar signage, etc. Everything was incredible -- we received countless comments from our friends and family about how much they liked our wedding invites. They were fully bespoke and really represented the vibe of our wedding and our own personalities. We had gone into the design process with a very vague vision, but Holly really helped us crystallize it into something incredible. I would recommend Sablewood Paper Company to anyone who is looking to have something truly unique and iconic created for their own special occasion.
We didn't have a clear idea of what we wanted, but Holly helped us arrive at a stunning set of invitations and paper goods for our wedding. From the Rainier topographic map envelope liner to the amazing portraits of our two cattle dogs, Holly really can do it all! Logistically, she is thorough and transparent in her communication and timely with her work. We can't wait to frame her pieces to keep in our home. Thank you so much for a wonderful experience!
Took our vision and made it real!
Holly is such a gem! Whether you have a vision going into the design process or not, Holly will meet you where you are at and bring your ideas to life. She is thorough, prompt, and makes the process as streamlined and organized as possible. Truly a dream vendor! My fiancé and I cannot recommend her enough!
Holly was so amazing to work with! She immediately understood our style and our vision, and she was instrumental in helping us transition thoughts and ideas into a perfect invitation suite and more.
Her online system for design review was easy to use and she was always willing to receive feedback on proofs (though we rarely had any). She was very responsive, creative, and organized. I will certainly be brainstorming ways to hire Holly in the future.
If I could give Holly more stars I would. I seriously can’t recommend her enough! For someone who is not artistic and had no idea how to articulate my vision, Holly really made it come to life.
Holly really is a genius when it comes to her work. From the invitations to the day of goods, everything had an amazing, cohesive design that really made it feel special to us. In addition to her skills, she’s also incredible to work with. She was super responsive and very helpful in helping decide what she thought would make the most sense. Being a COVID bride, she definitely took some of the stress off my shoulders and helped make our dream wedding a reality. Thank you Holly!
I have worked with Holly a number of different times for invitations and all our day-of paper goods from 2019-2021 for our wedding, which was postponed twice. After we had sent out our full invitation suite, we had to make the difficult decision to move our wedding out a year due to the pandemic. Holly supported us by sending out postponement announcements and was so incredibly kind by adding in extra design support at no extra cost. She surprised us by adding the same unique design she came up with for our invitation suite for our postponement announcements. Fast forward to our wedding day, Holly worked on all our day-of paper goods and they could not have turned out better. Holly's package includes 2 sets of proofs for approval and she gave us so many different options that really played to our theme and then some. It was so difficult to just pick one design for everything. On a couple items, I wasn't really sure how it would turn out, but given Holly's past work, we gave full trust. When we received the goods in person, they were better than I could've ever imagined. Even with all the supply chain issues and shortages, she had warned us that some colors may not be available, but we did not even notice and ended up with all colors that looked so great for our wedding. I believe Holly also prints and makes everything herself so the turnaround time for getting all the goods to us was incredibly fast after we had approved the final proofs. Finally, Holly is just such a creative, kind, and great person. Everything was perfect and she works so hard for her clients. We feel incredibly lucky that she was part of our vendor team. I highly recommend her to anyone for any paper goods needs!
I can't recommend working with Holly enough. She designed beautiful wedding invitations and day-of pieces that were so specific and special to us and our venue location. Between the fun colors and custom illustrations, she went above and beyond anything we could have expected. Holly is extremely thoughtful and professional, kind, patient, creative, and talented! Thank you Holly!
Holly was so incredible to work with! She brought our vision to life and created the perfect invitation suite for our mountain wedding. Holly's creativity was exactly what we needed to tie everything together on our wedding day. She was prompt, responsive, and an absolute joy to work with from start to finish. I would highly recommend hiring Sablewood for your event!
I highly recommend Sablewood Paper Company for all your custom wedding goods, calligraphy services, gifts, and more! Holly is an incredibly talented artist and everything she creates is truly beautiful and meaningful. She puts so much effort, time, and thought into each wedding, every piece she sells, and every conversation she has. You can truly see and feel how much she cares about creating one of a kind pieces for a client’s most important moments. Holly takes time to listen to her clients and really makes them feel heard and excited about working with her.
She is kind, thoughtful, super knowledgeable, professional, and creates amazing work...the list goes on and on! I recommend her to all my friends, family, and wedding clients!
Working with Holly was such a JOY! She gave so much creative freedom over what I wanted my invitation suite to look like, and she did an amazing job of bringing my visions to life. Not only is her work incredibly beautiful, but it was truly HER and the unique care she showed for us as her clients that stood out as so exceptional. From the moment we started working with her, she was so kind, clear at communicating, and both quick and thorough with her responses to my many questions and requests. I am someone who likes everything done "just right," but it became evident early on that Holly was going to do that and I didn't need to worry about a thing. Unfortunately, the COVID-19 Pandemic brought on months of uncertainty about our wedding day, and it ultimately forced my husband and I to postpone our reception. With all of the stress and disappointment, I cannot say enough about how helpful and calming it was to have Holly's support and flexibility throughout the whole thing. She was constantly making herself available to us to discuss different options for our invitations/postponement announcements and asking how she could help. Everything additional we needed made to announce our change of plans, Holly produced at-cost and worked with her printers to save us as much money as possible. Knowing that her business was also being negatively affected by the pandemic, we were so impressed by her integrity, concern for us, and the fact that she wasn't trying to take advantage of our situation. One of the bright spots of having our reception postponed is that we will get to work with Holly again when we re-do our invitations next year. Everything she makes is stunning, but beyond that, she treats the people she works with like they are close friends or family. I cannot say enough great things about her! You will not regret hiring Holly and Sablewood to make whatever paper goods you need :)
Sablewood Paper Company is absolutely amazing! When I met with Holly I knew she was the perfect blend of professional, creative, and fun to get the job done. I would highly recommend Holly to any bride. She was able to take my vision I described and turn it into the most beautiful suite ever (we got so many compliments from friends and family).
Holly was also easy to communicate with. I was able to do most of our correspondence through email and phone, but had the chance to sit down with her for a consultation and bring her some vintage stamps we wanted on our invites.
Holly makes your work easy (providing addresses) by sending you clear instructions and pre-made fill-in e-documents to put in your contacts. Holly was also great to work with during the COIVD-19 craziness!
Holly is excellent. Creative, kind, and a great listener- she will be able to bring your vision to life!
Holly was absolutely amazing to work with for our invitation suite for our wedding. While we had a general idea for our design/vibe for our wedding, we didn't really have a great idea of how we wanted the actual invitation suite to look. Holly was extremely patient during this process and was able to suggest amazing/creative ideas and color combinations that really brought our vision to life. After our consultation, she put together a proof of the design immediately after (so fast and it was perfect!) and has been extremely communicative through the entire process of ordering the items, putting them together, and sending them to our guests. For an extremely indecisive bride with a lot of questions, Holly was more than I could ever ask for. In addition to the ease of the entire process, our final invitation suite was beyond anything I could have ever hoped for and we are so excited for our guests to be receiving these (especially during these uncertain times). We'll be working with her for our day-of paper goods next and are so excited to see her work her magic for these pieces, as well!
I contacted Holly with little time to spare to ask if she had availability to do the calligraphy on my wedding invitations. She was accommodating, professional, and such a pleasure to work with throughout the entire process. She offered insight and advice on everything from stamp purchasing to address etiquette. And, her work was beautiful. Highly recommend for any wedding project needs!
Holly is SUCH a pleasure to work with! I asked her to do a pretty ambitious project on a short timeline and she was amazing. Highly recommend!
Holly came highly recommended by my wedding planner and I couldn't be happier to have her work on the stationery for our wedding.
She is very friendly, responsive, organized and professional, and most importantly, talented!
Holly was enthusiast throughout the process, took critiques with a positive spin, proposed several design options, and delivered beautiful pieces that exceeded our original expectations.
I was extremely excited when I received the pieces, which also received praise from our guests. I will be very proud to highlight them in our home.
I am so happy with her work that I will be working further with her to design our Thank You cards and type our vows for them to be framed.
Holly was an absolute joy to work with for our day-of wedding pieces! The design process was surprisingly fun, and I thoroughly enjoyed chatting with her about how to best bring my vision to life. The pieces she created were beautiful and so many of our guests ended up photographing them -- almost as much as they did me in my dress (haha). We did our own thing for save the dates and invitations and I'm kicking myself for not finding Sablewood earlier, since I have no doubt the process and end results would have been significantly better.
Holly was such a pleasure to work with and is helping to make my vision come to life - starting with my invitation envelopes. She's been prompt, incredibly helpful, offering multiple options and most importantly - oh so talented. I'm so lucky I found her and can't wait to do more work with her in the future. 12/10 would recommend Sablewood and Holly for anyone!
Holly is one of my favorite stationers and calligraphers to work with! She has done guestbooks, vow books, signage, and other pieces for my couples and her designs are always high quality and unique. Holly cares about her clients and has a wonderful attention to detail. I will definitely continue to use her services in the future!
Holly is absolutely amazing! She created beautiful signage for an engagement party that I hosted recently and was so wonderful to work with. She is super communicative, collaborative, professional and incredibly talented. She is also so kind and very accommodating to her clients. She offers several styles of lettering and paper goods - she can do it all! I could not recommend her more! Thank you Holly!!!
Sablewood Paper Company is brilliant. Holly is such a professional. I worked with Holly for over a year on my escort cards, with samples and TONS of emails, she handled everything so immaculately. Holly is the sweetest person and so easy to work with. And the best part is the quality of her work is impeccable. The escort cards were the hit of my wedding. Everyone gushed over them and some other soon to be brides were dying to know where to get them! Holly is such a hard-working woman and her dedication is inspiring. I LOVE these escort cards!! Holly also did my wedding programs and they were absolutely fabulous. I had a bilingual mass and she made the layout easy for my guests to follow. The quality was again AMAZING! She made this whole process easy and I am sad I won’t be working with her anymore! Such a warm, lovely person and those are the best to work with. Thanks Holly for your incredible talent and making my wedding so special!
Holly is absolutely fantastic. From initial meeting, understanding our aesthetic and where we wanted to go, proofs, and final quality of print and calligraphy, everything was amazing. She kept us on track with our timeline and was super easy to work with.
As a wedding planner, I value my relationships with other industry vendors because I only want to point my couples toward those that I trust and know will do a good job. Holly is definitely one of those people. Not only is she super fast and courteous when I ask for proposals for my clients but her work is so gorgeous. Her illustrations and calligraphy blow me away! I love suggesting that couples check out her work and love it even more if they choose her! You can’t go wrong with Sablewood Paper Company.
Holly is absolutely amazing, she created stationery pieces far better than what I imagined but still so true to the bride and groom's personality and story. I'm sure they will be treasuring their heirloom invitation suite and day of pieces for years to come.
Holly is amazing! She did an overnight rush order for our wedding day and literally saved me!! Her work is truly elegant and full of love ❤️
Where do I even start about how great Holly is? She really cares about her craft and her client and it shows in her product. Holly has worked with me on two shoots so far and her flexibility, attention to detail, and care for the finished product were why I loved working with her. She even came on the day of one of our shoots so she could help with styling and I so appreciate her desire to be active and involved like I know she is with every client she works with. Hire Holly if you want someone who cares!
Holly is absolutely amazing!! From the moment I first inquired with her about some pieces for our wedding, she was super responsive and quick to offer advice and options. She made some beautiful vow books for us, as well as a guest book that we absolutely love, and a large wooden sign that we are looking forward to hanging in our house one day. Her attention to detail is unmatched and you can tell she takes pride in her work. Highly recommend her! Thank you again Holly!
Holly is an incredible talent and just a lovely person to work with. Her pieces are of the highest quality and her attention to detail is second to none. We've worked together a few times now and I'll always blown away by the originality and her beauty of her work. In a pretty saturated market she always has a new take on an idea and experiments with all kinds of different materials and textures to ensure each client gets something unique. I can't recommend her highly enough.
Holly is amazing! I started working with her on vintage stamps and wax seals about six months before I actually sent my invitations. She nailed my stamp story and I couldn't be more thrilled! In addition, she created the most beautiful wax seal to close our invitations and they are pure perfection. Working with Holly was honestly one of my favorite wedding planning moments!
A wonderful and thoughtful experience. It is overwhelming to try and find the right designer and design for wedding invites/programs/menus within a challenging time frame. Sablewood was super creative, professional, responsive and on the ball. It was a wonderful experience. Thank you Holly!
I cannot say enough good things about working with Holly! Just like many other brides, I found myself on Etsy searching for the perfect partner to help me with some of the stationary and signage for my wedding. Every time I searched I found myself coming back to her page. I did not even know what I was looking for, but she had it. Her style is beautiful and elegant and I knew that I had to have her work as part of my wedding.
I emailed Holly and she was quick to respond and very excited to hear all about my plans for the big day. Since our first conversation I knew that she had the attention to detail and expertise I was looking for. She helped me through every part of the process in deciding what signs I wanted, what materials we should use, what colors I wanted, down to the type of ribbon we would use. After we discussed my initial ideas she got to work and executed perfectly on the first try. She also allowed for a review and opportunities to make changes, although they were not really needed.
I thought I had an idea of what everything would look like after seeing it digitally a few times, but when I opened the box with the final pieces, I was blown away – these items exceeded my wildest expectations. She carefully packed everything and it arrived in perfect condition. The colors were exactly as we discussed, and the materials were beautiful. I had Holly make programs for our ceremony, our welcome letter for hotel guest bags, seating cards, place card seating sign, our reception welcome sign, guest book sign, cards + gift sign, sweetheart table sign, ‘dancing shoes’ sign, and our cake topper. It all came together beautifully!
Everything that Holly created played a beautiful role in helping to set the tone for our wedding. From the welcome letter being the first thing everyone saw to the ‘dancing shoes’ sign on our basket of flip flops that everyone noticed as they were dancing the night away, it was perfect. Working with Holly started by chance and now I look forward to working with her for years to come!
