Simply Torn Art & Design

WOW! I can't even put into words how fabulous it was to work with Christa. She did the invitations and day-of stationary for my November 2023 wedding and I couldn't have been happier. Her process is so streamlined, I got to see so many examples of her work, and we had a lot of fun together! She went through every different paper/print/design option to make sure we were on the same page for pricing, design, and over-all style. The invitations were absolutely gorgeous and exactly what I wanted, even including beautiful artwork of the church. She worked within my budget, and I received countless compliments from our guests about them. Before I met with her, I was feeling very overwhelmed, but she made the entire process an absolute breeze and took away all of my stress. Highly, highly recommend working with Christa to make your invitation dreams come to life!

Simply Torn Art & Design did a fantastic job for us. We had them design and create all of our wedding paper needs from the invitation suite to hospitality bag inserts and day of items like the wedding program, escort cards and more. It was so easy to work with Christa and she brought great ideas and enthusiasm to our project. We would work with her over and over again!

Christa was one of our favorite vendors to work with. She is so creative and produces such a high quality product. She was able to take our ideas and translate them into a BEAUTIFUL invitation suite and day of paper goods. We had so many complements on her work and they were well deserved! Her attention to detail and knowledge of wedding stationary etiquette is very helpful during the planning process. She is also just the sweetest person! 10/10 highly recommend!

Christa was truly the most wonderful vendor we worked with for our May 2023 wedding! She did our save-the-dates, our wedding invitations, our day-of paper goods and now is doing our thank you cards. She goes above and beyond with the couples she works with and makes you feel as though this part of the wedding planning process is not something you need to stress about because she has it covered! Christa personalizes everything to fit not only the style of your wedding, but also the personality of the couple. We wanted classic and simplicity and what we received was beyond expectations! So many guests commented on just how beautiful our invitations were (definitely don't pass up on the wax seals!) and it really set the tone for our wedding day. Wedding planning is stressful enough and the best advice I have is to hire the right vendors and Christa was the best choice 😊.

Christa from Simply Torn was amazing to work with. She is a great communicator, executed our vision perfectly, and was always on time with our items. I'm happy to recommend her to anyone looking for personalized invites/thank you cards/programs for their event.

Christa was so amazing to work with! I went into our appt having no idea what I wanted as far as wedding invitations and she had so many examples to choose from, but knew just the questions to ask to narrow it down for me so it wasn't overwhelming. I received so many compliments on how gorgeous they were from a lot of my guests and the turnaround time was so fast. She was always available to answer any questions I had and was the nicest person! I would use Christa over and over again!

These guys are perfect in obtaining the EXACT look and style you want. Everything can be customized down to the paper thickness and trim on the paper's outer edge. They've got the perfect studio to set up displays that can help give inspiration. The professional guidance can help give some support overall if you get overwhelmedat the process (trust me- it is choosing more than just paper colors and fonts). They are extremely detailed and patient with the mockups and changing it until YOU give the go ahead to finalize and send to print which was lovely and a big win for me to really show the vision before running with it. Besides the save the date and the actual invitations/event details outline/rsvp cards, they also did signage for the event like welcome signs, the monogram for the dance floor, menu cards personalized for each guest, and fun Signature drink signage.

I cannot overstate how amazing Christa was to work with!! She is so gifted at what she does and you can tell how much she cares about the details that will make the stationery come together. An added bonus is that Christa herself is such a joy to work with. I had no idea how much I would enjoy designing our wedding stationery and I completely credit that to Christa! Highly recommend going with her for your paper goods!! You will be so glad you did!!

Simply Torn is simply THE best! Christa helped with all of our wedding stationary beginning with our Save the Dates and down to the last stationary details for our wedding day. She is quick to respond, extremely helpful with creating a custom vision and always punctual (usually even ahead of her own timeline)! She was one of our absolute favorite vendors and made the stationary planning so much fun. We will continue to work with Christa for all of our future stationary needs!

I loved working with Christa from Simply Torn Art & Design! My invites, programs and place cards all turned out amazing!! They are so sweet and nice to work with! I can't say anything good things about them! 100% recommend :)

Christa was absolutely amazing through this whole process! She has so many options to choose from and will help put together your perfect stationary. She did my invitations and they turned out perfect!! The wax seal was the touch it truly needed and she delivered. It was a little expensive but you get what you pay for 😊 she offered almost any idea I had for a sign and could execute it. Would recommend her a thousand times. Thanks Christa!!

Simply put, Simply Torn is simply the best! We have been sitting on this review because we have had a hard time expressing in words just how amazing Christa at Simply Torn has been to work with. From the initial meeting, she made us feel comfortable and we immediately entrusted her with the entirety of our invitation suite, day ofs, miscellaneous signage, thank you cards, and out-of-the-box ‘guest book’. Christa has an AMAZING balance of creative genius while listening to what her clients want, and that talent comes together to make something truly magical. We continue to receive compliments from our guests on how wonderful her work is, and we will forever be grateful to Christa as she had a large part in making our wedding everything we could have ever hoped for and more. - Keith F & Derrick S

Christa brought our vision to life perfectly!! She went above and beyond to work with a local artist & customize our wedding invitations for us- AND she made the entire process so enjoyable! She is creative, kind, and incredibly professional. She exceeded our expectations and we would certainly recommend her to any family or friends!

Christa with simply torn was such a joy to work with. Initially I thought that I wanted a completely Different design then we ended up with. Even after creating a beautiful initial mock up of an invitation, she had no hesitation when I told her that I had kind of decided to go for Something very different! She was so kind, patient, creative, and helpful! She had different samples and examples of every aspect of the invitation. I have received so many compliments on how beautiful our invitations were since the wedding. Thank you Christa!

Look no further for all your wedding paper needs! In a world of internet invites, there is something so special about receiving a beautiful paper invitation, and Christa is the one for the job. Her attention to detail is unsurpassed—she picks up on the minor details or changes that can often be overlooked. Christa took the extra time to cross-reference the addresses of my guests before sending them to print. I’m so grateful that she took that extra step because I did not give my addresses a second look before I sent them over. You can tell Christa loves what she does and will create beautiful paper goods! I am so lucky to have found Christa and will recommend her to all future brides!

Christa was the kindest, easiest, sweetest person during the wedding process! I am so glad that I chose to use her for our wedding stationary! She responded back so quickly and was so kind to help with whatever we needed!!The stationary was beautiful, personalized and more than I ever expected. Highly, highly, highly recommend using Christa for all your stationary needs!!!

Christa came highly recommended by my sister and brother-in-law and she exceeded our expectations! Christa was so patient and detail oriented as she helped us to create our dream wedding stationary. I had a very specific vision but had a difficult time articulating it and Christa was able to read my mind! I will cherish our wedding stationary for years to come.

I cannot speak highly enough of Christa. Her work is incredible, detail-oriented, and so timely. She communicates well with those she works with about every piece of the process and truly makes you feel like your vision can come to life- no matter what it is. Christa crafted a custom sketch of our venue for us to use on our stationary that was so beautiful, the owner of the venue itself asked us for her information! When I initially met with her, she was so respectful of any of our budgetary restrictions and concerns and worked with us so that we could have something that was beautiful and affordable. We highly recommend Christa to any couple that wants their wedding stationary to be personal, beautiful, and timeless.

Christa is the BEST! She is very professional but also very sweet and you can tell she really cares … She helped me execute my vision for a more alternative save the date and invitation. Her attention to detail and style are impeccable. I would use her for any event in the future. Thank you Christa!!

Christa did our “day of” stationary for our wedding and we were thrilled with how everything turned out. The welcome sign, ceremony programs, menus, and other various signs we requested were all so beautiful and was just the extra touch we needed! I would recommend Simply Torn Art to anyone who is in need of stationary for their special event!

I had the best experience with Christa at Simply Torn! She was so helpful and patient with me as I made my selections and determined the look and feel I wanted. Super responsive, great ideas and a pleasure to work with.

The most enjoyable part of the wedding planning process! Christa was lovely to work with - always enthusiastic, competent and quick with providing updates and timing. She brought great ideas to the table and was able to incorporate such lovely personal touches to our entire invitations suite, and at such a reasonable cost. I even worked with her to customize some stationery after the wedding and love the result! Can't recommend her highly enough!!

Christa is so great to work with- understood our style, communicates timelines and expectations super clearly, very well-priced, handled an emergency with such grace, and sought to understood what defines us as a couple (snuck a four leaf clover into our invites as a surprise to honor my husband’s Irish heritage). We love Christa and couldn’t recommend Simply Torn more.

Christa was great to work with for our wedding! She is so talented, detail oriented, and hard working. She was quick with responses, and she gave us a detailed timeline of what information we needed by what date. She worked with us to create our dream invitation suite, menus, name cards, programs, hotel gift bag tags, and table numbers. It all matched across the different paper good items, and it was all beautifully designed! Christa is very talented, thank you Christa for all of your help and hard work!

Christa was amazing to work with throughout my entire wedding planning process. When we were trying to decide if we should postpone our wedding due to Covid, she held off on printing our invitations as long as she could. When we ultimately made the decision to wait a year, she was so supportive!! She recreated our invitations to reflect our new date, gave us a little gift to display at our wedding, and she did an amazing job creating programs, table numbers, and our seating chart. We highly recommend Christa for all of your wedding stationary needs!

Working with Christa at Simply Torn Art and Design was amazing! We sent out our gorgeous wedding invitations a couple weeks before Covid hit and we ended up postponing our wedding. She was so supportive and understanding. She helped us come up with a virtual design to send out via email (to save some money!) to announce our change of plans/save our new date. We had our big wedding a year later. However, due to covid restrictions we had to cut our guest list down. I had no idea how to approach the situation of uninviting people to a wedding. Christa jumped right in and came up with the perfect wording. Not only does Christa make beautiful invitations but she can make amazing uninvitations. Who would have thought that would be a thing! Anyway... If you are looking for a super sweet genuine person to work with, Christa is your girl. She does beautiful work, communicates in a timely manner, and has speedy turnover times for the invitations! Highly recommended!!

Christa was absolutely wonderful to work with and so patient in our decision process. Christa has truly beautiful work and is so thoughtful in her touches on invitation suites. She was very transparent in cost and timelines needed to complete our vision for our invitations and day of signage. We highly recommend her and cannot wait to use her for future needs for invitations or stationary.

Simply Torn Art + Design goes above and beyond for their clients! Christa made the process of ordering all of our wedding stationery so simple and stress-free while absolutely nailing the design and look we were going for. We received so many compliments about our stationery and it really played a huge part is the design for everything else for our wedding. Christa is so sweet, amazing to work with, flexible and provided one of the best experiences we had with any vendor! I highly recommend Simply Torn Art + Design if you want beautiful stationery!

Christa at Simply Torn Art & Design was a life saver! I thought I could design the invitations myself but had no idea how much more complicated it is than that and when I wasn't getting what I dreamed of from another vendor, I reached out to Christa and she was absolutely amazing! I had a quick turnaround that she very easily managed for me and the products turned out absolutely stunning! I got soooo many compliments on my invitations and loved working with Christa so much that I went back to her to help create place cards, ceremony programs, seating chart board, and my photo thank yous. Her attention to detail and superb project management skills made the process easy and so fun! I 100% recommend working with Christa from the start - she is an expert!

If you're contemplating any sort of custom stationery - do not look any further than Christa! She is the best of the best STL has to offer! Christa made all of my wedding invitation dreams come true - especially given I had NO IDEA what I wanted going into the process. But I ended up with the most beautiful invitations I could've ever imagined. She's an artist at heart and a visionary by nature. If you trust her she WILL deliver! Thank you, Christa, for making the entire process so seamless and enjoyable!

Christa was great to work with! We loved being able to sit down with her to design something unique to us. We received so many compliments on how beautiful the invitations and other paper products were that we ordered. Christa did a great job with the designs and working with us on many changes that had to be made during the production process with covid going on. Covid caused us to change several pieces on the invitations, but Christa worked very hard trying to get as close to the original design as possible! We would definitely use Simply Torn again and recommend to other couples!

Simply put, Christa is the best. She designed all of my wedding related paper goods—save the dates, main invites, day of stationary. She is as personable as she is creative! Always responsive to emails, willing to rework different design options until everything is just right. The final product was cohesive, elegant, and most importantly feels like a true reflection of our day! If you are between whether to design your own/online vs go custom—contact Christa, you cannot go wrong! :)

Christa is absolutely amazing!! I met her at a wedding show a couple of years ago and knew from that moment that no matter the cost, I wanted her to make the stationary for my wedding! She has such a positive, professional, genuine and kind attitude. She was very flexible with me as I had to change the date of my wedding. She keep me updated and was very effective in her communication throughout the entire process. When COVID hit, she was very accommodating and was open to making any changes I needed with no hesitation. I loved working with Christa and will ALWAYS use Simply Torn for my stationary needs!!

I can't say enough good things about Christa. I luckily found her through online searching/Instagram, and I'm so glad I did. Despite the difficult circumstances around COVID, Christa was always accommodating and willing to meet virtually. She even gave me her personal address to pick up my save-the-dates when her studio was closed due to local restrictions. I had perused her previous work and had a loose idea of what I was looking for around invitations and signage; however, when we met to discuss, Christa was able to take my disorganized thoughts and form them into something that was beautiful and exactly what I was thinking. She made sure everything - from our save-the-dates to our invitations to our day-of signage - was cohesive and coordinated. She was so enjoyable to work with, and she does absolutely beautiful work. We received countless compliments on our invitations and signage - one of my in-laws even had our invitation made into a keepsake bracelet, because we loved them so much. Christa went above and beyond, making personalized bags for everything we picked up from her and even gifting us a beautiful sign that coordinated with the rest of our items, which we framed and displayed at the wedding. If you are looking for someone who is professional, personable and extremely talented - call Christa today! You won't regret it. I look forward to working with her for all of my paper needs in the future!

I would prefer to give Christa 10 stars! She was a complete joy to work with both with her creativity and our super tight timelines. We received SO many compliments on our invitations and everything was perfect! We couldn't recommend her more!

Christa was so amazing to work with. She was always flexible, answered all of my questions as soon as she saw them, and was able to take the many ideas we threw at her and create the most beautiful wedding invitations. We didn't ever have to redesign anything because she designed such an amazing invitation from the get go! She provided us with the appropriate timeline, and was so flexible even during the covid-19 pandemic. I cannot think of a better person to trust with custom invitations/any other type of stationary!

Where do I begin!? Christa was my favorite vendor to work with throughout my wedding planning process. Her product is beautiful. Plain and simple. She is extremely responsive and helped us accommodate and meet all of our deadlines even in a crazy Covid environment. Christa not only did our save the dates she did our custom cocktail signs, custom cocktail napkins, a few other odds and ends for the day of, and our entire wedding suite . I had multiple people tell me it was the most beautiful wedding invitation they have ever seen I had multiple people tell me it was the most beautiful wedding invitation they have ever seen. On top of a great product, Christ is just an overall wonderful person she’s very sweet and understanding/ accommodating when you want to tweak the smallest thing. I will be using Christa for other stationary needs in the future!

Christa is amazing! She so easy to work with, made the process so smooth and stress free- and that says a lot being a covid bride! We ended up having to send out invitations twice and I loved that it gave us another opportunity to work with Christa. She was so attentive and helpful during our whole planning process- and helped us keep our guests informed when we had to postpone with a matching digital date change image! Absolutely love Christa and Simply Torn Art & Design

My daughter and I initially decided to go with a local stationery shop for her wedding (save the dates, invitations, etc.). After dealing with a lot of miscommunication, order errors, and more, we quickly realized that we were making a big mistake! Christa of Simply Torn came to our rescue! Despite the pandemic and our inability to meet face to face, Christa understood our vision from the start and guided us through each and every design element and cost concern by giving us options and pricing all along the way. She caught a few typos we made, cross checked our addresses (and found errors) and gave us great advice on the wording of everything. Everything was done perfectly and on schedule. Needless to say, we couldn't have found a better partner. I would strongly recommend Simply Torn, you will not be disappointed! Thanks again Christa!

Christa is so enjoyable to work with and her final products are beautiful. I can’t tell you how many people commented about how gorgeous my wedding invitations were.

Christa was so great to work with and I cannot recommend her more! She did the invitations for my wedding as well as for my sisters which was about a year before mine. She is so personable and easy to work with! During our first meeting she took all of my ideas down and was able to get us a proof very quickly. We went back and forth many times and she was so willing to make any changes we wanted each time and would get a new proof back so quickly. She worked with me on my budget as well, telling me which ideas I liked would be more/less expensive, and even created two different invitation styles I could choose from with two different prices and do whichever worked best for me. We got married during the pandemic, and she was so willing to work with us on our timeline as well, and waiting as long as we could, but still being able to get invites out on time. The final product turned out so amazing and we got many compliments on the invitations. I cannot recommend Christa and simply torn enough!

You need to book Christa for all your invitation needs! We got our save the dates, wedding invitations, and programs done by Christa and they exceeded our expectations. She listens to your vision and makes it come to life. She can even address the envelopes for you! The entire process was very easy and she made sure all of the details were perfect. We got so many compliments from our guests about how beautiful the invitations were. I cannot recommend Christa enough and I wouldn’t go to anyone else. She makes sure every detail is correct, works hard to get the proofs to you quickly, and has many options to choose from. You will not be disappointed when you work with Christa at Simply Torn!

Christa was incredible for the entire process! She is the sweetest most genuine person, and a great vendor who prioritizes her customers! She is truly talented, and her work is incredible! Her product knowledge showed with our first meeting, and there she was able to answer all of our questions from wording, style, and so on. Gave expert advice, and helped lead us in the direction we wanted. She was super patient with us, as we had quite a few difficult international addresses. She helped out, and went above and beyond making sure the addresses were printed in an accurate format (even finding zip codes we missed). She was quick to respond to all of our emails, super organized, and professional. She was able to create invitations that were perfect for our wedding, and had details special to us. She designs unique invites/products for you, making it so special. She went above and beyond throughout the entire process, always helping us in anyway! We have already gotten so many compliments on the international invites we have sent out, and I cannot wait to send the domestic ones. Christa is fantastic!! Use her, it is worth every penny, and she will not disappoint!

Christa was so amazing to work with, she literally saved the day when it came to our wedding Programs and Welcome Bag tags! We had originally gone with a different vendor (bc of a discount they offered) for our wedding invitations and it was an absolute nightmare, they delayed our invitations so much we knew we couldn't use them for anything else. I had met with Christa before and loved her, so I reached out hoping it wasn't too late for her to help. Christa responded to me the same day, within hours in fact, was so kind and understanding...we absolutely should have gone with her the entire time! Not only did she deliver an amazing product with our Programs, she then stepped up to the plate a second time, on short notice, and made us incredible Welcome Bag Tags. I cannot speak highly enough of Christa. Her product is top notch, her customer service is of the highest quality...she really was the hero of our wedding vendors! My honest advise to you is this: Using Simply Torn and working with Christa is worth it, even if the price might be a little higher than a different vendor with a discount. She is awesome to work with, and if I could do it all over again I would have chosen her originally. She's got it all: amazing talent, service and experience. Thank you, Christa, for saving the day for us! You are awesome!

Christa is AMAZING to work with! Her personality is so sweet and genuine. She is very attentive to detail and knows how to make your vision come true! She surprised us with the sweetest thank you when coming to pick up our invitations. Work with her for your wedding! You will not regret it!

Christa was hands down one of the easiest vendors we worked with during our entire wedding planning process. She was ON IT. An absolute professional. I went to a few shops to try and find a simple template to use for our wedding invites, but I just wasn't finding anything that met what I had in mind. I got Christa's name from a co-worker, met with her, had a proof within a couple of weeks... and she nailed it on the first try. No revisions needed! It was so gorgeous and spot on to what I had pictured that I cried. After that, we had her do our place-cards and programs as well... and I was just so impressed with her throughout the entire process. She's truly the best, and you can't go wrong with her!!

We could not have been more thrilled with Christa and her work. She is so talented and created the most beautiful invitation suites and day of stationery for our wedding! She is very attentive, responded to emails promptly, and stuck to the agreed upon timelines. We received so many compliments on all of her work! Added bonus - Christa is as sweet as can be! I will definitely be using Simply Torn for future stationery needs.

My daughter and I had a wonderful experience with Christa at Simply Torn. She’s is very easy to work with ad accommodated our design changes without any issue. Very nice selection of paper options and designs. Everything came in right on time and without any errors. Because she is local, I was able to visit her in her shop. I highly recommend her for both price and quality.

Christa is amazing! She created our wedding invitations, menus, and escort cards. During our consultation she really listened to what we wanted and was attentive throughout the entire process. She was patient and helpful when we had changing numbers for invitations and menus and helped us to brainstorm ideas for our details cards when information changed. We highly recommend Simply Torn!

My husband and I are so glad we chose Simply Torn for our wedding invitations. Not only did Christa make our experience as seamless and stress-free as possible, but she also made it fun! When we sat down at her adorable shop in downtown Webster Groves for our consultation, she took the time to understand our taste, the vision we had for our event, and our budget. Then she helped us put together our suite piece by piece. The final product was tasteful, classy and reflected our personalities and the vibe we wanted to achieve. My husband and I received multiple compliments after we mailed them, and some people said they were the best invitations they'd ever seen. At the end of the process, Christa even sent us a gift as a "thank you" for our business. Our wedding wouldn't have been the same without her amazing work.

We worked with Christa to create our wedding suite and we are SO thankful! Her work is beautiful, high-quality, and perfectly crafted. All of our guests raved about how beautiful the invitations were; it was constant! We got so many comments about them both when they arrived in the mail and on our wedding day! People made sure to compliment them. Christa was able to incorporate a structure that we were getting married under onto the front of our invitations and made sure to include personal touches throughout. We couldn't have been happier with the results! Christa is a joy to work with. Everything about the process was simple, prompt, and handled with great care! If you're considering working with her, just do it! You will not regret it!

Christa was absolutely amazing to work with! From the time I first went into her shop, with no idea what I envisioned for wedding stationary, all the way until all our stationary was printed, Christa was accommodating, creative, flexible, and made our dream wedding stationary, seating chart, table numbers, and poster sign everything we hoped for and more! Thank you Christa for designing such beautiful stationary for us. We continue to receive compliments on how beautiful everything was. I highly recommend Christa for her talent!

Christa is simply amazing! She is sweet, talented, and so easy to work with despite my indecisiveness at the beginning of our wedding planning process! She is a visionary and made our dream stationary become reality. She beautifully designed custom save the dates and invitations for our July wedding that received so many complements from our family and friends! We highly recommend Christa at Simply Torn for any and all of your stationary needs!

Christa was wonderful to work with, and she is very talented! She created our wedding menus, table numbers, and our thank you cards! They were so beautiful and everything we envisioned and more! She was also very responsive and professional.
