A Classic Wedding for Madeline and Joe

From the bride: As cliche as it sounds, Lori gave me the greatest gift of a lifetime - the wedding of my dreams. Lori personable yet professional, easy-going / flexible yet proactive, energetic/enthusiastic yet VERY calming, realistic yet creative - she was truly just as invested in our wedding as we were.

From the bride: Stacey Stern from Steracle Press delivered brilliantly on every element of the stationary. I certainly had some 'big' ideas when it came to stationary and to say she delivered is an understatement. Stacey took each aspect of the stationary to the next level.
