We love showing behind the scenes of our design process because what we do is so much more than make pretty paper. The beauty of custom design from an artist is in the details that feel so “you.” ❤️

Part 2 coming because the Day-Of papers deserve their own moment!

Happy Anniversary, Amy & Mark! Markiplier 🦖❤️

Had so much fun creating wedding invitations and day-of paper goods for these two. It’s always the best when my couples trust me to play creatively. More to come on the BTS of the design!

🤍 IN THE PORTFOLIO 🤍

I love showing more than just a picture of the finished product on our portfolio - because hiring us means you get more than just pretty paper. You get a partner to tell your story with.

I’ll be honest, a lot of these are from a couple years ago - I’m so behind! A lot of our recent work includes more complex print methods and techniques, but the spirit of ultra-personal, meaningful, unique wedding branding for each couple has not changed.

Head to the link in bio to explore more of our wedding stories. Each as unique as our clients are 💕

Greenery, textures, silk ribbon, gold - for a moody wedding in an English castle 🏰🌳🍃

For Ana & Lewis’ custom invitations, we used both letterpress and foil to make that main invite card pop. The suite also features a custom crest and an illustration of their gorgeous venue.

Vintage stamps by candlelight 🕯️

The next event we’ll be featuring is a moody English castle wedding. 🌳🏰🌳

Showing off the curated set of vintage stamps, the rich green envelope, and calligraphy. Stay tuned to see what’s inside.

We normally don’t do many neutral or minimalist invitation designs, so when we do we are excited to find a way to make it still feel like Gates Paper Co and still feel detailed, unique and luxurious.

Our version of a neutral, minimalist suite. All about creamy warm tones that work in harmony, textures that feel expensive to touch, and just a touch of pearlescent sparkle.

For the design concept and inspiration behind these, go see our previous post 🤍

In partnership with our friends at ✨
