Are you in the market for wedding stationary that will grab attention for all the right reasons? Would you like something that can be customized to fit your personal wedding aesthetic? Are you currently reading this journal entry? If you answered, “Yes, yes and yes,” then Ashley Haglund, Wedding Stationery Superstar, is definitely someone you should check out! I first came across Ashley at a wedding show in Massachusetts and was thoroughly impressed with the variety and depth of the designs she had on display at her booth. Being an artist, I tend to scrutinize things visually (not in a mean way but I’ve trained myself to see quite well) and her work is incredibly solid. Some designs really caught my attention with the color choice while others pulled me in with the subtle way fonts were used. It really seemed like there was a design that would appeal to anyone. Later, while chatting, I learned that she has a background in graphic design as well as wedding planning and consulting. So, totally experienced in what she does and committed to having a part in people’s happily ever afters - sounds like a no brainer but let’s take a closer look at what she brings to the table.
To start, Ashley works with couples all over New England and offers both fully custom and semi-custom suite designs depending on what you’re looking for. Either choice allows you to incorporate your color scheme and wording while the fully custom option brings it to another level and can even include a watercolor painting of your venue as part of the design! Everything from Save the Dates and Invitations to Day of Stationery can be handled by Ashley to ensure the overall look is consistent and unique to you. She has lots of examples on her website, www.ae-invitations.com, for you to check out. If you’d like to know more, simply request a consultation call to learn how she can personally bring your invitations to life!
Speaking of websites, while they never tell the entire story of what it will be like to work with a vendor, the good ones give you a peek into their personality and approach and Ashley’s certainly falls into this category. From clear explanations and beautiful images to client testimonials and a step-by-step breakdown of her process, it’s all there. She is a very transparent person and strolling through her site makes you feel like you’ve known her for quite some time.
Lastly, I would be remiss if I didn’t mention how super nice of a person Ashley is (which is why I’m writing about her in the first place). From the moment we met it was clear that she was passionate about the work she was doing. She believes in it and feels strongly that her skills will bring another layer of beauty to her couples’ celebrations. As someone who loves to take notice of the small details, I can agree with this 100%. So, if this entry has peaked your interest even a tiny bit, I hope you’ll click on the link and take a look around. Best of luck with your planning!
