I'd love to introduce you to another one of our stationery friends: Swiss Cottage Designs! By taking a couple’s story or vision and finding an innovative way to express it, the studio creates one-of-a-kind wedding invitations and more. Plus, the paperie creations are so much fun!! Here, the designers dish.

Biggest project you’ve had: With every new client comes a new set of challenges. Each client has their own unique perspective and trying to capture that can certainly be a daunting task. But this is why I love what I do! When we find the right look and design, nothing is better.
What you LOVE: I am inspired by the little things: great packaging, interesting typography on a menu, vintage labels. Because I have an illustration background, I'm a sucker for fun and creative illustrations on anything!

The artwork here is AMAZING! The designer for Swiss Cottage is incredibly versatile and easy to work with. I just sent out save the dates from Swiss Cottage that were done in water color and I keep getting compliments for them! I can't wait to see what Swiss Cottage dreams up for my invites!

I received so many compliments on my save the dates, I'm so excited to send out my invitations! Courtney does a great job capturing all of my ideas and translating them in her designs. Her water color maps are amazing, it really adds a personal aspect for invitatins/gift bags for guests.
