The process with megan is mind blowing as she coached me through the process of each, especially with developing a logo and branding pieces, something so sensitive and dear to my heart. I felt that she handled my brand as if it were her own. Her designs speak for themselves if you look at her portfolio http://maemaepaperie.com/ so i feel like it would be silly to go on about how inspired and original her work is but it is absolutely stunning. Megan is so great because her service stands up to her designs. During my logo process it was a struggle for me to discern how i felt I wanted my business to be represented. Through my indecisiveness, Megan walked me through the process and guided me on ways I can better portray my vision which ended in a difficult decision on my part because I loved each piece she offered so much. For my wedding invites we chose a collection suite plus a custom address stamp which was so unbelievably painless. She handled the printing as well. Everything was delivered in a timely manner and she gave great recommendations for envelopes & packaging. And the design was pretty awesome on top of the ease. Her passion gets me so excited about the pieces I order, the way my goods came delivered... So adorable! makes you feel valued and you never feel that she's too busy for you... even though I'm sure she is :) I work in the event industry and MaeMae Paperie is my first stationary & paper goods recommendation. She's simply outstanding.

I used MMP for my company's 70th anniversary invitations. Being that this was an auspicious…read moreoccasion for our company we wanted to make sure that we presented it to all of our invitees that way. We were not disappointed. The quality of the invitations were amazing. We used a VERY hefty paper to convey the value of these invitations and the party. Since the party was on the Queen Mary, there was a 1940's cruise line theme. The RSVP cards were even cut to represent a cruise ticket. In addition to the actual invitations we also purchased the design elements so that we could use them for internal marketing. When my graphic designer and ad agency got their invitations they were both impressed at the quality that we received. Mae Mae is a must for any event that you want to convey a sense of importance.

There was a great selection of different scents to use to make the candles and I appreciated the variety of glassware available. The class was very self led with little interaction provided from the instructor which can be great for certain groups but I felt didn't benefit the group that was there that day. The shop was full of different decorations which were nice but it gave a cluttered feel and was a bit dusty. My apron that I was given to use was dirty with someone else's trash inside the front pocket. I like the playlist addition to the candle which was unique and a fun way to add something personalized to the candle. I wouldn't likely come for a class again but would def purchase a candle as they all smelled great.

She helped draw out sketches to help me get a better idea of what my dress would look like. She was very quick to response to emails and questions. Although I did not go with The Blushing Room, because of my very tight budget, I HIGHLY recommend going with Christina when designing a wedding dress. The prices are below the average wedding dress cost and the quality of each dress is outstanding. Designing a dress for such a beautiful day makes it even more beautiful and personal and you.

I can't say enough good things about Ruby and how helpful she was. I can't imagine going through this process without her.

Extremely knowledgeable, communicates very well, is always available, gives great advice, doesn't try to upsell and has every level of product you could want. Ruby and Letter Perfect are the best! Highly recommend!!
