The detail is impeccable and Queen Elizabeth's beauty in her face, crown and rod of equity are brought to life. The service from Cynthia and W.B. was amazing! They always kept in contact with me with courtesy emails on the process of the painting until it was completed. It was a pleasure working with them and couldn't be happier with this masterpiece! I will also add that their prices and work are worth every penny. I would highly recommend this artist and veteran owned business to anyone interested in portraits painted with oil paint. The passion W.B. puts in his work is evident through this portrait and his other paintings. Support this amazing couple and their business.

Sally, the artist, has a great feel for form and style, and her glaze colors are rich, vivid, gracefully combined, and showcase the elemental colors of our local beaches and communities. I chose the gift and then chose some for myself. Sally's husband shares the same studio and makes acoustic guitars and the most beautiful wooden guitar stands! It is well worth the trip to shop here, you will support local artists who have passion, talent and who make things that will last a lifetime.

She responded back with clarification questions and then a few drafts. This continued until our order was finalized. We appreciated that she prompt and patient. Revisions and responses arrived in a timely manner. Our order arrived in only a few days. She was patient with us when we were unable to respond back in time (it was a hectic last few weeks until our big day). We were thankful she was willing to make some last minute changes to our order. And finally, we loved her work! The place cards and table numbers looked so beautiful. They were sturdy and really made our venue quite nice. I highly recommend Paper Doll Invitations.

My fiance and I are having a short engagement and, with our busy lifestyle, found the wedding…read moreinvitation aspect of planning had fallen behind schedule. Accordingly, we planned to put something simple together to decrease the turnaround time. But my father (a stickler for detail) had other ideas for the wedding invitation of his only daughter. He wanted a custom invitation that, when I was initially researching stationers, seemed to require a minimum of a month long turnaround. This was of concern to my fiance and I. Trying to balance my dad's ideas with our timeline was weighing on us heavily. Ultimately, if my dad wanted something so specific, I requested his help in making it happen. Enter Deborah. When my father introduced me to Deborah, I was talking to a few stationers about the desired design. The highest quote came in at $6,000 (!!!) and the lead times were lengthy. These were really deal breakers for my fiance and I. Deborah, on the other hand, had an incredibly reasonable quote that was really in the range of what we wanted to pay, even before my father started mentioning all of these customization he envisioned. She also had a shorter lead time than the other stationers. These reasons made her the obvious choice for the job. But that was only the start of why we felt lucky to have found Deborah. Once we had her on the job, we met with her in a matter of days to describe the concrete ideas we had for the wedding invitation itself (she had already sourced the specific paper we were requesting by this point--made by a manufacturer far away and with potentially limited quantities). We also discussed the verbiage for the details insert, but we had a sketchy idea of design/layout and asked she employ her design skills to make us a mock up to review. After our meeting, she took ideas from many disparate things we had shown her to complete the final design of the whole invitation suite: my parents' wedding invitation, the font/style from our save-the-date, and images of invitations I had pinned. We exchanged emails back and forth requesting various changes and making selections about the design. Meanwhile this all-important paper was being shipped from afar. Deborah had estimated our wedding invitations would be done in two weeks of our meeting, but we were astounded when she delivered a custom made invitation suite within one week. I am not sure we could have ordered a stock invitation from a place like Minted and had it quite so fast. The suite included the handmade paper, a beautiful vellum insert, the twist of a eucalyptus-colored envelope, and gorgeous fonts. The clincher? She stuffed and mailed all ~200 invitations for us! We were completely blown away by that. Deborah went absolutely above and beyond for us. Stuffing 200 invitations takes time and this was a complimentary service. With how busy we are, it can not be understated how supportive this was for us. We just simply could not have been more pleased to send out our invitations so timely (our concern), with beautiful custom handmade deckle edge stationary (my dad's concern), and within budget (appreciated by all concerned). If you are thinking about hiring Deborah, don't hesitate. She will make what can feel like an overwhelming process completely painless and, really, a delight. Thank you, Deborah!
