The White Victorian Lace design embodies a soft, minimal look with an added vintage flair. The white hue and versatile pattern allows this linen to be layered as a runner or overlay, but it could also be used as a full tablecloth for an elegant look.

Where are you based?

We are in Norcross off of Jimmy Carter and 85

6070 Dawson Blvd., Suite C

Norcross, GA 30093

Do you offer your services to clients outside of Atlanta?

Not typically.  Cakes tend to not travel well, so it just depends on the circumstances. 

What options for customization do you offer?

We offer custom design from top to bottom.  It starts out with custom structures to the details and colors within the design.

At what point in the wedding planning process should clients begin meeting with you?

The cake should be one of the last décor pieces to design, so it fits seamlessly within the atmosphere.  We typically meet with clients from 9-3 months prior to the wedding.

Could you describe the creative process behind designing your cakes?

We like to get inspired by the feel of the entire wedding and take bits and pieces from different elements to truly make a major design feature within the reception.  Inspiration can come from the bride’s dress, the invitations or simply the textures used within the wedding.  We begin by building structures with Styrofoam to get the exact size and shape we want and then we start sketching.  I send over ideas to the couple and planner and it is truly a collaborative effort.

What are some of your favorite cake trends at the moment?

We are loving the trend of color cakes instead of the traditional white wedding cake.  It is enabling us to stretch ourselves outside of the box a little bit with design and we are loving how they turn out in the reception environment.  Metallics and painted cakes are also some of our favorite trends.   It really turns a cake into a canvas and really gives a beautiful artistic touch to receptions.

What makes your service unique?

We push the boundaries.  We really try to do things that you have never seen before to truly make a client’s wedding a once in a lifetime experience.  Our owner was an engineer prior to starting the company, so we approach structures and challenges in a very mathematical and precise way.  If a client or planner has an idea… we are always up for the challenge!

What is something that most people don’t know about you or your business?

That we are all science nerds.  A lot of people don’t realize how much science is actually involved from the precision within the baking process to the way the cake acts in different temperatures.  We are incredibly passionate about making our cakes perfect.  We spend a lot of time planning and trialing prior to the wedding weekend and leave nothing up to chance.

One of my favorite components of a wedding is its stationery. You can incorporate your stationery into your wedding in so many ways. Of course there are the save-the-dates and invitations, but there are also your menus, escort cards, favors, programs, seating charts and more. The team at Papered Wonders has over 13 years of experience creating luxury, custom stationery for your wedding. They also specialize in providing stationery for any of your event and business needs.

Where you based?
Atlanta, Georgia

Do you offer your services to clients outside of Atlanta?
Yes, we have provided services to many clients outside of Atlanta. We are happy to provide our custom stationery to clients all over the globe!

What do you specialize in?
We specialize in all things paper and graphic design. We offer custom business stationery and collateral as well as social stationery. Perhaps, we are best known for the custom wedding stationery we provide. It is our pleasure to create “papered” dreams for each of our clients as they journey to their wedding day. We love to document the journey from start to finish with purely wondrous inspiration.

How did you get started and when?
Our founder, Lisa R. Zachery, started designing invitations and other stationery pieces as a hobby. She loved assisting loved ones with life’s celebrations. She began the business part-time in 1995, while working in Corporate America. Papered Wonders, Inc. began to operate as a full-time entity in 2001 and since that time we have grown our client base and have serviced hundreds of brides throughout the years.

How do you customize stationery for your clients?
Our customization process starts at the very beginning. Every piece and detail of stationery, whether business, social or wedding, is a unique combination and representation of the client’s desires and vision. We focus on the intricate details so that each piece of stationery differs from the other and so that the client is fully embodied into the work.

What do you offer in addition to invites and save the dates?
We offer all things paper! In regards to wedding stationery, we offer save the dates and thank you cards and everything in between including, but not limited to, wedding invitations, programs, menu cards, escort cards, favors, seating charts, directional signs, banners, keepsake boxes, and the list goes on!

What is your favorite part of the process?
Our favorite part of the process is the process itself! We take great pleasure in working closely with our client throughout the design process. We love interacting with them and learning more about them by learning their distinct preferences. When the journey is over, we are pleased when the client is pleased but saddened that the process has to come to an end. Fortunately, we seek to build relationships so that when one celebration ends and the other begins, we are there to start the process all over again!

 Where do you get inspiration from?
We look to many sources for creative direction, but our greatest inspiration is our clients. So much of our work is dependent upon who the client is and what they seek to convey that they become the driving force for all of our creativity.

What makes you different from other stationery specialists?
We would like to believe that what makes us different is the personal approach we take to business. Rather than viewing our clients as business transactions, we consider them to be an extension of the work we do at Papered Wonders, Inc. We do not merely service our clients, but we seek to serve them and provide them with the absolute best experience possible.

Sarah Sorrentino, owner of Foglio Press,

recently gave us the inside scoop on unique and creative ways to incorporate your wedding colors into your stationery.  Your stationery is often the first impression your guests will have of your wedding; you might as well give them a little preview of what your big day will look like. Read Sarah’s thoughts on the topic below:

Stationery…

is your chance to make an amazing and unforgettable first impression on your wedding guests – so it goes without saying that it’s a super important part of your wedding design scheme! Your save the dates and invitations should introduce and underscore the style of your wedding celebration in every way, including, of course, your color scheme. While we’ve gotten away from very strict and “matchy-matchy” wedding “theme colors” in modern event planning, it’s still important to create a cohesive and beautiful plan for the use of color throughout your wedding day. And as brides and grooms get more creative and sophisticated in their overall event designs, they’re also moving far away from the very traditional idea of ivory paper and black ink as the only acceptable options for their save the dates and invitations.

Here are a few creative ways to infuse a little color into your wedding stationery and set a beautiful mood for your guests, well before they set foot inside the chapel door!

1. Ink Colors

If you lean a bit towards the traditional, but want to incorporate just a hint of color into your invitation suite, ink color is a great place to do so. Add a pop of color for just the bride and groom’s names, or use a beautiful hue for all of your text for a sophisticated alternative to the usual black. Here, we designed an accent of deep plum ink in a bold calligraphy-inspired font, and balanced it out with a soft, warm grey for the main invitation text.

2. Artwork

For a more dramatic presentation, add colorful design elements to your suite – these can be more literal representations of your wedding theme (introducing a beach wedding with shells or starfish, for example) or they can be more modern or abstract like the watercolor wash used in the seaside wedding suite below.

3. Paper layers, Belly Bands and Ribbons

If you like a clean and simple design layout, layering papers and ribbons can be a great way to add a bit of texture as well as color to your suite. You can create a paneled effect with colorful papers, or just bundle all of the pieces in your suite with a gorgeous ribbon to finish things off and keep everything together inside the envelope.

4. Pocket Folders

Speaking of inserts, if you have a lot of them you may want to consider packaging everything neatly inside a pocket folder – this gives your guests an easy place to keep it all together. And, it’s a perfect place to add color – you can go subtle or bold, traditional or modern, solid colors or playful patterns! This springtime invitation suite incorporated a fresh, light Tiffany blue shimmer in the pocket folder, and accented with a classic butter yellow grosgrain ribbon and a wax seal to finish.

5. Edge Painting

This is by far one of my personal favorite ways to add unexpected, modern color to an invitation – paint a thin stripe of bold color along the edges of extra-luxurious, double-thick paper!

6. Colored Paper

For a super traditional bride, this might be considered heresy – but we’re seeing more and more couples opt for colorful papers in their invitation suites, and when done with a bit of restraint, this can be a gorgeous and unexpected twist on a classic look! Here, we printed on a gorgeous, light blush paper with gold foil stamping and warm grey screen printing for a look that was at once sophisticated and whimsical.

7. Envelope Liners

This is one finishing touch that I firmly believe no invitation suite should be without. Lining your envelopes just completes a suite like nothing else. Go for a simple, solid color, add a little bit of shimmer, or use a one-of-a-kind handmade paper for a completely unique twist in an elegant and modern application. Whatever paper you choose, your envelope liners are the perfect place for that final pop of gorgeous, statement-making color!
