If you have ever wondered "who made this gorgeous invitation?" chances are it was Southern Fried Paper! Chelsea and her team were such a joy to work with for our November wedding. We were looking for something memorable, modern, and authentic to us as a couple. Since we worked with Southern Fried Paper to design all of the Day-of wedding items, the entire event was so cohesive and told OUR story.
When you think people won't notice those details, THEY DO! And it meant so much to us that our guests were able to see that the menus reminded them of the invitation, that had the same monogram as the

The team at Southern Fried Paper is incredibly talented and creative. I've worked with them on several events and each time their ideas to go all in on the event branding amazes me. I've seen them make custom books, intricate laser cut cards, beautiful watercolor designs and work with all types of materials (wood, velvet, metal, acrylic... and paper!). They are an innovative, professional stationery studio who can create one of a kind custom pieces. Definitely a perfect pick for discerning wedding couple.
