MY MISSION

To provide unique and pretty wedding invitations and papers that speak to the individual personality of each client.

MY VISION

​

To be the custom wedding invitation and paper store of choice through outstanding design, quality and earnest customer service.

Hi friend!

Here at English Tea Paperie, I create completely custom and bespoke wedding invitations and papers that speak to the individual personality of each bride and groom. Catering to the Richmond, VA, surrounding area and worldwide, I am passionate about my clients and know that each and every design element plays a huge role in the overall look and feel of their big day. I believe in infusing the love found in relationships, along with the beauty of the earth into the designs of my papers. 

​

Living the ultimate American dream, I moved to the US from England in 2006, having just married my wonderful husband Joe. Waiting for my green card to arrive in the mail, I sat at home with a million ideas and a pot of color pencils, ready to create an entire line of custom illustrated note cards. 2 years of sketching, creating and planning and English Tea Paperie was born!  Thanks to a successful personal blog, aptly named English Tea (no longer online), my note cards business really took off and I ran with it for many years, however, I always knew something was missing. 

Back to 2006 and searching for my dream wedding invitations (both in the US and the UK), I couldn't find what I was looking for, especially within my budget. Having been an art school student, I decided the only thing to do was to make my own.  It was THE biggest creative challenge of my life, yet the most rewarding.  I loved and still love my invitations, which brings me to the next part...

​

After many years of creating custom note cards for my online store, I gathered a few close friends in my living room and we had a major brainstorming party.  I knew something in my business plan wasn't comfortable and I wasn't living out my life purpose.  After much discussion and some serious prayer the wedding world became very clear.  When the Lord creates a path, you walk it and so I did!

Here I am, all brand new and sparkly; hoping I can help you dream up the most beautiful invitations you could ever imagine and then make them a reality for you, just as I did for my own wedding!

I hope I get to meet you soon!
