We’re two months into 2026, and it’s been busy, so we’re taking a quick breath to say: WE’VE MOVED!

Last fall, we said goodbye to our studio in The Fitch Building and made the move to a new space in the DSM East Village, right next to Clyde’s Fine Diner on E. Grand Ave. This kind of storefront studio has been on our wish list for a long time, a place that feels inviting, easy to find, and made for collaboration (maybe with a side of stationery retail someday ... we’ll see!).

We’re still putting on the finishing touches, but we’re in, creating, and excited for this next chapter. We can’t wait to share more of the space and welcome our commercial and wedding client friends.

So grateful to this crew! We’re small but mighty, working with couples on their wedding invites, wedding professionals on their branding and websites, and slew of other client projects you’d never guess.

Thank you to our couples who voted us Bronze this year at the 8th annual Wedding Choice Awards - Central Iowa. The night was spectacular as always.
