Lauren was so collaborative in creating our save the dates and invitations - they turned out beyond gorgeous and were exactly the vibe my fiance and i were going for. She was so easy to work with, easy to get in touch with, extremely receptive to all ideas, and the tools she used to keep ourselves on track were extremely helpful. Lauren has a very unique eye that I absolutely loved and I'm so happy we were able to work with her! Highly recommend for all your paper (or non-paper, she's good like that) goodies!

I found Lauren and Darling + Pearl on Instagram one day and am so glad I did! We are in different states so all of our communication was through email, but it was never a problem not to meet in person! She was able to get a sense of what I wanted in our invitation suite and then used her own creativity to make something wonderful! I ended up going with a mix of letterpress and flat printing with a custom venue sketch. I got so many compliments on the invitations from guests!

I really enjoyed working with Lauren at Darling + Pearl. She did an incredible job addressing our envelopes and creating our beautiful letterpress wedding invitation suite. She understood what I wanted and made my vision a reality. She is quick to respond and delivered everything on time. I highly recommend Darling + Pearl for any calligraphy/stationary needs! I can't wait for another excuse to use Darling + Pearl again.

We are so happy that we chose to have Darling and Pearl provide the stationery for our wedding. The invitation suites were absolutely gorgeous as were the menus, ceremony programs, and other day-of stationery that she provided. Lauren is so great to work with. She was very accommodating of both our style and budget. Also, the Trello account that she sets up for her clients makes communication quick and easy. We had a minor emergency with a misspelling. (Our mistake, not hers.) We were able to contact her that evening and pick up the reprinted stationery within a few days. Overall, the experience was wonderful and Lauren’s work is beautiful. We can’t recommend Darling and Pearl highly enough.

Lauren is absolutely amazing to work with! She is incredibly creative, professional, and accommodating. After having her design my wedding invitations (and then receiving AMAZING compliments from friends and family), I decided to have her do the stationery for my entire wedding, thank you cards and escort cards included! She is the best, and I'd recommend her to anyone :)

Lauren helped concept and create a unique and beautiful set of invitations, menus and wedding signage. I provided her with inspiration imagery, colors and messaging and she developed pieces that set the perfect tone for our special day. A focal point of cocktail hour was a beautiful seating chart she created and mounted on a rustic piece of wood. She provided all assets on time and packaged all the pieces to ship and be delivered without an issue. Her pricing is fair and she worked to make everything work within our budget. Lauren helped make this planning process more efficient, enjoyable and happy! I recommend Lauren and her creativity, diligence and kindness to any bride.

If you give Lauren just a few parameters and then let her "run with it", you will get the most beautiful, fresh design. She is a true artist with vision and a honed perspective. Lauren takes pride in her work and uses only the best materials and inks. Even the way she bundles the finished product is done artfully and meticulously. You won't be disappointed!

Lauren was (and is!) a pleasure to work with. She has a unique eye for creativity and will make sure your paper-goods/stationery stands out above the rest. Lauren handled all of our programs, menus, table numbers and escort cards. With everything else we had going on the last few weeks before our wedding, it was so nice to know we did not have to stress about all of these event details and they were being taken care of for us. The colors were vibrant, paper quality was very high-end and our guests (still to this day) comment on how beautiful the details all looked. I would recommend Darling + Pearl to anyone getting married! It is easy to find paper-products just about anywhere you look these days, but if you want to work with someone you can trust and have open/honest conversations with - who will 'get' your vision and expand on it - then hire Lauren!

After checking out some photos of wedding invitations online, I came across Darling & Pearl and knew I didn't have to look any further. All of the designs were simple and sophisticated, but yet so creative and eye catching at the same time. I knew I wanted custom invitations that would set the tone for my special day. Well ladies, I have one word for you....AMAZING!!!! They were all I imagined and more. The look and feel of them was just perfect. Lauren knew exactly what I was looking for. She was so helpful and easy to work with. My invitations were beautiful and I couldn't be happier. If you don't use her for your invites then your crazy!! She's awesome.

I'm so glad I found Lauren and Darling + Pearl! She is a doll to work with, and produces such beautiful work time after time. She's definitely a master in her craft, and always recommends the design elements that will work best for letterpress. Experience pays off in this field, and nothing that comes out of her shop is less than fantastic. We have worked together on multiple projects, and her vision and expertise is always spot on.
