Amazing, personalized wedding invites and more

Ashley made our wedding invitations and so much more. From invites, to bar signs, to welcome sign, to table assignments and so much more, Ashely delivered an amazing product. She is so great to work with, communicates with you all the way through the process. She listens and makes an original design based on what you ask for and everything comes out better than you ever could imagine it up in your own head. We would not recommend Ashley at Flourishing Penguin more, she is the best!

Beautiful Invites & Day-of Materials

Ashley is amazing at her job creating wedding invite suites and day-of materials. She took a huge burdon off my back by managing the entire save the date/invite process. I was stunned with how beautiful everything turned out and how pefectly she captured my vision. She is very responsive and easy to work with. I would highly recommend Ashley!!

The best wedding paper!

We had such an amazing experience working with Ashley. Multiple guests told us our invitations were the most beautiful they had ever received, and that is all thanks to Ashley. Her creativity and detailed process made for the best experience. We had her create the day-of paper as well and could not have been happier with how it all tied together.

Review of Flourishing Penguin

Ashley and Flourishing Penguin were incredible to work with. The invitation suite and paper products for our wedding were so beautiful, and got tons of compliments from all our guests. They truly were one of my favorite aspects of our entire wedding, and tied everything else together. Ashley was very organized and gave us plenty of time and consultation opportunities to work together on the details.

Better than I ever imagined

I was led to Ashley on a suggestion from my wedding planner, and it was such a great decision. She prepared our invitation suites and menu cards. From day one, Ashley was so professional and so skilled at reading my mind as far as what my style is and what I was envisioning. Ashley also had great ideas on how to incorporate our toddler son's artwork into our invitations and menus. They turned out better than I ever could have imagined!

Ashley was also great working on my tight turnaround deadline and implementing even the smallest of suggestions/edits to the design. Truly, this was the most enjoyable part of wedding planning for me! It was so fun to see it all come together.

We also received so many compliments on the paper goods prepared by Ashley. Everyone LOVED our invitations. I can't wait to work with Ashley again!

Flourishing Penguin for the win

Ashley is AMAZING at what she does. She definitely takes what she does seriously and is on top of it all throughout the whole design process. We worked with her as we neared our wedding date and at times I wondered if we had enough time to create menus, seating assignments chart, stickers, custom bag tags, etc. but due to her timeline and attention to detail, she made sure we were always on track and that included time for revisions. Most of what she built we didn't have revisions for, but if we did she was great about updating it to our liking and doing it in a timely fashion. When we picked up our materials, she also provided us extra sets for photography and keepsake. She also organized all our menus by table number and it made the whole thing that much easier. Highly recommend Ashley and Flourishing Penguin!

Highly recommend this vendor for a beautiful and creative paper option for your wedding!

Ashley was an absolute pleasure to work with, and we LOVED her work. From the invitation suites to the day of materials, the paper details she created and crafted for us was definitely a highlight of the planning process as well as a guest favorite. She did a beautiful watercolor and even custom mongram and we just loved all her work as the finishing touch to our wedding. Highly recommend!

Ashley was amazing!

Ashley was so talented and incredible to work with. She made our invitations, cocktail napkins, escort cards, escort wall, and even made custom koozies with our dog's face on them!! She was also super responsive and answered all of our questions right away. I will definitely recommend Ashley to everyone!!!

Personalized, meticulous and timely! Who could ask for more?

Ashley at Flourishing Penguin was meticulous, timely and completely reliable for all our paper product needs for our wedding (save the dates, invitations, programs, master seating sign, escort cards, table signage). She personalizes everything with the most unique designs using her art studio background and was a vendor I never had to worry about. She always had designs on schedule and her wedding planner background gave her ideas and expertise that no others had. If you need paper products for your next event, look no further than Flourishing Penguin!

AMAZING and beyond my wildest dreams!

Ashley was AMAZING to work with! She made the process so much fun. Through working with her on the save the dates, invites, and day-of paper - she helped me create a vision for the entire wedding. Because of her experience in the wedding industry, she was able to help me with more than just invites - she pushed me to think out of the box! Working with her was one of my favorite parts of wedding planning. And everyone was blown away by the final product! On top of her creativity, she was responsive, helpful, and kind.
