Lauren is the GOAT ✨

Lauren's artistry truly blew me away. I had a general idea of what I wanted my invitation suite to look like but she took my vision, brought it to life, and was the most supportive vendor throughout the whole process. Her flexibility and passion for the work she does was something that was invaluable during a time that can often be extremely stressful. She is the sweetest human and working with her was a highlight of the wedding planning process. My suite is a keepsake that brings back beautiful memories. I would highly suggest reaching out to Lauren for your stationery needs because she will breathe life into those dreams.

Eleven out of ten!

Lauren is a MUST HAVE when it comes to vendors- her products are so beautiful I opened the box with my invites and almost cried! She is amazing with communication (very fast!!!!) and so very easy to work with. Her the beauty of her kind heart shows up in how she conducts herself, but also in her products. My invites are eclectic, one of a kind, and a true piece of art that I will be saving for years to come. She got them out so quickly to me and I was overjoyed to be able to send them to friends and family, they are so beautiful you just can't help but share them immediately!!! You will never regret working with Lauren!!!!!!!!!

Hey!

Nice to meet you. My name is Lauren, I am the founder and owner of Tortoise Designs. After spending years of baking cakes and being knee deep in buttercream, I decided to take my creative talents and put them on paper.

I've always had a fond attachment to all things paper. Having already been in the wedding industry, I figured that wedding suites would be a good fit.

So off to designing we go, let's create something special and amazing for your MOST rememorable day!
