I cannot recommend Mekala at Tie that Binds enough. First of all she was a dream to work with. My daughter (the bride) is a graphic designer, but was too stressed to do her own invites. (Also need to add that my other daughter got married one month before so we were all stressed out!) She literally found Mekala on Pinterest and contacted her. My daughter is beyond picky with font, design, etc. and Mekala worked side by side with her to make invites, and other wedding papers, menus, table signs, etc. exactly how my daughter wanted them. Her work was unique, gorgeous, and she even ribboned and stuff the invites and mailed them! We got soooo many compliments on those invites! And trust me, if my daughter likes it - they are good! Thanks so much again Mekala for making a stressful time less stressful, and for amazing work. You are truly talented!
