    Bella Giornata Paper Co.

    We were referred to Martina through a coworker and we are so happy to have had her create our wedding invitation suite! During the initial consultation I had showed an inspiration image of what I wanted our invitations to look like and she delivered! Once she had our initial details, she was very prompt in creating multiple options for our suite and took action on each piece of feedback that we gave. The entire design process took place over zoom (for the initial consultation) and over email - which was extremely convenient for my busy work schedule. Once we had picked a design, she then sent multiple paper options for us to review, so that we could touch and feel each quality. We received such positive feedback from guests on our stunning invitations! Martina really understood my vision and helped to bring it to life!
    We also designed custom newspaper print outs for our welcome bags, as well as drink toppers for our reception through Martina. Unfortunately the drink toppers did not dissolve into the cocktails like they were supposed to (through no fault of her own!), but Martina was so quick to offer apologies and even refunded us! If you are looking for fully customizable invitations, you won't regret hiring Martina - she will work closely with you to ensure she is delivering exactly what you are looking for and her product has such high value!

    Everything we hoped for

    After doing a lot of research we decided on Silently Screaming Designs. From the first time we spoke with Martina about our vision we knew we made the right choice. She was very attentive, organized, creative and detail oriented. She worked with us every step of the way to ensure we got everything we desired. She exceeded our expectations. Our wedding invites and church programs were timeless, beautiful and one of a kind.

    Amazing, easy - no stress!

    Martina was amazing to work with, I sent her some ideas of what I was looking for and she had a ton of samples pulled out for us to look at. She was so kind and the process was fast.
    It was great to have one thing on the list of wedding planning go as smooth as this did.
    I have gotten countless compliments on my invites! I honestly couldn’t be happier with them!

    AMAZING Invitations and GREAT Pricing!

    My invitations were perfect and Martina was amazing to work with! She was so understanding when my guest list consistently changed and responded to my emails very promptly – which every bride knows is important! Her prices are extremely reasonable compared to other places which was a big plus. I was able to get everything I wanted for my invitations (pocket in the back, accommodation and RSVP cards, two layered invitation AND a design cut out on the corners to make it unique) and it was all within our budget which other companies charged a couple thousand to do! She also did all the printing and addressing for us which other places were suggesting I do on my own to keep the price down. She also packaged an invite as a keepsake for me in a cute box with all the parts to have forever. I always recommend her to all my friends who are getting married and would use her again!

    Great to work with

    We used silently screaming designs for save the dates and invitations, Martina was great. She took the time to figure out what was best for us, and made samples, and addressed any questions. Overall the experience was the best part during planning the wedding. Highly recommend!!!

    Beautiful designs, fast responses, great value

    Martina is amazing!

    She did such a wonderful job on creating my invitations. It was everything I asked for an more. She was extremely fast in her turnaround with proofs and even in ordering the actual prints. Very thorough work, I am very picky but she was able to understand and pick up on my vision easily. She nailed the design early on and took in my edits kindly and patiently. We also had her create menus that matched our invitation theme and they were a huge hit!

    Fantastic prices, and a great return! Highly recommend!

    Our Perfect Invitation

    We used Silently Screaming Designs to design our wedding invitations. We met with Martina and she showed us invitations and said she could even customize one for us. I gave her ideas and she was able to create the perfect invitation. I also needed specific response cards and she created them as well. She was reasonably priced, efficient and friendly. The invitations were printed within a couple of weeks. She addressed the envelopes as well. I love looking at my wedding invitation and she made the process so simple. Thank you Martina! We highly recommend using her for any invitation need.

    Martina is a pleasure to work with. When we first met I had a style in mind but didn’t know what particular design I wanted. She provided me with a lot of options to choose from and guided me on what will look best with my wedding color scheme. My invitations came out gorgeous and was very happy with the final look. I was very concerned about the time frame or when I will receive them but she constantly updated me on the time frame from what the manufacturer told her. Also, the manufacturer printed my Rsvp cards in black instead of gold and she quickly had new ones sent to me with no charge. Martina is very helpful with any questions you have and I highly recommend her.

    Wonderful!

    Martina was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding invitations! There were so many options from lettering to colors to design, and Martina made it worry-free by meeting one-on-one with us so she could sense what we liked and disliked, and guided us through the process. She helped us select a beautiful laser cut pocket to match the invitation design, and all the pieces flowed perfectly. We were thrilled with the results and received so many compliments on them! Overall a wonderful experience!

    Martina is a pleasure to work with! I asked for a simple design for my wedding save-the-dates. She worked with me every step of the way, from the fonts to the photos to the papers and envelopes. Martina gave me a multitude of options and I felt completely at ease in her hands. She even packaged them beautifully in a bow, and I couldn't wait to open them. I'm very much looking forward to working with her on my invitations next!

    Martina could not possibly have done more to make sure we were happy with our invitations. She created a custom set for us and we have gotten countless compliments from our guests since sending them out. The invitations were unique, gorgeous, and perfectly us- all at a great price. I strongly believe in supporting small businesses and Silently Screaming Designs is s a great example of why. You'll be able to get an affordable invitation suite that is unique and made with love and attention for your big day.

    Martina was the best person for the job! She changed my design a few times without hesitation when I couldn't make up my mind. The invitations came out exactly as they were shown in the final proof! Martina always answered my questions quickly and the overall process was smooth! I will definitely be using Silently Screaming Designs again and again!

    Martina is a creative talent and a delight to interact with. I could have been her worst nightmare; a client with a graphic design background . . . just the opposite! Martina listened, collaborated, made valuable suggestions and executed beyond our expectations. We had a specific theme in mind and she nailed it!

    Bella Giornata Paper Co.'s reply:

    Thank you so much for your review! Both of us having a graphic design background presented a unique collaboration opportunity that I've never had before with another client and it was so much fun! I'm glad that you were both happy with the final results!

    Silently screaming designs did all of my wedding stationary for my wedding in April and till today we are getting compliments on our invitations and fine little details that were done at the wedding.

    Martina is a pleasure to work with. She was dedicated and you can see it in her work. She spent the time with me to talk me through ideas I had in my head. My request was to incorporate small details of beauty and the beast and she was able to do that. She designed a rose to go in the background of our invitation along with getting a rose seal for the invitations. She also designed beauty end the best signage with the color scheme of the wedding. One of our favorite designs was a monogram she designed for the back pocket of the invitation it was such a unique element. Everything was custom down to out favor details for wine bottles.

    Our wedding programs were also done with Martina and came out wonderful. She helped with any wording issues that I had and made everything so easy.

    I look back and absolutely loved working with Martina. I will be using her again for other occasions and highly recommend her. The passion she has for what she does makes the stationary and the experience even more memorable.

    It was my pleasure to work with you and Brian on your wedding invitations! And as a Disney fanatic myself, I loved adding subtle little Beauty and the Beast details throughout your invitation suite and the day-of pieces! I'm glad to hear that you found the invitation process to be easy and I would love to work with you again in the future!

    Martina was so great to work with and our invitations turned out to be perfect! She listened carefully to what we wanted and really made our vision come alive for our destination wedding invitations. Our invitations also got stolen off of our front porch, she quickly responded to me when I informed her of my issue and had new invitations sent to us within a couple days! It was so refreshing to have someone so responsive to help and also create such great invitations! I would recommend her to anyone!

    Bella Giornata Paper Co.'s reply:

    Michelle, thank you so much for your review! I'm glad that you enjoyed the invitation process and that the invitations being stolen did not put a damper on your experience. It was my pleasure to help you during such a stressful occurrence. Best of luck to you and Stefan!

    Working with Martina at Silently Screaming Designs was by far the best decision I made. I was so nervous for doing my wedding invitations and she made it completely painless. She is so responsive and listens to everything you want. I’m the kind of person that really wasn’t sure how to put into words what I wanted and I gave her a vague description and somehow she captured it perfectly. She was unbelievably patient with me and all of my questions and changes! I absolutely love my invitations and received so many compliments on them. It was so great that I asked her to do my programs and she really was fantastic about that process too. I was delayed with getting the final information to her and kept making changes. I was starting to stress, but she completely put me at ease and everything got done! I would highly suggest any bride to use Martina for any of their paper needs for their wedding if they want a stress free process. It was so nice to not have to worry about this part of wedding planning as brides have enough to worry about! Thank you so much Martina!

    Martina did such a wonderful job with our wedding stationary. She created the most beautiful nautical invitation suite for our wedding...with plenty of puns! She was able to create other stationary to use as signs for the wedding as well, and had them all match the invitations. She created our menus and ceremony programs. She was very quick to respond with her emails, and delivery was very fast too! Once she sent the design to the printer, they were in the mail the next week! I would totally recommend her not only for wedding, but for any stationary needs!!

    I asked Martina to make bridal shower invitations as the Maid of Honor, celebrating my best friend's upcoming wedding. I had a vision in mind and sent Martina some ideas I had been looking at, and asked to see what ideas she would be able to come up with. To say she blew the ideas out of the water, is an understatement. She took my vision and made it into a reality. The best part was she used my original idea and requests and made samples of all different versions and customizations of these invitations. She was patient and willing to work with me to really make the invitations exactly what I was hoping for. The quality of her work is very apparent and the time and personalization is seen through each and every perfected detail. Martina even used the design on the invitations to make a matching recipe box that was utilized for the shower, an idea that was so clever. I will be using Martina over and over again in the future (as I already have again). Check her awesome work out - you will be thrilled you did :)

    I asked Martina from Silently Screaming Designs to help me put together a few fun pieces for a Moroccan themed Bridal Shower I was planning for my sister. She made beautiful Aladdin/Moroccan inspired table numbers, genie lamp (cut out) place cards, colorful #hashtag signs for the bride and groom's personal wedding hashtag, cards for guests to write wishes to the bride and groom, and unbelievable gold envelopes with purple Moroccan inspired print and a genie lamp on them (she also added all 100 guests addresses herself- which made life for me sooo easy)!! Martina is very reliable, helpful, kind, easy to talk to, quick to responding to questions and a truly talented person! And, the price is right!

    I recommend Silently Screaming Designs to any person who is looking for unique handcrafted gifts or assistance in designing their dream wedding or next party/event! My sister was blown away by all of Silently Screaming Designs - it was a true success!

    An amazing overall experience working with Silently Screaming Designs! Designs made from the heart for sure!

    Thank you Silently Screaming Designs!
