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!

Team

Martina
Martina
Founder/Creative Designer

I founded Silently Screaming Designs in 2007. I had a strong desire to turn my love for art into my livelihood. Attending the School of Art + Design at Purchase College in New York allowed me to gain valuable knowledge in graphic design, photography, painting and drawing, bookbinding, letterpress, and silkscreening. All of these influences are incorporated into my designs today, as are my love for music, movies, poetry, and corny quotes.

I want to make something special for you! It is a great challenge to create the perfect stationery for important events in someone's life, and it brings me joy to be able to do so. I will work one on one with you to create tailored pieces to capture the essence of whatever event you are planning.

I also enjoy stepping away from the computer. I sell my own line of goods through Society6 which features my photography and artwork. In my spare time, I love to paint, read, create handmade crafts, play piano, bake, and play video games. I'm the proud momma of a crested gecko named Newton and I'm addicted to all things Disney.
