Paper Refinery is more than an invitation business. We love a custom designed event, and working with event planners on every special detail is where we shine. You want a custom watercolor design for your sailcloth tent panels? We got you. A custom dance floor? Let’s get creative! Patterns for backdrops or custom linens? You’re speaking our language.

A suite worth pausing for.

@paperrefinery brought P&J’s story full circle, nodding to the law school lockers where their last names first lined up. An emerald pattern pulled from Gucci’s iconic green, finished with a gold oval monogram.

An absolute stunner on the Kiawah River. The sneaks are in from @madisonkeys & @bjornfrat dreamy celebration last weekend! A simple escort display concept was brought to life in the most beautiful way. Swipe to the end to see the tortoise shell acrylic details that we were so excited to create for this beautiful couple. ✨

A little grandeur. A lot of drama.

At the National Museum of Women in the Arts, Toria & Travis’ celebration brought together deep jewel tones, sculptural florals, and dramatic scale, all designed to heighten the sense of theater within the museum’s iconic architecture.

T&T trusted us to push the design, embrace the unexpected, and create something entirely their own. Dream clients in every sense, and a celebration we won’t soon forget. ❤️

Letting the anticipation build as your guests carefully unpackage your wedding invitation. Layers, details, coordinating logos in gold foil… all intentional design elements to signal an event that’s been carefully planned, curated and refined.

Toria & Travis wanted to go bold for their wedding. We went all in.

Rich color, dramatic scale, sculptural florals, and details with a little edge. Layered, unexpected, and designed to keep the energy building all night long. The kind of night that never needed to play it safe. ✨

Presentation is everything, and that’s one of the reasons we have stopped mailing invitations with postage stamps. Instead, we have transitioned to custom mailers, which provide more flexibility with design than a standard envelope, and we are also able to ship them as parcels. This allows each and every invitation that leaves the studio to be tracked, and delivered within 2 to 4 days. Faster delivery means envelopes are not caught in the system for multiple weeks and generally arrive to guests in better condition than a mailed envelope. 

The best part is that the management and coordination of this process is included in our custom invitation design services!

A venue can offer some of the best design cues. For this celebration at The Willard, we wanted to nod to Peacock Alley without turning the peacock into an obvious theme. Instead, we treated it as a recurring detail: woven into the invitation artwork, carried onto the menus, and transformed into sculptural escort cards for the reception.

It became a quiet thread throughout the design—recognizable once you arrived at the venue, but subtle enough to feel considered rather than literal.

The best references don’t need to announce themselves. Sometimes they simply make the entire experience feel more connected.

The invitation suite may be where the project begins, but it’s rarely where our work ends.

Our team designs and produces the details that carry a wedding beyond the mailbox and into the celebration itself—from menus and signage to custom pieces like these matchboxes.

Some are playful. Some are polished. Some are deeply personal. But each is considered within the larger event, giving our clients one creative partner to think through the details, manage production and make sure everything feels intentional when it comes together.

Ten celebrations. Ten very different little boxes.

Custom design begins by establishing a visual language—one rooted in the couple, their story and the world we want the wedding to inhabit.

Anna’s time living in Japan became a personal point of departure for Anna & Kip, informing the delicate botanical references, refined palette and sense of restraint throughout the design.

From there, we thoughtfully evolved that language from piece to piece—and eventually, throughout the wedding itself. Rather than repeating the same design, each element carries the story forward in a different way.

The result feels layered and collected rather than overly coordinated. Completely cohesive, without ever becoming repetitive.

Event branding is so much more than a monogram. We approach it as the creation of a complete visual world—one with a distinct point of view, thoughtfully developed to reflect the couple, setting and experience. Through custom typography, illustration, monograms, pattern, color and materiality, we build a cohesive design language that can move seamlessly from the first impression through the final detail. The result is more than coordinated paper; it is a recognizable identity that gives the entire celebration a sense of place, personality and intention.
