Since I expanded Gray Star Design and focused the business more on event design and custom event stationary, it has been such a journey. I am in awe of the feedback I have received from brides and clients and thought it would be great to share these lovely words and thank you’s. So I’ve added a new page to my website – Share the Love – where they can all call home. I will be updating the page as I continue to work with more people.

I truly love what I do, and to know that others are happy with my work is really awesome. It means the world to me. So a big thank you to all you Gray Star Design fans out there, you rock!

I just wanted to share some of the newest items I now offer in my shop. I try to incorporate different styles into my designs so they can appeal to everyone so I hope these newbies are liked among many. Feel free to click on the images to view the item in my shop for purchase.

My Rustic Leaves Wedding Invitation Suite is the first square invite I designed. Although simple and clean, they have a rustic feel that is perfect for a nature inspired wedding. If you are planning a fall event, these would really be nice. It’s available in brown and gray.

My Modern Gray Flourish Wedding Invitation Suite is modern and classy. Perfect for any traditional style event or a wedding that is simply grand.

This super fancy and modern Deco Inspired Save the Date will certainly impress your guests and get them prepared for the event of the year. With a beautiful chandelier design on the front and decorative elements on the back, they bring a nice touch to your special day.

My new Creamy Damask Thank You Card is a pretty way to say thank to all your guests who shared thoughtful gifts. Perfect for a bridal shower and wedding. By using a flat card you also save trees. They also match my Creamy Damask Bridal Shower Invites.

Perfect for a garden wedding or rustic styled event, my new Vintage Rose Table Numbers would make a beautiful addition to your guests tables. Instead of numbers, they feature a different flower on each. Of course they can be customized to whatever you would like them to say but the unique touch of these nature lovelies will make everyone smile.
