I can’t recommend Alexandria enough! She made the entire process so easy and enjoyable from start to finish. I didn’t come in with a clear vision of what I wanted, but she was able...
to take my ideas and create something absolutely beautiful that exceeded my expectations. She was incredibly patient, creative, and easy to communicate with throughout the process. I’m so grateful for her talent and guidance and couldn’t be happier with how our invitations turned out.
I cannot say enough wonderful things about Alex! From the very beginning, she was so easy to work with, incredibly kind, and completely understanding of our vision. She was patient...
throughout the entire process and made everything feel so seamless and stress-free.
Our wedding invitations came out absolutely beautiful and were even better than I could have imagined. Alex truly brought our vision to life and paid attention to all of the little details that made them feel so personal and special to us. She was also extremely reasonable and made the whole experience feel comfortable and worthwhile.
If you’re looking for someone who is talented, accommodating, and genuinely cares about making your vision come to life, I highly recommend Alex! We are so grateful to her for helping make such an important part of our wedding so beautiful. 🤍

oughout the designing process she was so patient, supportive and really captured our dream! I could feel her passion when speaking with her and saw how much love went into creating our perfect invitations when I opened the box! I could not recommend Maple and Ember enough and will be using her again!
Working with Maple and Ember on our wedding invitations was truly one of my favorite parts of the entire wedding planning process. We worked together for months perfecting every si...
ngle detail, and from the very beginning, they took the time to understand my vision and how I wanted our guests to feel when they received their invitations. Nothing felt rushed or cookie cutter. It was a true creative process, and they were incredibly patient as we went back and forth on colors, materials, wording, artwork, and all of the little details that ultimately made the suite feel completely ours.
Our wedding was in Cabo San Lucas, and I wanted the invitations to give our guests their first glimpse into the experience we were creating. We went for an elegant, timeless and elevated feel with sea green, white and gold details, and Maple and Ember absolutely brought that vision to life. From the beautiful linen presentation boxes and custom venue watercolor to the sea green ribbon, vellum details, personalized leather luggage tags and stunning 14 karat gold foil invitations, every piece felt intentional and luxurious.
What I appreciated most was how collaborative the entire experience was. I am extremely detail oriented, especially when it came to our wedding, and they never made me feel like any request or adjustment was too much. We spent months refining everything until it was exactly right. They listened to my ideas, offered their expertise and helped turn everything I had imagined into something even more beautiful than I had pictured.
When the finished invitations arrived, I was honestly blown away. The craftsmanship and quality were incredible. Opening each box felt like opening a gift, which was exactly the experience I wanted for our guests. We received so many compliments from friends and family, and people were genuinely amazed by how beautiful and unique the invitations were.
More than anything, these weren’t just invitations to us. They became part of our wedding story and something we will keep forever. They set the tone for our entire Cabo wedding months before everyone arrived and made the countdown to June 24 feel even more special.
I am so grateful to Maple and Ember for the time, creativity, patience and care they put into our invitation suite. After working so closely together for months, seeing everything come together was incredibly special. If you are looking for wedding stationery that feels personal, elevated and completely unique to you, I cannot recommend Maple and Ember enough. They truly helped create one of my favorite keepsakes from our wedding. Five stars does not feel like enough! 🤍

t Alexandria responded so quickly. We were able to get everything set up the same day I contacted her. She was then able to make a draft of the invitations. I also had some changes to make during this stage and every time I sent an email she would respond so quickly. After only a few days she was able to crate a draft and we had the contract signed the same day. The invitations were done earlier than expected. They came out perfect. Every detail from the invitation, to the rsvp card, and room block card was amazing. The bellyband which included a picture of the venue looked so nice. The nigh before invitation was also perfect. I would definitely use maple and ember in the future.

e so, since I had a hand in creating every part of the beautiful invitation. She translated our vision to life, and fast. My favorite part of the invitation is that she created a recreation of my bouquet on it — a small detail only I will know, but still meaningful! AND she was patient with all my small tweaks and my quest for the perfect font. She was also extremely accommodating of our budget and we were able to work together to make something that worked for us. Overall, Alexandria couldn't have been more gracious, responsive, talented and delightful to work with. I am going to treasure these invitations.

All I have to say is wow! First of all, not only were the invitations beautiful, the quality of the materials were superb. I originally wanted something different, and was weary of...
going through websites with the fear there wasn’t a “person” behind my design. Our wedding had so many parts of the invite (five pieces!) and such a specific addressee list (italian addresses) and Alex was so accommodating with all of it! I also wanted a certain color combo and instead of just ordering material, Alex was honest and told me it wouldn’t pop as much as I’d like and offered options that looked SO much better! You can tell she has a knack for color and design, and that is something I cannot get from a mainstream website. The invitations were just so beautiful I have no words! The communication was key-she answered emails and texts in a timely manner, her pricing was the best I’d seen across the board, and she was a pleasure to work with. Absolutely 100000000% recommend and I will be using her for any future events for sure!
