ABOUT
2009
What were we thinking? Well, we're still not really sure, but we know it was the best (and craziest) decision we ever made.
Once upon a time, while working together in "The Corporate World" we decided to be adventurous and quit our 'real' jobs. With no money and no business plan, we decided to open a teeny-tiny graphic design business in the Village of Fishkill, with absolutely no idea how to run one.
2020
After a successful decade of design & printing, we said "it's been a while since we did something crazy, so let's sell retail too." So Graphic Nature 'a creative shop' was born. We found the perfect storefront just down the street and expanded our business...all during a global pandemic! See? No plan again.
We are as 'small business' as it gets. Sometimes our kids are here making a mess while we're designing away. Sometimes we have to run out the door to pick up a kid or mail a client's invites to California. Sometimes you'll see us after hours obsessing over new retail inventory with a beer in our hands.
Our customers will never have to wonder who they are working with and where it's coming from. It's just us. When you call - you get us. When you come in - you get us. Designing, printing, assembling, billing, sweating, lugging boxes...all us, and we couldn't be happier doing it all.
We're 2 gals in 1 shop trying to do ALL the things.

we know weddings
Not to say we're experts, but...
We kind of are. After specializing in wedding stationery for almost 15 years, we have literally seen and done it all.
Sure you can sift through templates online or pick out of an old dusty book, but why, when we know weddings.

Of course you're not experienced in wedding stationery, but we are. We are real people with real advice. We know the answers to your questions. We know all the current trends and stats. What's the proper etiquette? How to address your envelopes? How to word your 'unique' family situation? How far in advance everything should be mailed? We know weddings.
you set the date. we set the tone.
Your invitations are your guests' first glimpse into your wedding. They should match your personal style, reflect you as a couple and set the tone for your big day. EVERYTHING we do, for EVERY client is 100% custom. With every client, we start with a blank slate and end with a piece that is truly one-of-a-kind. Why waste time and energy searching for the 'perfect' invitation when we will just create it for you. Wedding planning is stressful enough, let us check one thing off your list.
