When it comes to local stationers, it's no secret that Kelsey of Lairsey Paper Co. tops the list for us. From her signature breezy hand-lettering style to her semi-custom collections, LPC is a go-to for calligraphy and event paper needs. A member of our own team on and off for years, we know very intimately how much care and love Kelsey puts into her work. She makes the process easy for her clients, has a pulse on the trends, and is always game to add personalized touches to all she does. We asked her to delve into the secrets behind customization, color trends, and how to be eco-friendly, and this is what she delivered:

Creative Interview | Ginger Rose

It's no secret that we've always been in awe of our floral-arranging friends, and Alyssa Ice of Ginger Rose is no exception. This botanical beauty is a triple threat: floral designer, shop gal, and mama to her sweet little girl. We have asked Alyssa to dish some advice on trends, big floral moments, texture, and neutrals.

Creative Interview | Bold Catering

If you're even thinking about catering an event in Atlanta, you'll hear Bold all day every day. One of our top and most trusted companies, Bold is more than just a caterer—they are a brand and an experience. From impeccable service to delightful desserts to exciting culinary selections, we trust this company to feed our clients and their most distinguished guests. We asked Michelle to weigh in on family-style vs. stations, late-night snacks, dessert displays, and more!

Creative Interview | Mayker

Interiors and events have long collided as two creative industries that come together that make magic, and as the purveyor of all the pretty details, when a company comes along that has its foot in both worlds, we're immediately smitten. We're talking about one of the chicest rental companies the Southeast has to offer—Mayker. From transitional to contemporary, traditional to modern, their selection of pieces spans a variety of styles. We had a quick chat with Noelle Powell, our favorite collaborator on all things lounge and furnishings, to ask about trends, style, and the power of a really good chair.
