I never realized how much I cared about stationary till I started working with Heidi! As a designer myself, I was very particular about what I wanted and at times felt I was being a bit overbearing. But Heidi never made me feel like it was an issue. She listened to my requests and made sure we were sticking to our timeline. Our correspondence was super professional and her responses were always timely. Her suggestion to use embossed holographic foil was 100% worth splurging a little. It was exactly what I wanted to convey as a teaser of what our wedding would be to our guests. I wish we had a larger budget to do more elaborate escort cards, but Heidi's suggestion to color code the printed text based on everyone's dinner choice was brilliant!

We went to Celebrations in Paper on the recommendation of our wedding planner and we cannot say…read moreenough great things about Rene and her team. We used their services for our custom wedding invitation, welcome bags, ceremony programs, place cards, menus, day-of signage and seating chart. Upon our first meeting, we instantly fell in love with her style, eye for detail and devotion to her projects. Rene worked with us to produce a beautiful invitation suite and our guests were taken aback by the elegant touch she added to our wedding day. We had guests who thought her work was so beautiful that they didn't want to open the invitation for fear that they would damage it and we are still having people tell us how gorgeous our invitation is several months after the wedding. Rene walked us through the process smoothly and professionally, designing some themes that tied the wedding together with our color palette and floral design. She communicated with us in a timely fashion and was very patient and helpful in getting things just right, even when extra drafts were required. She combines talent and professionalism with warmth and a personal touch. We cannot thank her enough for all of her hard work and highly recommend Celebrations in Paper for any and all of your paper needs!

WOW! I couldn't say better things about Rene and her business.

She made what I thought was impossible, possible today - even with a tight timeline and specific requirements.

I would 100% recommend her business and I will be sure to use her for personal or work matters moving forward. Thank you Rene.

We were in town for my brother's ASU graduation, which happened to fall on Mother's Day weekend. I was searching for Mother's Day activities that didn't involve food (so much of the graduation festivities were ALL about food), and I came across Light + Bark. I decided to book a candle pouring reservation for our group of seven, and was grateful they still had availability on such a busy weekend. I've done candle pouring before, and it's been more of a private experience, where we had the space to ourselves. Light + Bark has a bit different of a layout ... the candle pouring takes place right in the middle of the shop, and felt a bit crowded at times for a larger group like ours. Even still, the instructors made us feel welcome, and encouraged us as we selected our scents! They even had free mimosas for Mother's Day, which was such a thoughtful touch to make moms feel special. The scent selection is expansive, and we especially loved the desert-themed collection. We felt the pricing was fair for the experience as well ... it's $38 for a small vessel, $48 for a medium vessel, and $58 for a large vessel. We ended up getting really into the scent mixing process, and had a great time smelling everyone's final products! The candles take two hours to set, and then you can pick them up at your convenience during regular shop hours. I'd definitely recommend this experience to anyone looking for a unique way to celebrate, and you could absolutely pair your experience with brunch reservations elsewhere in Old Town.

I was just standing around my first time in with a canvas in hand and stretcher bars that I didn't know how to use.

My bouquet was small, only 4 large flowers with some baby breath and greenery. I was told by the owner that the flowers would be easy to work with and that she would make sure that the design was nice. At first I was thrilled with my flowers but the more I think about it, the more unhappy I get. First, communication was awful. Weeks went by without hearing from the owner. I knew that it took time to freeze dry the flowers but I didn't expect it to take 4 months. At that point, I just wanted to pick up my flowers. My daughter's arrangement is nice and we're happy with it. My bouquet is spread out and does not look as professional as the many other displays I see from this shop. I think the part that bothers me to most is that I paid almost $820 for the displays and cheap frame. This makes me sad because I am a very sentimental person and my bouquet was hand made by my best friend the morning of my wedding. I've waited to post a review because I didn't know if I was being unreasonable but after seeing many other displays that look like more time and care were put into them, I feel like something needed to be said.
