Your Local Wedding Stationery Designer
Peter Mahar Photography
Welcome! I’m Michelle Roberts, the artist and stationery designer behind Fior Design Studio in Portland, OR.
I’m a graphic designer and watercolor artist with over 10 years of experience working with creative agencies throughout the Minneapolis, MN and Portland, OR metro area. And that’s why I decided to combine my skills, experience, and passion to become a full-time wedding stationery designer. I help you navigate your timeline while designing paper goods that feel intentional, personal, and beautifully cohesive.
After designing and printing all of the stationery for my own wedding in 2018, I realized this wasn’t just a one-time project — it was the start of something I truly love. Today, I work closely with couples who value art, detail, and ease, helping them carry a vision through every printed touchpoint of their wedding day so nothing feels rushed, forgotten, or out of place.
Booking a Stationery Designer
When you book a stationery designer plays a big role in how smooth (and enjoyable) your experience feels. I recommend reserving your spot 6–12 months before your wedding date to ensure availability, especially for custom watercolor work. We typically begin your invitations around 18–20 weeks out, followed by day-of paper goods and signage at about 12–14 weeks out.
Invitations are mailed around the 10-12 week mark, with final signage edits wrapping up three weeks before your big day. And if the idea of addressing envelopes, buying stamps, or making a trip to the post office sounds like one more thing you don’t want to juggle, I offer a full-service option that takes care of all of that for you — so you can relax knowing your invitations are handled from start to finish.
Pricing
Fior Design Studio packages range from $4,800 up to $11,950 with the average investment at $7,000 for a full watercolor wedding package including invitations, day-of paper & signage, easel rentals, and setup on the day-of. However, every wedding is unique, please contact me to receive your custom quote!

Wedding Stationery Designer Process
First, pick a theme for your wedding. Next, let the stress melt away by having Fior Design Studio’s stationery designer carry that style throughout all of your printed materials.
Love greenery? Abstract watercolor art? Bird watching? Fior Design Studio will take care of matching everything to your special theme—from your invitations and signage, to name cards, menus, and more. SO much to think about, right? Fior is here to ask all the right questions and help keep everything organized for you.
Proposal
Reach out to me via the contact page to see if we are a good fit. Next, I will send you a custom proposal based on your wedding size & items requested.
2. Deposit
Next, you and your partner decide if you want to modify anything on your proposal before we begin. A 25% non-refundable deposit and a signed agreement are required to begin work.
3. Work
Next, we schedule our first meeting and you will receive a form to fill out where you can tell me all about your wedding style and upload photos of your venue, flowers, dresses, etc. This will help me determine the design direction for your wedding goods.
4. Choose!
Last, but not least, you will need to choose your favorite design from the multiple custom options I send to you. After any requested changes, I will move everything into production for handoff/delivery. I recommend mailing 10-12 weeks from your wedding date, with 3 weeks prior to your date being the final cutoff for your signage.
