Whole Weddings has grown out of owner + graphic designer Kendra Meany’s love for art and nature. Based in rural Connecticut, the local landscape provides an endless source of inspiration. Our couples care as much about the environment as we do and are excited to give their guests unique stationery, that goes beyond just being lovely to look at but communicates with purpose and intention. We’re big believers that wedding stationery should be the marriage of style and sustainability. The core of our work utilizes handmade, plantable wildflower and herb seed paper. Through this material, we’re able to capture something that gets lost in traditional stationery. Instead of throwing the paper away, it’s able to get a second life in beautiful blooms. Offering a physical connection to the earth that seems to be lessening these days. Our approach to design is also a conscious one by eliminating the unnecessary and favoring the functional. #lesswastemorelove has become our rally cry. In pushing the stationery boundaries bit by bit we hope to influence wedding culture towards zero waste. To be a voice for weddings that support local economies, come together for causes fueled by love, embrace ethical values and work towards weddings that change the world. *Click on photo to learn more.

Papercraft Miracles is an eco-friendly handmade paper studio. We specialize in invitations, decorative papers, plantable seed bombs, bookbinding services. Each piece is handmade with love & a little bit of magic at our solar-powered studio in Buffalo, NY. Janna Willoughby-Lohr is the artist behind Papercraft Miracles. Based in Buffalo, NY Janna is a poet, an artist, and a musician, having written her first poem at the youthful age of 5. She attended Warren Wilson College in Swannanoa, NC, where she discovered the world of papermaking and bookbinding and was lucky enough to study under renowned book artist and author, Gwen Diehn. Janna created Papercraft Miracles in 2004, as a way to make a living creatively, with a dedication to the craft of paper & book arts. She is thrilled that her creations have become a part of so many special moments, from weddings, to graduations, to births. As so much of the world is becoming screen-based and digital, Janna feels a calling to preserve and promote the physicality of book and paper arts. She loves bright colors, giggling and things that are small.

What We Believe
We believe in simple designs that speak truth and bring joy. In a world that clamours to be busy, we believe less is more. That's why we favour simple cards and prints and use recycled and sustainable card and packaging.
Who We Are
We're a team of two who work together to bring you sustainable and simple stationary. Beth draws, paints, and designs, while Dan helps with the technical side. Both inspire the other and bring vision to the table.
Why We Do What We Do
We want people to have sustainable options that help the planet stay healthy. We want to provide cards for all ages and interests. And by finding 'just' the right card, we want the person who receives it to know it was made and chosen with love. We're a duo who believe in simple and playful designs paired with sustainability. Whether watercolour or ink, our designs seek to go beyond stereotypes and offer something for everyone. All our cards and envelopes are made from recycled card and paper and come as they are, free from any cellophane.

The handmade paper is made with post-consumer material, meaning that no new fibres were used in the production of the paper. And because when the paper itself is planted, it composts away leaving only wildflowers or herbs or vegetables and NO WASTE! A truly eco friendly product!
The recycled paper pulp is then embedded with wildflower, herb or vegetable seeds. When you plant the paper in a pot of soil or outside in the garden, the seeds in the paper geminate and grow into plants!
The wildflower seed paper contains a mix of wildflower seeds including Bird’s Eye, Clarkia, Black Eyed Susan, Sweet Alyssum, English Daisy, Catchfly, and Snapdragon. We also have a variety of herb seeds available as well as veggie seed papers. All the seeds are NON-GMO and tested and approved for planting in countries across the globe.
Are the seeds safe for planting?
Yes, all the seeds used in seed papers are tested for purity and are approved by the APHA for planting in many countries worldwide. Please do contact me if you require a phytosanitary certificate for shipping and customs.
Are the seeds you use in your seed paper NON-GMO?
Yes, the seed paper only contains seeds that areof the highest quality and germination. All the seeds we handle are NON-GMO (genetically modified organism).

OUR PHILOSOPHY
HOW IT BEGAN
Poppy and Thistle came about when a friend of mine was planning her wedding. I have always loved to draw and be creative. Whilst searching through many different wedding invite designs, I thought about two things. The first being; I’d love to design wedding invites and work with couples to get exactly what they want. The second of my thoughts was how much paper is used for wedding suites and then thrown away.
This is where inspiration came from, to create wedding invitations from recycled wildflower seed paper; a recycled paper with wildflower seeds embedded within it. Not only is the paper beautiful but it can be planted in soil to then grow in to wild flowers - what a wonderful memento for wedding guests to remember your big day by! Not only are the invites made from recycled wildflower seed paper, but all other paper we use is recycled paper, including the envelopes. We all know how important our planet is and that we need to do our bit to look after it. By using recycled paper we discourage the creation of new paper and the deforestation which damages our environment. We also encourage environments for bees and other wildlife to live in and feed from by growing these wildflowers from the wildflower seed paper invites.
So this is where the excitement and passion of Poppy and Thistle began. The research was initiated and the designs started being created. Initially I designed a few invitation suites as a set of ready to print designs. These can have alterations made to them on your request, such as; change of font, colour scheme, and paper. As the idea is to make your perfect invitation suite, I also offer a bespoke design service where we can work together to create exactly what you want, if you can’t find it amongst our pre-existing designs. Whether this may be a floral watercolour design with your favourite flowers in, or a pencil drawing depicting your most loved hobby, a sailing boat for example, I will endeavour to create a design that matches your vision.

If you'd like to put your own stamp of creativity into the paper, we offer unique and tailored workshops where you can create your own paper, or check out our online shop and purchase a Mould and Deckle Paper Making kit so you can make your own paper at home.
We have a range of papers that we make including seeded paper, card or letter writing stock, invitations, stationery, and cherished hand-bound note books and journals.
Inspired to share the love of paper making. When you prepare pulp for handmade paper, then add flowers, grasses, colour and raw cotton, you make hand made paper that is full of character, and so different from anything else, as each piece is never the same as the other…. once it is dried, it has a life of it’s own…
As we started in business by making our own handmade paper wedding invitations, that continues to be our main focus. We offer sheets that can be ordered one at a time or in bulk. Our single sheets sell for $12 each, they measure 18” x 24” and are often enhanced with flower seeds and petals. We have always been earth friendly (see our name
As we started in business by making our own handmade paper wedding invitations, that continues to be our main focus. We offer sheets that can be ordered one at a time or in bulk. Our single sheets sell for $12 each, they measure 18” x 24” and are often enhanced with flower seeds and petals. We have always been earth friendly (see our name) and none of our handmade papers contain tree fibers. We offer recycled options that include up to 100% fiber content. Even the first use fibers are eco-friendly and tree free as they are made with a waste product of the cotton seed oil industry.
Our many invitation designs are custom tailored by paper style, font, layout and size. Each component of every invitation can be ordered individually or as a group. If you like the idea of saving money but just don’t have the time, we will gladly send you a complete invitation package that includes; invitation, reply card, reception card, direction card and envelope ready to be stuffed and addressed at home. If you want to add matching thank you notes, programs and place cards, we have you covered!
Contemporary invitations allow for many options. Today's couples who choose to include directions with their invitation often combine a map, written directions and accommodation information all on one card. Etiquette directs you to make the invitation very simple which we encourage. This will save paper, reduce waste and cut down on costs! You will need a response card if you are having a catered event. Your caterer will need to have a final guest count within two weeks of your event. You can save trees/waste/money if you use the more casual postcard style response.

Plantable Seed Paper, apart from being bio-degradable, is 100% wood free and made up of waste cotton scraps making it extremely environment-friendly.
Plantables is a celebration of life, as each of its products contains living cells which will grow when you #SowSomeLove

hello petal was created soon after the birth of my daughter, Daisy. I was on a journey to find something that was just ‘mine’, to rediscover myself after becoming a Mother. Inspired by a love of wildflowers and slow, sustainable living; our venture came to life after discovering the idea of plantable paper. My soul was alight and I’d found my passion - to create slow, sustainable pieces for the heart and home that can be planted to then bloom into daisies.
I lovingly and sustainably handcraft each flowery piece in our cozy home on Bribie Island & it makes my heart so full to see my creations loved and treasured.
By supporting our journey, you are not only
choosing ethical and small, but also supporting my dream and buying a piece of heart. Thank you! I hope hello petal can inspire you to slow down, to dream & to do your small part in contributing to keeping earth beautiful.

That making art come to life in tangible ways is vital to our existence. We also believe in leaving the world better than we found it for future generations. It leaves us wondering; why can't we do both? When we choose to shop mindfully, we can change the world. Here's what we're doing to help bring sustainable change to the art of print:
Giving back
For every $5 you spend, we plant two trees in partnership with Eden Reforestation Projects, a non-profit organization that pays local workers fair wages to help re-grow native forests in countries like Haiti, Madagascar and Nepal.
Materials
All of our letterpress papers are made from cotton. Cotton is sustainable not only because it is a renewable resource, but because the paper pulp come directly from the textile industry, therefore creating no additional demand for cotton and keeping the fibers from seeing the landfill.
Our wildflower + herb seed papers are plantable and100% biodegradable.
Shipping
All of our shipping + packing products (boxes, mailers, tape, labels, product bags) are 100% biodegradable and use zero plastic

The Story of Sisterly Stationery - A Tale of Two Sisters
Welcome to Sisterly Stationery, a family run stationery business formed by sister duo Anna and Catherine and based in Nottinghamshire, England. Created out of a desire to provide graphical wedding stationery for the modern bride. Aside from sharing a unique bond that being a sibling brings, the sisters share a love of art, design and styling. Having both studied in Nottingham with Catherine holding a degree in Architecture and Anna in Product and Furniture Design, the sisters have an affinity for all things design.
This affinity translates into their fashion and interior styling choices and the sisters can often be found ‘twinning.’ When the sisters decided to join forces, they knew they wanted to blend this distinct style and create a collection of wedding stationery that truly resonated with the modern, style conscious bride.
The sisters believe in style, sustainability and simplicity and this is a mantra that stays true to the brand. Specialising in design and form, the sisterly style draws inspiration from organic shapes found in the natural world which are then translated into a distinct graphical style.
