Chicago Wedding Invitation designer

Bringing you warmth and love while creating timeless wedding invitations that set the tone for your wedding day.

serving couples in Chicago, Chicago suburbs, and nationwide

A refined wedding invitation design experience for you.

When working with me as your wedding invitation designer, you receive a stress-free experience from a professional wedding stationer guiding you through the design experience of mood boards, sketches, color palettes, and digital mockups to create the perfect timeless wedding invitations and stationery full of your personality. Plus, you get to tap into my extensive knowledge of papers, print methods, the US Post Office, and all things related to wedding stationery.

Confused about your wedding invitation wording? No worries, you have an etiquette and wording expert at your service. I pair your wedding day details with formal etiquette to create the perfect wedding invitation wording for you to approve — all before we begin the fun of designing.

Relax, light some candles, crack open your favorite bottle of wine and enjoy this special time of being engaged. You have a wedding stationery professional handling every detail for you.

Need a wine recommendation? Bonanza Cabernet Sauvignon is often poured in my glass for its dark chocolate, vanilla, and sweet ripe berry notes with a touch of smokiness.

Nicole has been the absolute BEST to work with! She was so friendly and helpful during the process.

If you're Nicole, who is Emery Ann?

Well, it’s more of a feeling. Emery Ann is a nod to my grandparents, Dwight Emery and Patricia Ann, who always made people feel warm and welcomed. As hosts for events, holidays and just day to day, they spent their 55 years of marriage making friends, family and everyone feel extra special through their warmth and love.

I bring that same feeling of love to you and your guests through the design of beautiful wedding paper goods.

Nicole creates beautiful work AND is the best to work with!

Nicole at Emery Ann Design is incredible- and even that is an understatement! She laid out all the options and really got to know us and created the perfect letter pressed wedding invitations.

We loved them so much we decided to have Nicole create all of our day of stationery- from ceremony programs to escort boards, to welcome signs, menu place cards, fun signs for the reception, sparkler tags and thank you cards.

Not only does she create beautiful work, she is the best to work with! From answering a million questions (extremely fast), to creating extra menu cards for us the day before the wedding, and every step in between. Nicole rocks!!

Emery Ann Design is amazing!! Our custom wedding invitations were absolutely gorgeous & Nicole knew just how to create something even better than I could’ve ever imagined!! Our guests really enjoyed the beautiful details she added. The personalized wedding signs & guest book will be such a nice touch to our special day. Nicole was so easy to work with and accommodating, especially during the uncertainty due to the coronavirus!! I would highly recommend & I look forward to working with her in the future!!
