Golden Hour Paper Calligraphy and Custom Wedding Invitation Design

fine art design for the modern sophisticated bride

Custom wedding invitation design & calligraphy for life's most important celebrations

Golden Hour Paper was founded on the idea that beautiful paper and wedding invitations can make a huge impact.

My name is Madeline Kelly and I am the owner and head designer here at Golden Hour Paper! I work from home outside of Portland, Oregon where I live with my husband, Jeff, and our cat, Kevin, named after the bird in Up...

I fell in love with calligraphy and design at a young age and am thrilled that I get to work with amazing couples and create beautiful paper goods that truly represent them as a couple. Not only that but beautiful invitations also make a lasting first impression on their friends and family...

Take a look around my website or send me a note to hear more about what we could create together! I can't wait to hear about your design dreams and how I can help make them a reality!

Located in Portland, Oregon...shipping worldwide

From save the dates, to invitation suites, calligraphy envelope addressing, vintage postage, and day-of design we can't wait to hear from you!

I’m headed back to this beautiful place mid-July for a 7 day backpacking trip. No shower, no deodorant, no normal bathrooms 🙈 pray for us!!! But really, one of my biggest passions is high school students and sharing Jesus with them through Young Life! I’ll be headed here with 4 girls to hike A LOT and make some serious memories! I’m sure I’ll be sharing stories from it for years...what’s one of the craziest things you’ve ever done?!
I just ordered vintage postage for an upcoming suite...not these ones but a beautiful mix of browns, pinks, purples and oranges 🙌🏼 honestly sometimes when I get a moodboard or inspiration for vintage postage I get a little worried because it doesn’t feel like I’ll ever be able to find something. Then out a nowhere a beautiful set comes together! Hoping I remember to photograph them in the midst of wedding season craziness 🙈💫
More lovely letters coming together to write words of love.
Yesterday was a dream...and then the sunset decided to put on a show and reflect so beautifully on @monetvineyards gorgeous windows! Can’t wait to share with you more from this shoot! Feeling inspired after a great day with some amazing Portland wedding vendors 💕 @monetvineyards @estherlouisephotography @gather_event_planning @gatherevents @whitepepperpdx @vintagemeetsmodern @hilaryhorvathflowers @partyplacepdx @kirstiewightmua @aandbe_portland
