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!

every letter takes effort in calligraphy, especially when I am changing up from my typical script to either a more formal or more modern calligraphy. I so often refer back to what’s natural to me 😆 gotta train my brain to slow down, think through every letter and then just flow... what’s something in your life that doesn’t always come naturally but creates something beautiful when you put the effort in? 📸: @stefaniebendt
