We Are an Invitation & Design Studio
Creativity thrives beyond the studio. Since our founding in 2003, we’ve been passionate about fine papers and elegant typography, with our true inspiration often comes from the world around us. Our design team seeks beauty in unexpected places—whether it’s the intricate patterns found in nature, the textures of a luxury fabric, or the timeless elegance of high fashion.

THE TEAM
CHRISTINE
Lead Designer
Christine Schuller has been creating unique designs for LBDP couples for over 15 years. She really enjoy meeting new people, getting to know their love story and designing a wedding suite that really tells the story of who they are as a couple. Her favorites are the jobs when she gets to work with the couple each step of the way – from Save the Date to Day of Goddies – and really create a custom "brand" for their wedding. She is often inspired by fashion and music and pull from both when concepting new ideas.
PEGGY
Director of Creative Operations
Since 2015, Peggy Nicolle has had the joy of designing wedding invitations that bring couples’ love stories to life. She finds creative inspiration in the small details of architecture, interior design, and her favorite films. When she’s not designing, you'll probably find her at the cinema or out walking with her wife and their dog, Bowie.
EMILY
Designer
Since joining in 2024, Emily Tricker brought a unique perspective to designing wedding invitations, drawing inspiration from the natural beauty of her countryside upbringing and the cultural experiences that have shaped her. Her designs are deeply influenced by organic elements and storytelling, aiming to evoke emotion and connection.
