ITALIAN ESCAPE

Almai Coast Reverie Stationery & Signage

A dreamy, coastal-inspired shoot that blended the romance of the Almai Coast with playful Italian details. Samera and Alessio’s signature suite featured a shoreline-inspired die cut, airy pastel tones, and whimsical accents drawn from the styled setting. A unique No. 10 vertical invitation with matching envelope was paired with detail, RSVP, and weekend schedule cards, each pulling design inspiration from the reception scene. The coastal motif carried into large-scale welcome and bar signage with a custom couple monogram cut-out, all designed in high-contrast, modern editorial typography. This editorial was proudly featured in California Wedding Day.

🦩 Flamingo fact: they lose their pink while raising their babies… and I felt that.

I didn’t realize how deeply I related to it until recently. Somewhere between motherhood and building this dream of a business, my color got quieter.

But this year? I’m taking it back.
Thirty-eight is my comeback color.
Bold. Bright. P!NK again. 💗

Want to celebrate with me on my birthday?
Peek at my new website or leave a sweet Google review. It truly means the world. 💕

New brand, new website, same heart. 💕

This year I celebrated my 100th client, marking a decade of partnering with couples, planners, and creative teams to bring beautiful celebrations to life. With this milestone came the perfect moment to rebuild my digital home from the ground up.

The new website reflects everything I value in my work:
• Trustworthy guidance
• Functional beauty
• Meaningful “it’s real” moments

I can’t wait for you to explore the refreshed Rachell Rae Designs online experience. Link in bio. ✨
