Modern Maddona Inn Valentine Stationery

Rachel and Austin’s Valentine’s Day elopement was as vibrant and iconic as its San Luis Obispo, California setting. The save-the-dates highlighted the famous Fremont Theater with a digitally traced illustration and custom typography mimicking the venue’s marquee, celebrating its vintage charm. A playful palette of cotton candy pink and garnet red brought bold contrast, while arch-shaped invitations, oval detail cards, and a watercolor floral envelope liner added modern romance. Their ceremony at the iconic Madonna Inn, complete with a bespoke pink bridal gown and stylish, functional bridal shoes, reflected a love story infused with fun, color, and personality.

Hi, I’m Rachell!
Design isn’t just what I do; it’s how I care for people.

My name, with two Ls and no E, carries family stories: Rachell honors my mom’s high school best friend, a fearless creator, and Rae is a middle name shared by six generations of strong women. That legacy is now carried by my firstborn daughter, Rae Cierra.

I live on California’s Central Coast in San Luis Obispo with my husband, our two daughters Rae and Isla, and our two cats, Princess Rainbow Porcsha and Prince Feirro. I’m a Type A creative who loves wine, a good Gin and Tonic, and a chai latte with a double espresso shot. I bring that same care and energy to every piece I design.

DM me: share your wedding details and I’ll reply with next steps.
