We should probably get this out of the way first: I may be the only person in California who does not like avocados. Nope, not even guacamole, but thanks for trying. If it helps, I do love potatoes in any form. Give me all the tots, fries, and mash, please. 

Speaking of potatoes, my Corgi, Mister Sir Alfred Corg-nelious, is the official Chief Happiness Officer at Beach City Creative. You might see him wandering around during our Zoom meetings, and he puts his paw of approval on everything created. If you love dogs, he’d love to meet you!

How this started: Once upon a time, I was the person in college who had Photoshop. Between Greek Life and athletics (and my classes), I was always designing whatever was needed. It was a great creative outlet - it made me happy, and it made other people happy! When I started creating wedding stationery, it combined all the best things, making people happy and creating a truly personalized invitation that they could keep forever.

The design process with me is simple: we work together until it’s perfect. 

Even if you’re not a stationery geek like me who cannot stop buying markers and pens and paper and notebooks (seriously, it’s a problem), I can’t wait for you to see your custom design come to life. When you put those invitations in the mail, I want you to feel like you're sending out a tiny piece of art that perfectly captures the essence of your wedding day.

I believe in working together collaboratively. I believe love is love, science is real, and a ranch dressing is always better from a restaurant. I would love to meet you and see if we are a good fit to work together on your wedding stationery!

Ashley is amazing! She was very easy to work with and communicative during our wedding planning process.

We loved all the pieces she designed for us!

- Brooke and Tate

Ashley was so prompt and thoughtful through the design process. We can't say enough about how much she elevated our wedding! Guests told us they knew it would be an amazing event based on how impressive the invitations were!

- Ben and Tito

We met Ashley at the San Diego Bridal Bazaar and really liked the variety of invitations we saw. The ability to make unlimited revisions helped us tremendously to see what fit best for our nautical wedding. 

We really wanted to incorporate our dogs and Ashley made sure the pups could steal the spotlight (in a good way)!

- Erica and Isaac

Thank you so much Ashley! You are definitely the best wedding vendor that we booked, hands down!

- Emily and Sean

Everything was absolutely beautiful. Ashley was amazing and patient with all the edits I wanted. Process takes about 2 weeks once final proofs are submitted. Ashley worked quick and the pieces were great quality. She did last minute signage for me as well which came out exactly as we needed. Highly recommend if you're looking for elevated, standout stationary.
