Brittany the Bride, March 2004
Eiffel Printing and Design is the brainchild of Brittany Hermansen, a bride whose wedding withdrawal drove her to start a business in which she could participate in other people's weddings!
I enjoyed every aspect of planning my wedding, but none more that making my save-the-dates, invitations, programs and all the other fun paper items. When I started looking for invitations, I was dismayed to find out that custom and affordable seemed to be mutually exclusive! Going the DIY route ended up being the best thing for me, as I was able to create beautiful and personal invitations that reflected my tastes, as well as my groom's, and avoid breaking the bank.
Little did I know that this would be the start of a fantastic creative journey. I was truly surprised by the number of compliments I recieved on our invitations and other wedding-related paper items. I felt like I had finally found my true creative calling, and started out in my tiny apartment, doing small jobs for friends. Within two months I was charging money and had a great website up to show my wares.
Here I am, 5.5 years later, and over 300 happy clients! I'm so grateful to be a part of so many couple's Big Days. I feel there's a little part of me at each wedding!
