Pretty in Stains

Pretty in Stains provides wedding stationery with a strong focus on thoughtful design and beautifully executed print. Each project begins with careful consideration of layout, typography and overall balance, before being brought to life through print in a way that feels cohesive, intentional and true to the couple it is created for.

The studio is drawn to wedding stationery where the design leads and the details feel calm rather than overworked. Clean layouts, considered type and carefully chosen papers form the foundation of the work and, while additional finishes can be explored, the emphasis remains on allowing the design and print quality to speak for themselves.

The approach to on-the-day stationery considers every element of the table and surrounding details – from florals and linens to place settings and other design elements – ensuring the stationery contributes meaningfully to the overall wedding aesthetic. This perspective allows paper goods to live in harmony with the wider celebration, feeling intentional.

Pretty in Stains offers both semi-custom and fully custom wedding stationery, including wedding invitations and on-the-day paper goods. The process is collaborative and considered, with guidance provided throughout to ensure each piece feels personal and cohesive within the wider look and feel of the celebration.

Based in Cape Town, Pretty in Stains works with couples across South Africa. Each project is approached with care and attention to detail, creating stationery that is quietly beautiful and designed to be treasured long after the day.
