MEET YOUR DESIGNER

JULIA CASOLO

I’m Julia, the designer and artist behind Julia Kay Design. I’m a wife, rescue dog mom, former Division I swimmer, and someone who has never been particularly interested in keeping things beige.


I’m happiest with fresh-cut flowers on the table, a new recipe on the stove, and plans for a weekend trip on the calendar. I love an intense HIIT workout in a 115 degree room, walks with my husband and dogs, tiny things made even tinier, fake food that serves absolutely no practical purpose, and a home filled with color, pattern, and pieces that make you smile. Case in point: there is a giant hot dog bench in my apartment. I’m also a huge hockey fan - let's go pens!!!


My love languages are quality time and acts of service, which probably explains a lot about the way I approach both life and design. I notice the little things. I like making people feel cared for. And I believe the details that feel personal are usually the ones that matter most.

No two couples have the exact same story, traditions, favorite places, inside jokes, families, or idea of what a celebration should look like.

THAT'S MY FAVORITE PART OF THIS WORK.

Julia Kay Design started much smaller than the studio it is today, with a love of art, paper, and creating something meaningful by hand. Over the years, it has grown into a stationery studio centered around thoughtful, artful wedding paper and the couples whose stories inspire it.

Wedding stationery gives us a place to capture those things. Sometimes it’s through a hand-painted venue, an unexpected color palette, a tiny illustration with a story behind it, or a detail guests may not fully understand but the couple absolutely does.

I get to take all of those little pieces and turn them into something tangible. Something that introduces your wedding before your guests ever arrive and, years later, brings you right back to it.

YOUR STORY IS THE GOOD PART

I don’t believe your wedding stationery should feel like it could belong to anyone else. The most interesting designs come from the details that are distinctly yours: a place you love, a flower with meaning behind it, an unexpected color combination, a family tradition, or even an inside joke that only a handful of people will understand.

My approach to design is thoughtful, curious, and never tied to a formula. I love beautiful paper, interesting shapes, layers, color, illustration, and all the tiny details, but they’re always better when there’s a reason behind them.

Because the goal isn’t simply to make something beautiful. It’s to create something that tells a little piece of your story before the wedding even begins.
