At the heart of EquusArte, Inc. is the artistic vision and thoughtful hand of Julia Kelleher. Personally guiding each project from its earliest inspiration to the final impression on paper, Julia works with a select number of couples each year, allowing every detail the time, intention, and artistry it deserves.
Rooted in a lifelong connection to the equestrian world and a deep appreciation for the beauty of traditional craftsmanship, EquusArte brings together original artwork, thoughtfully curated archival elements, and time-honored printing techniques. Each piece is lovingly created in-house, by hand, using antique equipment and an unwavering attention to detail.
The result is more than beautiful stationery. It is a deeply personal expression of each couple's story—an heirloom in the making, rich with texture, meaning, and the unmistakable character of EquusArte.
Every beautiful beginning deserves a thoughtful approach. Once we receive your inquiry, we’ll arrange a personal consultation to explore your wedding vision, equestrian aesthetic, and the details that make your story uniquely yours.
From there, we’ll create a custom proposal for your wedding stationery, thoughtfully shaped by your inspiration, horses, the traditions you cherish, and the creative possibilities we discover together.
Once your proposal is approved, we begin the creative journey with two original artist sketches, each exploring a distinct direction for your wedding stationery. Inspired by the timeless elegance of equestrian heritage, these thoughtful studies allow us to refine the details, explore beautiful possibilities, and establish a cohesive design that carries seamlessly from your first invitation to the finishing touches of your wedding day.
With your creative direction established, we bring your wedding stationery to life through thoughtful design and collaboration. Each bespoke invitation suite includes three to five rounds of refinement, allowing every detail to find its perfect balance. From equestrian-inspired artwork to luxurious papers and timeless embellishments, realistic mockups help you envision each element as part of a beautiful, cohesive whole. Once approved, every detail is carefully proofread before your designs make their way to the press.
With your final approval, your wedding stationery moves into production, where artistry and time-honored craftsmanship come together. Rooted in equestrian heritage and a love for traditional printing, each bespoke invitation suite is brought to life with exceptional care on our antique equipment here in house.
As beautiful things take time, we allow a minimum of six to eight weeks for print production, ensuring every detail receives the attention it deserves.
The finishing touches deserve just as much care as the first impression. With our white-glove wedding invitation assembly and mailing services, each suite is thoughtfully assembled by hand, addressed with precision, and prepared for its journey to your guests. From the final flourish to the moment it arrives in the mailbox, every detail is handled with the same care and attention that defines EquusArte. Invitations are mailed through USPS, with upgraded tracking options available for added peace of mind.
