To capture your love story on paper,
so that you are remembered, forever.
Christa Alexandra Designs has been working closely with couples during defining moments of their life since 2009 — capturing who they are with heritage pieces to be passed down.
Meet Christa
OWNER • DESIGNER • PRINTER
Romanced by the renaissance-era of her mother’s German hometown, the Marie-Antoinette gardens of France, the rising crescendo of Italian midnight opera, and the dusty roads and sparkling seas of Spanish siesta, Christa fell in love with language, lineage and beautiful things during her summers abroad. She wanted to help others preserve the splendor of memories.
Inspired by the symmetry of old homes, the romance of vintage wallpapered rooms, and the gilded edges of antique books - Christa lends that eye for rarity to her work, helping clients to design the story of their wedding, to be shared with those they love the most.
Even a simple invitation has a great story to tell; it preserves your family names and marks a date forever. At Christa Alexandra Designs we go beyond those details, creating a cohesive look that marries the stationery and accompanying pieces to your very own beautiful brand. These are keepsake pieces designed to stand the test of time and echo the remarkable relationship it represents.
A Passion for
Perfect Craftsmanship
"True luxury comes from a blend of passion, prestige and perfection"
Pursuing a background in graphic design, Christa immersed herself in letterpress printing a decade ago. Disenchanted by the industry cutting corners, she invested in her very own vintage cast iron letterpress. Through the love and labor of letterpress printing she discovered that deep-set belief; that true luxury comes from a blend of passion, prestige and perfection. To us, paper holds so much more than simple written words. It holds memories and meaning, delight and decadence, visions and stories. From law to folklore, freedom to finery, history and heritage – paper is a medium through which we can live forever.
A natural affinity for the weight of paper, an adoration of antiquity and art, a belief that delight is in the details, and a pure unbound passion for printing. All these touchstones have made Christa Alexandra one of the leading boutique brands in custom design and luxury heirloom wedding invitations. Like the artisans of old, every inch of our stationery is handprinted and carefully assembled, turning each piece of paper into a handheld work of art. A heritage piece to be passed down.
Serving Both
Town and Country
Accepting only a small number of very special clients, Christa Alexandra Designs is coveted countrywide. Based in the green mountains of Vermont, the iconic skylines of New York and the harbors of Boston, we blend the best of all worlds.
The team chose to set up shop in an 1830’s antique general store that Christa purchased and is restoring – a place where memories rustle behind the red brick walls. The Brick Store can be found in Vermont; a destination of sweet summers and slumbering winters beside the fire. A place where small stunning moments are treasured; a snort of aged oak whiskey, a walk in the wildflowers, and the serenity of milky starlit nights.
While the bricks and mortar may be in Vermont, most of Christa’s clients are based in New York and Boston and she schedules meetings in the city at their request. Christa adores the change of pace; the rhythm of crowded restaurants, the crack of champagne, and the lilt of different languages all beneath the glittering lights.
