Vendor Highlight: Gayle O'Donnell of Paper Passionista

What is your name and company?
Gayle O’Donnell  of Paper Passionista
Seattle, WA     
206.909.9567
info@paperpassionista.com 
Hours are by appointment only.

What inspired you to start your business?
I operated a retail store for wedding invitations and accessories for 10 years, but over time it became clear the traditional retail store model wasn’t adequately serving the needs of busy professionals. They needed something more flexible to work with their schedule and location needs.  I decided that creating a mobile model for Invitations & Stationery would help meet the needs of people requiring convenience, or in some cases privacy and anonymity to accomplish their wedding shopping needs. From this identified need Paper Passionista was born!  I go to the client where and when they find it most convenient to meet, with no set business hours or location.  We go anywhere within King, Pierce or Snohomish County.

What sets you apart from other vendors in your field?
We are the first exclusively mobile Invitations and Stationery service in the Greater Seattle area.  There is no other stationer providing the same level of convenience and accommodation, while maintaining a large selection and professional expertise to meet the needs of those seeking the perfect wedding stationery ensemble, while appreciating quality products and design. 

What's your style?
We provide friendly, professional, and patient guidance in selecting the perfect invitation ensemble and coordinates without pressure.  You will receive top quality product combined with proper wording, assistance with etiquette, and the best designs. 

What is the main thing that makes you unique?
Our years of experience, not only with invitations and stationery, but from having spent many years as a full service wedding planner prior to becoming a wedding stationery retailer.  We know what it takes to make sure you have a well coordinated wedding, and how your stationery ensemble ties in with the rest of your carefully laid plans.  If you’re having difficulties finding the right vendors for any part of your wedding we have the knowledge and wedding vendor relationships to make sure you are put in touch with other excellent professionals to help you. 

What is your greatest strength?
Having a strong knowledge of the different designs available within our lines so when someone describes what they’re looking for we are able to quickly narrow the selection to only what’s appropriate for your individual needs.  This shortens the amount of time it takes for you to find your ideal invitation and other stationery items.  We won’t waste your time! 

What are you most proud of?
The number of former clients who have become permanent friends. We truly care about our clients, not just for their stationery needs, but for their lives in general.  We are also proud of how the majority of our clients come from direct referrals from those who have worked with us in the past.

Evening Passion at DeLille Cellars with Jacky Grotle of Event Success

Nestled along a hillside, DeLille Cellars is located on a private ten-acre estate that overlooks the Sammamish Valley in Woodinville’s wine country. The Chateau offers an atmosphere of rural French countryside elegance that event planner, Jacky Grotle of Event Success, embraced during Weddings in Woodinville with her use of traditional French wedding ceremony colors like royal blues, purples, reds and rich, romantic elements, such as including a string quartet playing classic French music.  

Here are a few highlights taken by April Greer Studio of the event:

Une belle maison!  A beautiful house!  Lux seating by Aria Style adds to the elegance and richness of a ceremony by the fire.
