Cristina Re Paper Style
Cristina Re, one of Australia’s leading stationery designers, launches Paper Style – a comprehensive step-by-step guide to
do-it-yourself wedding stationery.
Paper Style is a gorgeous, hard cover book that provides any bride with the ultimate ‘how to’ tools, tips and
guidelines to creating their own wedding stationery. From complete novices through to experienced card-makers,
Cristina’s DIY stationery range allows brides to coordinate their entire wedding – from invitations to table settings, thank you
cards to bomboniere gifts.
As the founder and creative force behind her eponymous range of DIY stationery Cristina’s love for design, craft and beautiful
objects began at a young age. After studying design and photography, Cristina worked at a wedding and portrait studio before
opening her own studio in 1995. It was here she combined her photographic skills with illustration and design, and began
tailoring unique wedding packages for her clients. By customising the couple’s stationery from the invitations through to the
wedding album, Cristina discovered a niche in the marketplace for quality
designer invitations and supporting stationery items.
Today the Cristina Re DIY range of over 300 top-quality products includes
paper, envelopes, wallets, metallic seals, lace adhesive tape plus all the tools
and accessories required to create unique stationery items. Over the past few
years, Cristina Re has expanded the range to include home office solutions,
scrap booking products and a diffusion line called ‘Paper Chic by Cristina Re’.
Paper Style is the culmination of Cristina’s love of creating gorgeous
wedding stationery and providing her clients with the DIY steps to create
their own precious memories of their big day …
“I wanted to bring together all my elegant, gorgeous and romantic wedding
stationery ideas and creations into one easy to read guide book. Paper Style is
an extension of my DIY product range and practical workshops for brides,” comments Cristina.
With a practical and engaging format, Paper Style is arranged in chapters by colour, as this is one of the first decisions a bride
makes when turning her dream wedding into a reality. From traditional ‘Pretty Pinks’ and ‘Blissful Blues’ through to modern
hues such as ‘Natural Nudes’ and ‘Bold Blacks’, brides can set the tone and mood for their wedding day with stationery that truly
reflects their personality. Paper Style provides the inspiration and tools for brides to mix and match glorious colours, lush textures
and beautiful patterns with confidence when designing and creating their wedding stationery.
The book includes tips on wedding invitation etiquette, designer secrets on typography and layout, plus information about the
tools of the trade. Cristina takes the guesswork out of design by guiding readers with easy to follow instructions and providing
essential tips and tricks. Paper Style also includes practical templates, show cased by stunning full-colour photography and lovely
hand-drawn illustrations, so brides can create their own professional looking stationery at home.
Savvy brides looking to maximise their wedding budget will gain endless inspiration and practical tips to creating their own,
complete wedding stationery with Paper Style.
Paper Style retails for $49.95 and is available April 2009 through Cristina Re stockists and all good book stores –
including Borders – nationally.
