About

Want heirloom-quality, custom wedding invitations that you’ll frame to admire for years to come?

You’re in the right place!

Hi! I’m Lesa – a Texas-based calligrapher and custom wedding invitation designer.

I chase the pretty things – the invitation monogram, the wax seal and silk ribbon – and have a knack for making it all work – the marriage of feminine details and masculine lines, torn edges and crisp letterpress – all to create the invitation suite of your dreams. My brides like to see the intersection of where dainty meets rustic and casual elegance, to believe that each guest should feel welcome and to know that their wedding has a cohesive look – from invitations to reception details.

I can’t say it enough, a wedding invitation suite is so much more than a piece of paper. It gives your guests a sneak peak at what your wedding will be like, providing the first “wow!” factor for your guests.

Let’s talk about your wedding dreams and create custom wedding invitations that fit your big day – and your budget – perfectly! I’ll walk you through every step of the process, from design and printing choices to etiquette and timelines (and, yes, I offer calligraphy addressing to your envelopes and day-of details as well!) When we’re done, you’ll have a frame-worthy suite that perfectly sets the tone for your big day – and you’ll be one step closer to officially getting hitched!

Let's get personal.
(No one wants to hire a stranger!)

After graduating from Texas A&M University in 2011, I spent seven years in non-profit marketing. Along the line I picked up calligraphy and put my graphic design skills to use on invitations, logo design and marketing materials for other small businesses. One gut decision led to another and, before I knew it, I was knee-deep in the world of letterpress and wax seals – and even added in a little antiques and home decor to feed my interior design dreams. Three years into my side-hustle journey - at a point when I expected it the least and needed it the most - things fell into place in a way that let me finally take the jump to be a full-time creative entrepreneur.

Now, I spend my days helping clients make the details of their most important day – their wedding day – unforgettable. I live with my college-sweetheart-turned-husband and Penny – our 87 pound, white Labradork – in South Texas. There’s no place else I’d rather be.

Enough about me - I want to hear about you and your dreams for your wedding day! Head over to BirdieMaeDesigns.com or email hello@birdiemaedesigns.com and let's get started!

Above and Beyond Amazing!

Lesa is so talented. I feel like we didn't even begin to utilize what all she was able to do. She was so quick to respond, professional, creative, and very detailed. I LOVED her style from the beginning of our planning.
Birdie Mae Designs was a JOY to work with throughout the entire wedding! She even did our Christmas cards after a November wedding!

Wonderful service, beyond beautiful outcome

I made my save the dates and wedding invitation suites with Birdie Mae Designs. Lesa was amazing to work with from the very start. She educated me on invitation suites and was patient with my questions. Her attention to detail is obvious. For example, she found the EXACT color I wanted for my wedding invitation. We design a beautiful suite together and I am thrilled with how my invitations turned out. I appreciated the guidance she gave me when we are making decisions about the color/design/font. I can say without a doubt that they were worth every single penny. I received so many complements from my guests when they received the invitations. I can't say enough good things about Lesa and her business. I felt taken care of, like her most important client and was so happy with what we created. Thank you, Lesa for making my dream invites come true.

Birdie Mae Designs: Professional, Creative, Quality Service

My daughter and I originally hired Birdie Mae Designs for Handmade Wedding Invitations. The invites turned out so absolutely beautiful that we wanted so much more. And Birdie Mae Designs does SO much more. Table numbers, welcome signs, escort cards, seating signs... just to name a few. Her work speaks for itself. Lesa was amazing! Professional, patient, creative, talented, extremely helpful, and most of all, she has a wonderful, warm personality-so easy to work with. She created a beautiful theme that carried throughout the entire wedding. Absolute perfection!! Highly recommended!!!
