I saw this somewhere and I think I’ve had 9to5 stuck in my head ever since 🎶 I’m not a huge glitter and rhinestone girl myself, but it was still fun to make something out of the norm!

Story time! When I tell people what I do, they almost always say, “oh my gosh what a fun job?!” And it really truly is. But the small business ownership part can be leas fun. We’ve had some bizarre things happen over the years.

This was the most recent adventure but there are lots more where that came from. If you enjoy this kind of behind the scenes content, let us know with a heart or a comment!

Spent some time over the last few weeks “renovating” our booth @mtpleasantmall ahead of the holiday season. The time goes by so quickly – it feels like it was yesterday when I bought those white shelves and put them in but it was like five years ago 😆

Weddings are very much our main gig, but I really love having this spot to share our other products. Some new things are in the works too, so stay tuned!

We do lots of scenery in our envelope liners which of course we LOVE, but we had to take a moment for this bold typography in a soft color palette too!

It's always fun to look back and see how styles and trends have changed over the years. When we first started, it was all about rustic vibes - mason jars, burlap, kraft and weddings in barns.

There was a year or two where I think every wedding we did had a chevron somewhere. I remember being very excited about my blue and white chevron rug in our first office back in 2012 ;-)

What did we miss? And what do you think will make a comeback first? Because we all know every trend comes back!

It’s really hard to keep up with what’s cool and what’s not these days 😂 But we really do have a lot of new followers (thank you!) so we figured we might as well say hello!

I’m Sarah and I started Dodeline in 2009 completely fresh out of college. I’m married to my high school sweetheart and we have two cute kiddos. I was born and raised in Charleston and have been here most of my life except for college at UGA - go dawgs! We love to travel though and are always planning new trips.

Kellie has worked with me now since 2012. We would never have gotten to where we are without her! Plus she’s a fellow UGA fan 🙂

Jojo started in 2018 and same thing - not sure what we’d do without her. She is a Clemson fan nowadays but we forgive her 😜

Julie came along in 2020 or so and helps with overflow but also manages our booth @mtpleasantmall. She and I spent today doing a big reset over there and it looks so good! Not quite done but I hope you’ll check it out.

We have such a great team - I’m so grateful all these people came into my life. When you order from us, whether it’s a gift or card in our @etsy shop or a year’s worth of wedding stationery planning, you’re truly supporting a small family business 💜 We appreciate it so much!

Questions? Want to get to know us better? Ask away!

Once the invitations are done, you might think you're done with paper, but often that couldn't be further from the truth!

One of the big decisions to make with a wedding is the catering, and what you decide for that very much affects the stationery. Use this handy questionnaire to figure out what you will need!

And if this post was helpful, we would be so grateful to hear from you --- whether it's a comment, save, or tagging a friend.

Happy weekend!

Throwback to this floral beauty 💜 We don’t see lavender as often as some other palettes so we got so excited for this one! It’s definitely a case for purple 🙂
