A little about Copper Rose Design Studio

Hi there! I’m Melissa.

Beach bum, happy hour connoisseur, popcorn lover, and owner/designer of Copper Rose Design Studio.

Copper Rose is a one-woman show mostly, but my husband Andrew helps out with the numbers and business odds and ends that keep us going strong. We're based in New Jersey (at the beautiful Jersey Shore)!

I love telling the stories of my couples through design, and I have such a soft spot for weddings that are reflective of their personalities and life together. We'll work through the design process one-on-one where we get to know each other before I even start sketching! This helps me understand your style, taste, personality, and vision for your big day so that I can bring it to life on paper.

I handcraft all of my designs from start to finish, so no two pieces are exactly alike. I always take the time to make sure that every piece is exactly what you need—and it gives me the freedom to make sure that your custom wedding stationery is reflective of you, while also being full of quality and style so you don’t need to compromise on either one.

Kind words from Copper Rose couples

“We only had one person in mind to create our wedding invitations, and that was Melissa at Copper Rose Design Studio. We hired Melissa to do our Save The Dates, so we knew she would deliver a gorgeous design, yet again. I had a vision in mind but had no idea how to bring it to life. With Melissa’s extraordinary attention to detail and endless talent, she exceeded our expectations by a landslide. The whole process was so enjoyable! Every email and presentation was so organized and easy to navigate. 

We received SO many compliments from our family and friends on how stunning the invitations were. Melissa was able to coordinate them with our overall wedding theme and decor beautifully. It’s so meaningful to look back on her one-of-a-kind design and remember all the memories from our special day. 

We HIGHLY recommend Copper Rose Design Studio if you are looking for an all-star wedding invitation designer. Check out her versatile and breathtaking portfolio!”

“M​elissa did such an amazing job on our wedding invitations! She met with me and my husband to go over what we wanted our invitations to look like and then once she had everything she needed she had an example ready for us to view! She was extremely pleasant to work with and everything was done when she said it would be! I would highly recommend her to anyone! She will help you with all your wedding stationery needs!”

She was super helpful in providing ideas and several options for us to choose from. Melissa was able to capture the look and feel of our wedding, while also staying within budget. All of our guests complimented on how beautiful they were and we could not be happier with they way the came out. Our experience with Melissa was smooth and exciting from start to finish. We can not wait to work with Melissa again for our next big celebration!”

“From start to finish, Melissa was such a great person to work with. She listened to all of the design elements that my husband and I envisioned for our invitation suites, and she provided us with amazing options for both our save-the-dates and our wedding invitations that were absolutely beautiful! Her attention to our vision in all of the drafts, made it so hard to pick just one for the final prints. We were blown away with the final products, and we are so happy that we chose to work with Melissa to create such a special and important element for our wedding day!”
