THE SOUTH'S PREMIERE EVENT DESIGNER, TARA GUÉRARD
launched Lettered Olive as a way to provide her clients with the
very best stationery options possible. After finding no resources
that catered to her level of taste and quality, Tara began working
exclusively with the area's leading designers to create and develop
stunning invitation suites, all customized with each bride in mind.
The feedback was overwhelming and the demand for this unique
service quickly grew. With their collaborative effort, Tara and graphic
designer Julia Shuman immediately went to work on creating their
first ready to order collection. Lettered Olive is available to any bride
who wishes for beauty and impeccable style.
