About Me

I am passionate about all the little details. I love to create stationery where everything is intentional but feels unexpected.

The story behind

Scarlet Gilia Creative

Like most couples, I went online to look for invitations for my own wedding. Everything online felt so generic. I’d already received very similar looking invites from friends & family in the past. I wasn’t looking for a run-of-the-mill invitation suite - I wanted ours to stand out. I wanted our guests to receive an invite that felt unique to us, something that felt like an extension of our personalities, and most importantly something that was going to get them as excited for our wedding as we were!

PORTFOLIO

whether you describe your wedding vibe with a WORD, A COLOR, or a memory. I TAKE THAT INTANGIBLE FEELING AND TURN IT INTO SOMETHING REAL.

 Brand Values

Paper goods that feel

Work with me
  • A nautical star-shaped ornament, a wedding invitation, a welcome card with champagne glass illustration, and a partially visible world map and flower create a vintage travel-themed display.

    You bring the spark — we bring it to life. Every suite begins with your story and ends as something completely original.

  • Purple envelope containing a gold RSVP card with a wine glass illustration, surrounded by flowers and an anthurium leaf on a black background.

    We skip cookie-cutter etiquette in favor of bold ideas and joyful design moments that surprise and delight.

  • A wedding invitation suite, an envelope, RSVP card, details card, and a welcome party card, all arranged on a textured gray surface with lemon slices and peach-colored roses for decoration.

    We blend fine-art detail with a playful spirit — design that feels elevated, alive, and full of personality.

  • Close-up of a star-shaped ornament resting on colorful event flyers, with a red envelope with stamps in the background.

    Our process is as seamless as it is creative. You get white-glove service and wild ideas, all in one place.

Testimonials
Taylor

As a wedding planner, I knew immediately who I wanted to design paper goods for my own wedding. Having worked with Kristina before for my own clients, it was an easy choice. Details were incredibly important to me from the save the date all the way to the day-of signage. Kristina took my ideas and inspiration beyond my own expectations. I recommend her to all my clients! She is truly the best.

Lauren

To be honest, I never had wedding stationery as a top priority for my wedding. Our wedding planner recommended Scarlet Gilia Creative, after some research and an intro phone call, my mind completely changed. Stationery suddenly became my favorite part of the planning process. Kristina made the process so much fun. It was such a blast hearing from all my guests receive their invites, it definitely made the lead up to the big day that much more exciting! I can’t wait to get started on our day-of paper goods to tie everything together.

Ellie

We had a specific vision we wanted and we told Kristina and she came back with exactly what we wanted but honestly even more stunning than we had imagined.

Thank you for making every detail absolutely perfect for our wedding, I will be forever grateful!!!

Dani

Kristina has been, hands down, my favorite vendor to work with throughout my wedding planning journey. She is incredibly talented, creative, and kind. Her responses always come quickly, and she is willing to go out of her way to make sure your stationary/goods are exactly how you envisioned. I am beyond grateful to have had her create our save the dates, invites, day of signage, menus, and place cards. I cannot recommend her enough to anyone who is interested!

Marija

When I saw the invites all out together I was in love. The details and how all the colors went together was perfect and I couldn’t imagine them look any other way. I am blown away with Kristina’s work, I wish I could get married 100x over and over just so I could get more invites from her. I can’t wait for our guests to receive these invites and love them just as much as me and my fiancé do!! If you are thinking if you should spend the money DO IT, it is so worth it.
