specializing in unique wedding stationery
I’m so happy you’re here, I’m Stephanie! I have a deep love for color and a flair for blending playful and sophisticated styles to create high-quality, hand-painted invitation suites and wedding stationery — plus a few other fun things too!
Almost every single memory I have of my childhood involves being creative. I used to paint tiny pictures to hang in my Barbie dreamhouse for my dolls. Heaven forbid they didn’t have a customized, aesthetic home. This creative spirit stuck with me as I got my degree in Textile & Surface design at The Fashion Institute of Technology in NYC, and soon after planned my wedding, designed my own wedding invitations, and ran with building my own business.
When couples first hired me to paint original artwork for their weddings, I fell in love with hearing their stories and bringing their unique vision to life — I was obsessed then and still am 10 years later!

I take a highly personalized, collaborative approach to ensure each piece reflects your unique vision. Whether you’re looking for something more whimsical or elegant, I’m here to guide you through every detail and bring your love story to life.

behind the paintbrush
You know me as an artist and stationery enthusiast, but at the core of it all is my family and my love of stories. I’m an avid reader, drawn to romantasy, psychological thrillers, and of course, a good romance novel. My family is truly my “why” — they’re the reason I pour my heart into my business. My husband, a hard-working Italian who runs a restaurant and brewery, is the rock of our family. Together, we’re raising our two boys to find passion and happiness in their lives. I want them to grow up believing in endless possibilities fueled by creativity and drive, not limited by societal norms. With Stephanie Tara Stationery, I hope to serve as a beautiful example that they can follow their dreams and accomplish what their hearts desire.
meet the team
It would be literally impossible to continue growing this business AND staying sane without the help of my incredible sidekicks! Anushka joined the team to help with all things marketing and creativity. Barely a minute goes by without me sending her a text about some crazy new idea. She is essential to my mental health and the brains behind half of the product creations you see here! I am super excited for her role to continue evolving. Megan joined the team next and has become the order manager AKA whatever she says in the inventory room goes! She packs all the orders and handles almost all of the wedding stationery assembly! She is my Jacqueline-of-all-trades in the studio. My oxygen mask. I'm being dramatic and also totally serious. I love these ladies and am so grateful for them each and every day!
