Bespoke Designs Review

As I reflect back two months after our wedding, the stationary and paper goods still stand out as one of my favorite elements of the wedding, and that is all thanks to Monica and the team at Bespoke Designs. We came across Bespoke through the preferred vendor list at our venue, and the shop is right down the street from my parents' home in Westport. We booked a consultation without looking anywhere else and never looked back. From the very first meeting, Monica understood the look and feel we were hoping for at the wedding, and she brought that vision to life through every element of the paper goods. From custom artwork of the venue for our postcard save the date, wave-like paper for envelope liners, hand-dyed silk ribbon on the edges of our ceremony programs, custom stickers and stamps for our welcome bags, and a beautiful wax seal and sprig of baby's breath on the menus, everything was elegant, cohesive, and spectacular. From the save the dates all the way through to the thank you cards, each piece evoked the themes of our waterfront venue. Apart from their pure talent and creativity, the team at Bespoke is truly a pleasure to work with. There were many moments throughout the planning process when things were delayed awaiting responses from me, but Monica was kind and understanding nonetheless. Furthermore, she went above and beyond the week of the wedding - stuffing our escort cards, delivering the menus to the venue so that the flowers would be fresh, and even doing a last-minute signage print for us. I truly cannot say enough good things about Monica and the Bespoke team - I wish we could do it all again! I know I'll be back for many non-wedding-related paper good needs in the future!

Shari Leibowitz and her talented team are a modern hold-out of the gracious stationer of yore. With exquisite care and creativity, Shari brings to her work individualized (dare I say, "bespoke") attention to my varied projects over the years. Details matter! Life is too short to cut corners on quality. People do notice.

Shari and her staff at Bespoke Designs, (I worked primarily with Phyllis.) are great! They were all extremely professional, creative, and helpful in the selection, design and delivery of the Save-The-Date cards and envelopes for my daughter's upcoming wedding. The cards are really beautiful, and unique, which I assumed they would be, given the top notch service that the entire Bespoke team provides. I am really looking forward to working with Bespoke again soon on what I know will be similarly gorgeous and special wedding invitations. Also the shop is beautiful and a lot of fun to visit!

Highly recommend. Shari and her staff are truly amazing. Recently sent out invites and people are contacting me to say how beautiful they are and inquire where I purchased them.

Let me just say - Shari at BeSpoke is AMAZING! I came in with my mom right when she was closing, to get rehearsal dinner invites that should've been sent out like yesterday and we were in a panic! She calmly and quickly created our invite in about 15 minutes. Sent us the proof that night and off to the printer the next day. We got them in 3 days!!! Not only that - I couldn't get to Westport to pick them up and she personally dropped them off at my house that morning at 5am!!!! I honestly will never go to anyone else. I wish I could give Bespoke Designs 10 stars!!!

Wonderful experience working with owner Shari Lebowitz on the invitation design for our annual event was an unexpected treat. You couldn't ask for a more creative, professional, and fun partner to work with. The staff there are helpful too.

Bespoke is probably the best thing that happened to wedding planning. They really MADE my wedding so incredibly special. I used Bespoke for everything from my wedding invitations, menus, place cards, to favor boxes and ribbons, a giant scroll seating chart with calligraphy, custom vintage stamps, a custom monogram I used throughout my wedding details including a wax seal stamp for my wedding envelopes and vow books for my husband and I to cherish forever. They even assemble everything as a service which was a huge time saver and game changer when planning my wedding with my busy work schedule. I knew I could trust them on every detail and making sure everything was just right. They have an impeccable attention to detail and nothing will leave Bespoke without being absolutely perfect and the way you want it. Even the initial creative process was so detail oriented and nothing like I had seen throughout the wedding planning process. Monica sat with me (patiently!) and showed me numerous examples, ideas, colors, techniques to give me ample inspiration and options when we were working together on design concepts for my items. They are simply the best and I can t imagine not having them for my wedding day. My wedding guests were blown away (and so were my husband and I!) about all the gorgeous details on my wedding day that Bespoke did. I can t get enough, which is why I am even now going back post-wedding to do custom stationary, wedding thank yous, and holiday cards. They are AMAZING and I can t imagine a better team/design partnership!

A definition of bespoke is tailored to the customs, tastes, or usage of an individual purchaser . And that is exactly what you will find at Bespoke Designs. I was in search of stationery as a gift for my daughter and decided to pay a visit to Shari s shop. The choices were vast but they listened to my needs and wants and patiently helped me design the perfect set. I can t wait to return and create something for myself!

The products and selection at Bespoke are not only incredible but Shari and her team will go above and beyond to get the job done. I was working on designing a table for a charity gala and initially thought I needed cards to thank all the vendors who donated to the cause. Shari came up with the idea of a gift tag to accompany the party favor which would have my business name on one side and the vendors names on the back. She only printed enough of the vendor cards to cover the event and printed the remainder of the tags with just my business name. I am now able to present my clients with fabric samples and other items wrapped with a beautiful gift tag. It was such a creative idea. I walked out of Bespoke with new business cards and a few other things and can't wait to go back for more.

The selection of papers and gifts is exquisitely curated and Bespoke Design's custom work is beautiful. Most of all, Shari and her staff have created a store that feels more like a home and they make the process so much FUN!

Bespoke helped design the coolest and most unique invites for my wedding! Everything from custom stickers to matching fonts perfectly and coming up with creative and punny sayings for the RSVP cards... the best! Everyone couldn t stop talking about how cool and fun and elegant they turned out.. can t recommend them enough!

They pulled off a beautiful Christmas gift for my wife. The paper and calligraphy are stunning. Couldn't be happier.

I would highly recommend Bespoke! The entire staff was amazing to work with. Our invitations needed to be changed after they had been printed, and Shari and her staff did not skip a beat. The invitations were re-done rapidly, and went out on time! The invitations, themselves, came out magnificently. Bespoke attended to our every need. Shari is incredibly creative and a pleasure to work with, and the atmosphere at Bespoke is relaxing and welcoming. Working with them was, by far, the most delightful part of the wedding planning process!

From the moment we entered the store we were treated like old dear friends. Our design specialist, Jill creatively guided us through the design of the wedding invitation suite, the menu cards, escort cards, cocktail napkins, transportation cards... while always being courteous of the budget. She beautifully designed all so that each piece tied not only to get other; but also enhanced the look and feel of the wedding. She was meticulous with the details of each paper item, ensuring that everything was perfect. The whole process was a joy!

I was feeling bad about not having any "grown up" stationery. I stopped in and spent a delightful hour with Shari Lebowitz. I got 2 terrific patterns, one for me and one for us as a couple. It was so much fun, and I'm so pleased with the final product that I've actually started sending notes to people IN THE MAIL. I also got a birthday gift for a friend- the store is filled with great stuff, including gift tags, table linens, note cards, and more. It is absolutely worth a trip!

My mom had come across Bespoke Designs after living in Westport over the last few years. We made an initial appointment to come in to see what options there were to choose from and to help narrow down what we were looking for. Shari and Phyllis were both extremely helpful and patient as we flipped through various books until we finally landed on what we were looking for! During the second appointment, Phyllis sat with us and carefully took notes about what we wanted the invitation to say and all of the details that needed to be included. We were then able to see a proof of the final invitation and even ordered matching stamps and thank you cards. We couldn't have been happier with how the invitations came out and I would recommend going to Bespoke for a one-on-one, professional experience

Thank you! Working with Cindy is always a breeze! Love this company!

I ran in to this little gem to grab a quick travel notebook for my kids and found these! They're awesome and my kids loved them. I love to shop local and this place is my new go to!

Shari and her team created everything I needed to launch my new jewelry business. Gorgeous packaging and business cards, plexi plaques, signage..just to name a few things they did (in a very short time) Shari's attention to detail, her eye, her professional yet fun personality, made working with Bespoke a wonderful experience. I will go back to them again and again. Truly a gem of a business--I could not be more impressed! Elizabeth Epley Jewelry

Love, love, love Bespoke. The stationery is beautiful but approachable. The site is full of fresh, funny, and unexpected gifts. The shopping experience couldn't be easier. We got stationery for me, for my husband, for my daughter, gift tags (so cute tied to a bottle of wine - or anything!), teacher gifts, and funny cards. Thank you, Bespoke, for bringing pretty, witty paper back into my life!

The most beautiful stationary store in Fairfield county - Shari is amazing and has a clear understanding of what her clients needs. I'm now ordering stationary for my daughter too.

Definitely worth a visit- great people, fun vibe, lots to shop for. And their design work is best around. So glad we partnered together for my mom's wedding.

I have recently retired and found your staff and store exceeds my expectations for stationary needs. Phyliss has assisted in my expanding family of grandchildren with both whimsical suggestions and the formal announcements

If all businesses were like Bespoke Designs, this world would be a better place. Shari Lebowitz guided me through the stationery selection process with infinite patience, creativity and efficiency. The pricing was clear and reasonable and the beautiful final product was delivered extremely quickly for a custom order. The shop is lovely, and the poodle mascot gets five stars of his own!

LIFE-SAVERS.........LITERALLY!!!!
Everyone here is beyond exceptional with their customer service, attention to detail and amazing knowledge of all things invitation/etiquette /paper/and party planning.

All the items we purchased ) especially the CUSTOM PAINTING received lots of compliments. I feel like I made some new friends ;-)

I had no idea that so much was possible in the world of stationary but I now know...If you are looking for the best, Shari and the Bespoke design team are it. Couldn t recommend more highly!

Perfect from design to delivery! I purchased personalized stationary for a holiday gift and Bespoke made the entire process pleasant. The note cards are beautiful!

How wonderful it is to have access to such an array of the best, most interesting designs! I'm loving my new stationery as much as I loved the process of selecting it. No question where I will be going for future paper and design needs!

Love this shop and all the people in it. Phyllis helped me with a unique design for the Cinco de Mayo Bridal Shower invitation. Shari, and Walter, are a community gem.

Bespoke Designs was a DREAM to work with!! Their talent and creativity was only outmatched by their kindness, enthusiasm, and patience. They masterfully combined our desired aesthetic with custom artwork, making expert recommendations throughout the process while keeping our budget top of mind. They delivered every project on time and with impeccable quality. I would 100% recommend Bespoke to any couple!

A stunning array of choices, plus impeccable advice and attention to detail and timing, meant the invitations, escort cards and gift tags for my son's wedding rehearsal dinner were exquisite. Bespoke Designs is now my "go to" place for unique and lovely invitations, stationery and luxury linens...it should be yours too!

This was our third year working with Bespoke Designs to create our annual client seminar invitation! Each year Shari, Jill, and the rest of the Bespoke team gives our invitation s look a new and exciting twist. I would highly recommend them to anyone, corporate or otherwise, who needs help with any kind of event. Thank you!!

My daughter and I had the most positive experience at Bespoke Designs that I felt I had to share this with any prospective clients! Shari and her team made what could have been a very stress-filled experience one of ease and fun! They ran with the theme that my daughter had envisioned and fashioned the entire wedding-suite of printed items - Save The Date, Invitations, Menu's etc etc. They worked cooperatively with the wedding planner and florist and created just the most beautiful wedding experience! We were absolutely delighted - I HIGHLY recommend Bespoke Design for all your printed and invitation needs!

Shari and her team helped me with my Holiday Cards and were extremely helpful and great to work with. I love anything paper and this is a delightful store to visit. They have beautiful items.

We had birth announcements made in NYC for our first two children. Bespoke Designs was able to match the style and template for our third baby. It's helped create a perfect, consistent set that we will treasure forever!

Bespoke Designs combines the best of old world elegance , modern technology, and creative talent. Both Shari and Phyllis are knowledgeable, helpful, and lots of fun to work with! They devoted a lot of time to making sure the final product was perfect...and it was!

I loved working with Shari to deliver our beautiful holiday cards for our business. Having custom letterpress cards delivered to our clients and friends just reinforces our gratitude for their trust in our design firm and the quality of the designs from Bespoke Designs are top notch!

Shari and the Bespoke Designs team continue to exceed our wildest expectations with their insanely creative approach. Everything is one of a kind and truly unique. The great design aesthetic, and the custom and sophisticated branding from beginning to end made all aspects of our wedding experience feel so unique to the core of who we are as people, a couple and a family. You walked in the room and knew it was made just for us - colors, textures, invitations and all.

They just get it and then supercharge and go way beyond. Every little element is considered before coming back to me (something I really value as a busy working mom who knows what she wants but sometimes struggles to express it), no explanation needed with Bespoke Designs, it just WOWS YOU EVERY TIME! Better than our wildest dreams and always communicative, innovative and incorporating materials and finishes that my mind sometimes can't even envision, it's no surprise why I always insist on being surprised by the Bespoke Designs team. Their work keeps my life stress free, and makes our moments beyond beautiful - the finished product is always presented and revealed like one of our greatest gifts. Like their tagline says, I truly feel that they're always focused on, "spreading love through design!"

Side note: We got married and had a really incredible wedding during COVID. The amount of care, concern and thoughtfulness that went into creating a safe and glamourous wedding and reception was simply ABOVE and BEYOND what you could ever expect. Bespoke Designs gave great advice, and was flexible with the production options and knew the perfect vendors to bring in for every need, concern, including the bells and whistles. We are so thrilled and grateful to have had Bespoke Designs on our team. The rest is now beautiful history!

Pen enthusiast that stopped in (only Kaweco dealer for miles around). Now i know where to go for wedding invitations and personal stationery needs. Abundant and creative options with beautiful examples on display; staff was very knowledgeable and patient with all my questions. Relaxing atmosphere

Bespoke Designs is THE place! We recently moved to a new home and Jill at Bespoke not only assisted us with stationary, but also worked with us to design a custom house monogram. We used the design on towels and cocktail napkins. Creative, practical and fun to work with.
