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.
