Salutations began as two separate companies, started by two different women, with a lot of the same ideas.
Owned by Jess Gilbert, Salutations began as a retail stationery store in downtown Northville. In time, Jess found that her true passion was working one-on-one with brides to design wedding invitations and accessories. That’s when, Salutations went from a purely retail enterprise to a design studio catering to brides looking for unique and beautiful wedding invitations. One of the top five wedding invitation designers in Metro Detroit, Jess has made Salutations a favorite with brides. But with a love of paper that equaled her love of design, Jess was eager to expand her services.
Just a few miles away, designer Leslie Zager, knew that many brides wanted to design their own wedding invitations and were searching for quality paper products. Combining her design background with a passion for paper, bluedotpapershop.com was born. With one of the largest selections of cardstock, envelopes and pockets online, bluedotpapershop.com has become a destination for designers, crafters and brides, alike. But, with a love of design that equaled her love of paper, Leslie was eager to expand her services.
I think you see where this is going.
A fortuitous meeting, lunch and many coffees later, Jess and Leslie decided to combine their ideas and their companies, thus, making Salutations a one-stop shop. Whether you’re a DIY-bride looking for supplies, or searching for custom-designed wedding invitations, Salutations has you covered.
More than just two great companies coming together; Salutations combines both the passion and experience of two inspired women who love paper, adore design — and can’t wait to share all of it with you.
