Chez la mariée creates fine-art paper goods that celebrate life events with feeling, meaning, and distinction.

 Natalie O’Dell is the artist and designer behind chez la mariée (French for “the bride’s place”). She imbues her designs with playful creativity, purposeful artistry, and an eye for deliberate detail. Brushstrokes and handwritten script work together to tell your story and forge heartfelt connection with your invited guests. Your event begins with the invitation — it should reveal much more than just the date and time.

If you are interested in working with Natalie or learning more about the process, please get in touch!

Natalie lives in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia, with her husband Wesley and darling daughters Madeleine, Genevieve, Margot, and Clementine.
