Natalie O’Dell is the artist, designer, and calligrapher behind chez la mariée (French for “the bride’s place”).

Chez la mariée offers fine-art paper goods that help you commemorate and celebrate life events with meaning and distinction. Natalie’s background in studio art and art history infuses each design with purposeful artistry and deliberate detail. Painting, drawing, and writing work together to communicate your personality and evoke the feeling of your celebration. 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, and Margot.
