Designs By Lenila

This is by far, hands down, the best business ever. We met Lenila at a bridal show and my fiancée was enthralled by Lenila’s work. It was all handcrafted and original designs with a wide variety of different stationary and cards. My fiancée particularly fell in love with the seastar designs and we decided to give a shot by entering a contest that Lenila was having. And we managed to win!
Lenila provided us with so much more than just free wedding invitations — she provided an experience that we will keep near and dear to our hearts. It was such a pleasure to work with her to get the exact designs and the exact colors and she was so generous to us with what we got. And it was so beautiful — you never really know what something will look like until you get in hand and when we got those invitations, we were floored. They were so beautiful, so elegantly made and handcrafted and the both of us were stunned that we managed to have these invitations. And when we sent them out, we found out that we weren’t the only ones that were stunned by how amazing they were. We go emails, facebook messages, texts, and calls from all the people in our lives saying that these invitations were the most beautiful and classy invites that they had ever received.
Thisis not just a great business; it’s run by a wonderful person with an amazing heart and she has our business for life. She’s not just talented; she’s a beautiful person inside and out and I am very thankful and grateful to have her work represented at our wedding because what she gave us really does represent who we are at our wedding.
Go with designs by Lenila — you will not be disappointed in the least. In fact, you might get way more than you thought you could.

After we mailed and handed out all of our invitations, we have received several phone calls, text messages, emails, and facebook messages saying that these were the most beautiful and classy and amazing invitations people have ever seen! I felt so blessed that we were able to give such awesome invitations to people and that people were so surprised at how beautiful our invitations that they actually sent pictures of it to us telling us that they have never seen anything like it!
Thank you so much Lenila!

Lenila has beautiful high end, tropical wedding stationery and we were thrilled with our honu (sea turtle) guestbook and thank you cards from her. We also ordered the lauhala ring pillow based on the design on the website but were surprised to find it did not come stuffed or decorated as shown in the picture. However, Lenila was willing to make it right and updated her website to be more informative, which made us feel better about it. Customer service is very important to me and Lenila was very friendly and helpful. I would recommend her for very beautiful & unique tropical wedding items.

Designs by Lenila is one AWESOME business! I’ve had the pleasure of working with Lenila when she made my parents’ 50^th Wedding Anniversary Invitations, party favors, table cards and other accessories with a Tropical Hawaiian theme. The finished products were soooo elegant and BEAUTIFUL that we had so many compliments on them!!! The party was a huge success– thanks to Lenila’s help! Lenila is so super TALENTED and it seems to come so naturally to her. Her artwork is truly amazing! Check out her website to view the different themes and you’ll see how great an artist she truly is! It was great doing business with Lenila as she was easy to talk to, very outgoing & caring, but still very professional. Most of all Lenila is so very CREATIVE!!! You truly can tell this is her passion! I would highly recommend her business to everyone I know!

Lenila has done a great job with her business! From the different kinds of invitations, postcards, guestbooks, postage stamps to her passion for making these products, you will truly love her work!!! She is very talented and for every order will put her personal touch into them. I like the wide range of products that she has to offer and will definitely do business once it’s my time to get married! Not only do I love the beach, but I wouldn’t mind a beach-​themed wedding to go along with the invitations!!! So look no further, this is THE place to go!

SO BEAUTIFUL! She is so wonderful. Beautiful invitations, guestbooks, menu cards, everything you need for stationary at your wedding. Perfect for tropical or beachy weddings!

I too accidentally came across this website while searching for plumeria wedding invitations, for my Hawaiian destination wedding. I wanted something unique that people would remember. I ordered the yellow plumeria save-​the dates. They were without a doubt, better than the image on her website. The printed card overlay and the fiberous torn paper added the finishing touches. I received a proof within a week, then 2 – 3 weeks for the actual cards. My friends and family all commented on how unique they were! She is working on my scroll invitation sample now and I am very anxious to see it. Bottom line, if you want high end invitations that are unique and beautiful, you will not be disappointed.

I saw an example of one of Lenila’s designs on Google images and I knew I had to find her for my wedding invitations. My fiancé and I really wanted to have a unique invitation for our destination Hawaiian wedding. I love cartography and old maps so I wanted to incorporate island maps some how. I’m so glad I found Lenila! Not only were the graphics beautiful, but her website was so helpful in the wording, font and layout. This was very helpful to me since I’m planning every part of my wedding on line or over the phone. She made sure every piece was created to my specific requests. And the turn around time was great. Even though we’re having a small wedding, I’ve gotten so many wonderful compliments from my friends and family. I’ve already been suggesting her to friends and co-​workers. Thank you Lenila!

Designs by Lenila was one of the best decisions I made for my wedding. I got married on June 30, 2012 in Shelter Island, CA and I had a beach themed wedding. Star fish, sea shells, sea glass, and every decoration under the sea. Lenila customized beautiful invitations, bamboo fan programs, a guest book, and table cards. She went ABOVE and BEYOND on everything! She included ribbon to match my color schemes and tiny sea shells which were glued on my invitations and fans. All of my guests were highly impressed with the quality and uniqueness of her work. If you want your wedding to stand out then make sure to use Lenila. She is the sweetest lady, a hard worker, and blessed with so much creativity that you won’t be anything but thrilled when your product arrives. I am so thankful that I was able to book her and I made sure to keep an extra copy for myself of all the products which are now placed beautifully in our wedding scrapbook.

My review won’t do my invitations justice. but I shall try. We are getting married in Maui come July. We wanted unique & beautiful invitations for our family & friends.
