You can call me Gill (the G is like Geoff)! I’m the one-woman show making and designing your gorgeous foil wedding invites and day-of items.

Copper+Blush runs from my home studio in Waterloo, Ontario. Specializing in custom foil wedding stationery and best known for foil cards & address labels on Etsy.

When I’m not in my studio, you might find me shouting out answers to Jeopardy! reruns (it’s a LOT easier when you’ve seen the episode already) or binge-hate-watching Love is Blind. Sundays are for cheering on the Chiefs with my wonderful video game-loving husband.

hey new friend!

Gillian is quite possibly the kindest and most lovely person to work with! We absolutely love her shop and appreciate her empathy.

I get so much fulfillment from seeing all the pieces fit into a cohesive package. One that might end up across the world at the doorstep of your long-distance family or friend.

Looking back, I’ve always been a builder and a maker. Now I just get to do it with you for one of the most exciting days of your life and share (if only just a little bit) in making that special day one you and your guests will remember for a lifetime. Not bad for a kid who turned goo into bugs, right?

When I was a kid, I loved hobbies. I was obsessed with my Easy-Bake Oven. And my Creepy Crawlers machine. And my Snap Circuits. And KNEX. Pretty much any kit that I had to put together, I LOVED. 

As I got older, my tastes became more refined. I graduated from safety scissors to electronic cutting machines. I transitioned from colouring books to foil greeting cards. And instead of mixing tiny packets of cake batter, I’m now the cheesecake queen of my family.

So it’s really not surprising that my favourite part of creating wedding invitations (apart from meeting lovely couples like you!) is when I get to play with my machines (printers) and put all the parts of your suite together.

Care about making your guests feel special

Are looking for someone to work with, not someone to work for you

Want a personalized experience and custom design so each part of the equation is seamless & cohesive 

Like to treat yourselves to nice things once in a while



we'd be a great fit if you...

I know your wedding invitations are kind of a big deal and that you’re trusting me with designing your guests’ first impression of your day. I don’t take that lightly.

My number one goal is really getting to know you two and your style, learning your story, and figuring out what you want and need. Translating that into beautiful pieces of paper you will be SO excited to send is my little bit of magic!

What drives me is imagining your guests opening your invitations, being SO excited to put them on their fridge.

i pride myself on...

yes, please!

no, thanks!

Racism, homophobia and general bigotry
