When design becomes an experience, the result is more than just beautiful stationery: it creates an atmosphere. “von Schönstein” is the design studio of art director and stationery expert Marina Brooks in Vienna. She translates your story into a well-thought-out concept—with clean lines, emotion, and a distinctive style that accompanies you and your guests throughout the day.
Alongside decorations and floral arrangements, stationery is one of the few ways to truly personalize your wedding. This is exactly where Marina comes in: from wedding invitations to save-the-date cards, menu cards, and thank-you notes. Each element comes together like a common thread, tailored to your personality, your values, and your style.
Throughout the design process, Marina works with you “on equal footing.” Together, you brainstorm, refine, and make decisions—with a love for detail and a high standard of quality. This is evident not only in the design but also in the execution: Marina loves high-quality materials, exclusive material combinations, and special printing techniques. The distinctive style of “von Schönstein” is also a blend of vintage and modern, often complemented by floral illustrations drawn from original sources dating from 1800 to 1890. This gives your wedding stationery a certain exclusivity.
To ensure you don’t feel overwhelmed by the many options for wedding stationery, there’s a flexible modular system: You first choose your basics, such as invitation cards, and add additional stationery elements later. This keeps everything organized—and you’re involved in the process every step of the way. In addition, Marina offers workshops at her Vienna studio—for example, for bachelorette parties or girls’ nights out—where you can immerse yourselves in the world of stationery together and enjoy a creative experience.
