YOUR MAGNIFICENT MILESTONE
From sweeping centerpieces and pristine place cards to floor-length fashion and edible elegance, nothing should be short of spectacular. And it all begins with that first introduction… the invitation. As the preface to a new chapter, the invite gives a glimpse into your next step and sets the tone for this special affair.
Memorialize this occasion with an invitation that does just that.
Combining a passion for paper and a love of planning, Magnificent Milestones launched in 2007 to encourage brides, grooms and event planners alike to fall in love with our inspiration: the power of the written word. Together, we’ll explore gorgeous paper, clever wording and unique embellishments to commemorate your occasion.
I look forward to sharing ideas, inspiration and invitations with you!
KARA UNDERWOOD GORDON
OWNER + DESIGNER
I found my calling at six years old…
The memory is vivid and clear: the luxurious limo ride, the carefree dancing, the dazzling dress and the cake, almost too pretty to eat (but not quite)… it was my first wedding. I didn’t know exactly what I would be when I “grew up,” but I knew it would involve weddings. Mesmerized by this magnificent milestone, I spent the next decade cutting up my mother’s catalogs, piecing together dresses, positioning floral arrangements and styling table settings – planning the perfect moment.
Eager and inspired, I packed up and plopped down in Chicago after college, determined to take the next step toward my dreams: opening my own business. After years of coping with the corporate world; unwavering effort, perseverance and 3 a.m. nights; and endless moral support from my family and friends, my childhood calling was complete and Magnificent Milestones opened its doors in July 2007.
