The story behind
The true meaning of a timeless piece
Imagine holding a piece of art in your hands, one that not only invites but also enchants, telling the unique tale of two hearts coming together. Our bespoke creations for destination weddings and boutique events are designed to spark joy and nostalgia, not just on the day they're received, but for years to come. We specialize in turning moments into memories, and invitations into keepsakes that will make you smile, even decades down the road. We don't just create invitations – we craft tangible love stories.
I am Karina Gaio, Founder of Timeless Impress. Welcome to my unique story!
Since I was a child, I have been inspired by my mother’s ability to create, paint, craft, and bring to life a fantasy world of Imaginarium, our picturesque world devoted to the imagination. Her brilliance drove me to study arts, majoring in graphic design and advertising, and later exploring the world of sustainable archetypes and fashion.
Among her many talents, my graceful mother was the gifted daughter of a haute couture seamstress, who taught her the importance of details. She helped me bring to life my dream wedding gown a quarter of a century ago, a timeless piece that I designed with every detail that represented my life—a treasure for its meaning, an aide-mémoire of my extraordinary wedding process and the experiences that led to it.
​
My dress inspired my wedding invitation's design and captured the essence of the message that I wanted to convey. The guipure we hand-picked for the dress on one of many trips, referencing our Italian and Spanish ancestry, became the muse for the invitation. The invitation was a unique piece meant for much more than informing our guests of the event—it was destined to endure the beauty of that moment and make the experience timeless, an eternal memento of that very particular point in my life.
​
Two decades plus after our wedding, as we approach our 25th anniversary, friends and family still cherish the beautiful memory encapsulated in our unique wedding invitation. This enduring piece inspired me to create Timeless Impress, a fine bespoke stationery atelier. We specialize in crafting exquisite paper goods that serve as vessels for your message, celebrations of your love, and tangible keepsakes that your loved ones will treasure forever.
​
I hope our invitation becomes a small part of your life story and that, in many years to come, it reminds you of all the beautiful things that led to your wedding day and beyond.
​
Enjoy the journey!
