What looks like a stationery studio is, underneath, an art studio that happens to specialize in the things we hold. And keep.
The references here rarely come from other wedding stationery. They come from decorative arts archives, historic architecture, old textiles, fashion, and the kind of interiors that take years to get right. A color pulled from a painting or a pattern that overlaps the way a collected room is layered - over time and with intention. The work is built to feel less like a product and more like a small, considered world.
A STATIONERY STUDIO
AND SOMETHING MORE THAN THAT
Most nights, after the lights are off in the studio, I'm still working. Just differently. Opening an art book, sorting through old textile patterns, or studying a photograph of a room I'll never see in person but can't stop thinking about. I go to bed turning a color combination over in my head, and more often than not, I wake up still excited about it.
That's basically how every project starts. With a feeling I can't quite explain yet. And the practice of sitting with an idea until it turns into something real.
That habit became Hands of Grace. Now it's part of how other people remember their best days.
Hi, I'm Grace.

There is a particular kind of creative energy that belongs to Houston - a city that is entirely international, visually dense, and blissfully free of a single, predictable aesthetic rulebook. It’s an environment that forces you to keep your eyes open. We draw our inspiration directly from the world-class gallery spaces, the layered maximalism of historic residential pockets, and the vibrant, multicultural rhythm of a city that constantly redefines itself. We work out of Texas, but our design language belongs to a much wider world.
