Emily McCarthy
Emily McCarthy is a
small town girl turned
coastal living designer
whose style evokes a “soiree of geometric patterns,
splashes of prosecco and
dashes of cheetah.” Emily
gets so much inspiration
from living on the coast.
With a BA in graphic
design and photography
from LaGrange College,
she broke into the paper
industry in 2004 and
immersed herself in the
many facets of the world
of paper, as well as weddings, lifestyle branding
and more. From small
independent retail, direct
wholesale and large corporate retail to boutique
design—she’s jumped
into all of it. When she
began designing freelance

in 2004, she never
imagined that her passion would lead to the
Emily McCarthy studio,
which opened in 2009.
Since then, over 200 new
brands and more than
100 brides have gotten the
full-on Emily McCarthy
“royal treatment.” Emily
continues to work with
custom couture monogram clients weekly. She
resides in Savannah with
her college sweetheart
turned husband and their
two redheaded, blueeyed babes.
