About Plush
Plush Invitations is owned & operated by Dione Dashney & Alissa Mercier. Plush is a design studio specializing in custom invitations, announcements and stationery to match. Our love of stationery and attention to detail helps us translate the personal stories of our clients into paper designs that delight, create anticipation, and commemorate events. Our greatest reward is knowing we have produced cards and keepsakes our clients are proud to share and keep—today and in years to come.
About Dione
The idea of Plush Invitations was born in 2000 while I was in Interior Design school. As a starving student who was planning a wedding, I decided to make my own invitations. I loved the whole process – exploring the amazing world of paper, combining interesting textures and colours and the gratification of the finished product that I knew was perfect for my wedding. I continued to explore the world of stationery while I pursued my Interior Design career and eventually realized I was meant to design and create incredible invitations and cards.
My passion for stationery has never flickered. I love the excitement of exploring unique ideas and materials and knowing nothing is out of bounds. The best part is sharing this excitement with our clients as we delve into their passions and interests to create a unique invitation that suits them perfectly.

About Alissa
I joined Plush in 2008 as a designer/finisher and quickly fell in love with the stationery business. I rekindled my love of beautiful typography, lush papers and materials, and… who knew… discovered my hidden talent for ribbon tying. In late 2009 the opportunity arose to be part of Plush Invitation’s ownership team and I happily accepted.
Plush allows me to combine all aspects of my background –visual communication design, commerce, marketing, and jewelry design. My love lies with creating things from hand while incorporating beautiful graphic design. Nothing is more rewarding than working with a client and creating something that truly blows them away.
