Chic Vendor Spotlight: Twenty Pages Puts A Creative Spin On Telling Wedding Stories

Here at Merci New York, we simply love hearing {and telling} NYC love stories... so naturally, we were so excited to speak with Vincent Merlin of Twenty Pages. Twenty Pages creates unique and personalized "magazines" that tell the love story behind every wedding. As we know, there are SO many details to be shared when planning and producing a wedding. Twenty Pages is the perfect way to put an editorial spin on all the juicy details... oh yea, and the logistics too.  Take a peek!

Merci: We love the concept of Twenty Pages... What inspired you to develop the brand?

Vincent: Twenty Pages was born from the needs of our own wedding in France – we wanted to share a little bit about us, our story, and of course, the big day logistics with our guests.

Since we had a destination wedding, it was hard to convey all the information to our guests in a fun and simple way. We searched high and low and considered all the things that couples were doing – from email to wedding websites but still felt that it still didn’t quite fit our needs. So we created our magazine and the guests loved how fun AND practical it was! Many guests found it incredibly useful – from the maps to the ‘top things to do’ to the ‘what to wear’ section. It made their experience much more enjoyable and stressful free and in turn had a wonderful time at the wedding – which was what we wanted!

Merci: Sounds amazing! What do you like most about creating custom wedding magazines? 

Vincent: For me, I love to see/hear people’s reaction when they receive their magazines. It’s really their story told in a fun way.

Merci: Where do you draw inspiration from when creating magazine styles?

Vincent: We draw inspiration from many different sources but primarily from our customers, professional magazines, wedding blogs and design websites. All our designers are based in Paris and their work is naturally inspired by the latest trends in France but they also keep a close eye on what is going on in the US.

We currently have three magazine styles:  Whim was designed for the timeless romantic in all of us, Spark was inspired by of-the-moment French fashion magazines and meant for those who love to be on the cutting edge, and Jolie has a vintage and nostalgic feel.

Merci: Where did Twenty Pages begin? And where can we find it now?

Vincent: Our company began right here in New York in 2011 but all our designers are based in Paris, France. Interested couples can find and start designing their own magazines right on our website: www.twentypages.com. www.twentypages.com
