Dearly Beeloved

What Dearly Beeloved does

Dearly Beeloved is a women-owned creative studio founded in 2018 and headquartered at 79 Westbury Ave, Carle Place, NY 11514. The company operates a one-stop-shop model providing personalized gifts, custom stationery and signage, full-service event production, rentals, and experiential activations for weddings, bridal showers, corporate events, and personal milestone celebrations. Its customer base spans individual consumers planning weddings along with enterprise B2B clients seeking branded merchandise, corporate gifts, and event activations across the Northeast US (NY, NJ, CT, PA).

The studio's capabilities rest on in-house custom production rather than software. Proprietary production methods include foil-press and monogram technology for linen book-style menus and stationery, food-safe edible printing for custom photo prints on cakes and desserts, and a novel method for producing custom printed dried fruit garnishes that preserve natural color, aroma, and texture. A specialty supply network supplements production, including a partnership with BKLN Macs for premium Brooklyn-made macarons used in personalized gift boxes. The operating portfolio is anchored by a direct-to-consumer e-commerce storefront at dearlybeeloved.com and a sales-led full-service production channel delivering concept-to-execution event fabrication.

Dearly Beeloved monetizes through multiple revenue streams. One-time D2C product sales (personalized gifts, stationery, signage, favors) are priced starting around $5-$10 per unit with quantity-based bulk discounts up to 35%, while B2B corporate gifting offers tiered 10-30% bulk pricing on items such as branded infused olive oils ($6.29-$8.09 per unit). Full-service event production packages begin at $4,000 and scale from semi-custom to fully custom design work. Experiential services under the Sauced Co. sub-brand (mobile bar, olive oil tasting from $1,500, gelato cart, bloom bar, fragrance bar) are priced per package. Wholly-owned subsidiaries include Sauced (launched 2025) and New York Event Lab, Inc. (formal expansion planned for 2026). Distribution is hybrid: a self-serve e-commerce storefront for individuals, an enterprise B2B sales division with account management and direct mailing, and a field-sales channel for full-service and rentals installations.

Direct peers

• Minted: Minted is a design marketplace offering custom stationery, wedding invitations, art prints, and personalized gifts from a community of independent designers.

• SwagUp: SwagUp is a corporate gifting and branded merchandise platform that lets businesses build, store, and distribute custom swag packs and gifts to employees and clients. It is a direct competitor to Dearly Beeloved's B2B corporate gifting division, with comparable bulk-order workflows and customization options.
• Aloomii: Aloomii is a B2B platform for designing and distributing custom branded merchandise, promotional products, and corporate gifts. It directly competes with Dearly Beeloved's corporate gifting motion in serving businesses that need bulk customized items for clients, employees, and events.
• Basic Invite: Basic Invite is an online stationery retailer specializing in fully customizable wedding invitations, save-the-dates, and event stationery with unlimited color options. It competes directly with Dearly Beeloved's stationery line for couples seeking personalized invitations and day-of paper goods.
• Caroo: Caroo is a corporate gifting and swag platform focused on curated gift boxes and branded merchandise for employee onboarding, appreciation, and client gifts. It directly competes with Dearly Beeloved's corporate gifting division in the same buyer use cases and target customer profile.

Broad incumbents

• Shutterfly: Shutterfly is a large-scale custom printing platform offering personalized stationery, invitations, photo gifts, and home décor. While far broader and more mass-market than Dearly Beeloved, it competes in the same custom-stationery and personalized-gift categories with stronger production scale.
• Etsy: Etsy is a global online marketplace for handmade, custom, and personalized goods including wedding favors, signage, stationery, and gifts. As a broad incumbent, it competes with Dearly Beeloved across many of its personalized product categories but lacks the studio's full-service event production and experiential capabilities.
• The Knot Worldwide: The Knot Worldwide operates The Knot and WeddingWire, dominant wedding marketplaces that connect couples with vendors including stationery, favors, and event décor. It is a broad incumbent overlapping with Dearly Beeloved's wedding customer acquisition channels and adjacent vendor categories.

Emerging players

• Zola: Zola is an online wedding planning platform with a registry, wedding website, and stationery offerings aimed at engaged couples. It overlaps with Dearly Beeloved in wedding invitations and registry-style gifting, though Zola's model is more platform-driven and less design-studio-led.
