The Design Journey
Step 1
Consultation Call
After you’ve submitted the enquiry form with your requirements and selected suite package, we’ll arrange a call to discuss your vision in detail. This is where we refine your stationery pieces, explore your preferred style, and ensure every element aligns with your wedding aesthetic.
Once you’re happy to proceed with your chosen package, a non-refundable 50% deposit is required to secure your booking. This ensures your place in my schedule and allows the creative process to begin.
Step 2
Initial Design Phase
We’ll go through a mood board together, exploring inspirations that align with your vision. From there, I’ll develop a draft design, ensuring that every detail reflects your unique style.
STEP 3
Painting Phase
Once the draft is approved and based on your timeline, I will begin the hand-painting process, bringing your dream stationery to life. At this stage, the remaining 50% balance will be due. You will have two rounds of feedback to request any refinements before the final artwork is completed.
Step 4
Completion
Your bespoke suite will be finalised and delivered as high-resolution digital files, ready for you to print with your chosen provider or share digitally with ease.
Frequently Asked Questions
An invitation suite is a collection of stationery pieces that provide guests with all the essential details about your wedding. While the main invitation is the centerpiece, additional pieces can include RSVP cards, details cards, reception inserts, and more. The beauty of a bespoke service is that it is entirely tailored to your needs—you can choose any combination of stationery pieces that best suit your wedding vision and logistical requirements.
Your suite will include high-resolution files designed exclusively for you. You’ll have complete freedom to print them with your preferred vendor, ensuring the best quality and pricing to match your needs.
From consultation to final delivery, your bespoke invitation suite will be ready within 2-4 weeks, ensuring a smooth and seamless experience. As I only take on a limited number of orders each month to maintain the highest quality and attention to detail, I recommend booking as early as possible to secure your place in my schedule.
Absolutely! We can finalise the main invitation first, and you can confirm any additional pieces, such as menus and place cards, closer to the wedding date. This can all be discussed during the consultation, but please allow enough time for me to complete the designs before they need to be printed.
The design process takes 2-6 weeks, but you should also factor in printing time if you’re having physical invitations made. It’s generally recommended to send out your invitations at least 3-6 months before your wedding to give guests plenty of notice—longer if you’re hosting a destination wedding. To ensure everything is ready on time, I suggest starting the process at least 4-7 months before your wedding date to allow for design, printing, and addressing.
Absolutely! I’ll be happy to recommend trusted printers and guide you on selecting the right paper and finishes for a truly high-end result.
