The Design Process

Design Guide
01

Exploration

We’ll start with a small exploration session, where we will get into the finer details of the aesthetics of your stationery, and go through all the possibilities available to you within your budget. We discuss what you particularly liked from your complimentary moodboard, and build on this to define the look and feel for your stationery.

02

Content Planning

Following our exploration session, I will send you a series of content forms to fill out, where you will write all the written words that you would like on your items. It’s important that all of your written content is finalised and passed back to me before your slot in the studio schedule begins.

03

Design

Now the really exciting part begins! I will take your written content, together with the design details we have discussed, and bring these together to create your stationery designs. Your designs are then presented to you as a digital PDF for you to review.

04

Print & Delivery

Following sign off of your designs, your stationery is printed by trusted suppliers, and assembled by me, where I carry out a quality inspection on each piece. I then package everything with love and care, ready for delivery by carefully selected couriers.

Timelines

When should you order your stationery?

My bespoke stationery process takes a minimum of 3 months, which means you should always aim to enquire at least 3-4 months before you need to send your save the dates or wedding invitations out.

Timelines

Save the Dates

I recommend that Save the Dates are sent out around 6 months before, and are enquired about a minimum of 9 months before your wedding. For destination weddings, you should aim to send your save the dates 9-12 months before, and enquire 12-15 months before your wedding.

Timelines

Wedding Invitations

I advise that wedding invitations are sent out around 3 months before, and enquired about a minimum of 6 months before your wedding. For destination weddings, I recommend that you send invitations a minimum of 4 months, and enquire a minimum of 7 months before your wedding date.

How to order

How does the ordering process work?

Research

Whether you have a vision in mind for your stationery, or you’re easy going and would like to be inspired, have a browse through my wedding portfolio, start a wedding board on Pinterest and read through some wedding blogs to get a feel for what you are looking for in your stationery. This will really help you as we go through the consultation phase.

Confused by wedding stationery terminology? I’ve written a helpful, free design guide which will help you understand all the design options available to you.

Enquiry & Questionnaire

The next step is to enquire via my bespoke stationery enquiry form. Following your enquiry, I will get in touch and send you a quick online discovery questionnaire. We will then organise a 20 minute consultation, either by phone or email (whichever you prefer). If you’re based around North Yorkshire, I’d love to meet you in person and have a chat over coffee instead!
