Wedding Stationery Planning

Your dream day through wedding paper

Wedding Invitations, Luxury Wedding Invitations, Letterpress Wedding Invitations, Modern Wedding Invitations

The important first impression

Your wedding invitations are the first touchpoint of your wedding, establishing the tone of the entire day for your guests. We obsess over this moment, creating handcrafted, elevated luxury wedding paper with meaning.

step one - booking your stationer

The Planning Process

If you are planning on sending save the dates, we recommend booking your stationery soon after your engagement. We are usually fully booked for popular wedding months up to a year in advance!

After inquiring about our availability for your wedding date, we schedule a design consultation to discuss your wedding vision, color palette and budget. After, we send a custom proposal detailing our discussion, the invitation packages that are the best fit and possible print methods and enhancements.

After booking, we create a custom timeline detailing the design and proofing process and your expected mailing date.

step two - The fun begins! We start designing

The Planning Process

After booking, we schedule a formal design discussion, reviewing your wedding day designs in detail and how to bring your color palette and style to life.

This is where all the personal details and touches come in, from incorporating your favorite colors, to wedding venue illustrations and extra special touches such as vellum wraps to silk ribbons.

Then, we create a personalized design guide and realistic full-scale mockup of your stationery, featuring your color palette, paper options, mood board and your invitations.

step three - production

The Planning Process

After signing off on your design, we head into production! Depending on the print methods and paper types in your suite, invitations can take from three to five weeks to arrive back to me. We ensure everything is perfect before shipping invitations and your keepsake gift to you.

step four - day of details

The Planning Process

It is time for our favorite part! Day of Details let us translate your gorgeous invitations into special moments and touchpoints for your guests at your ceremony and reception.

We follow the same design process as for your invitations, starting with a design discussion, proposal and full-scale mockup.
