Yes, everything you see can be customised to make it your own, including the colour scheme, typographical style and content wording. If you want something completely personal, go bespoke and the possibilities are endless, including venue illustrations, maps, and monograms.

Digital printing is a four colour process of cyan, magenta, yellow and black which makes up a full colour image. It prints as a flat surface on any smooth card stock and is perfect for small print runs with a quick turnaround.

With letterpress your design is applied to a plate which is pressed into the cardstock to make an indent and gorgeous tactile finish. Letterpress inks have to be mixed to make a specific colour, and these are priced per ink, so it’s a good idea to limit the colour palette to one or two per design. Hot foiling works in a similar way, with many colour and metallic foils in a matt or shiny finish to choose from. These luxury finishes really give an exquisite premium touch to your wedding stationery that’s irresistible when you see it in person.

If you are ordering a customisable design, it usually takes between 4-6 weeks from initial consultation to the final artwork, printing and assembly. If you opt for bespoke or your design features a special print finish such as foiling or letterpress, the timeframe is 8-10 weeks. Please do email me for availability and an estimated timeline.

You’ll be emailed a proof for each item in pdf format. This gives you the opportunity to check that the wording, names, addresses, timings etc are all correct. Digital printed proofs are available at an additional charge, however printed proofs for letterpress or foiling are not possible due to the print set-up and process.

To secure your booking and begin design work a 50% deposit based on your estimated quote is required. Once artwork is finalised and you have signed off all items, the final balance payment is required prior to print production. A date will be arranged in advance for dispatch and delivery to you.

You may not need as many as you think! It’s easy to forget that most invitations go out to couples, so you’ll only need one invitation per household. It’s a good idea to order a few spares in case you have any changes to your guest list and it’s also nice to have one to hand for your photographer to capture on the day.

Once I’ve received your stationery from the printer, it is hand finished and assembled by me in the studio. This could involve making up your suite with thread, vellum wraps and wax seals, or addressing guest envelopes by hand with calligraphy if you’ve opted for this service. It will all be carefully packed and sent to you via a guaranteed next day delivery service, which will be booked with you in advance as it will require a signature. All you then need to do is take your save the dates or invitations to the Post Office and pop a stamp on! For international orders, your stationery is sent via a tracked and insured courier.
