Custom Process

I work directly with each couple through every stage of the process. To get started, request a price quote or feel free to send me a note with any questions you may have. You may also order complimentary paper samples to be able to touch and feel the quality of each paper stock first-hand.

Getting Started

Once you decide to place an order, I will email you a simple form asking about the details of your wedding to get the ball rolling. I will then work on the first draft of your artwork and provide you with an electronic proof.  We will collaborate over email to make sure you absolutely love the final artwork. 


Customizations

All design suites can be customized through font selection and color palette at no additional charge.  Have something unique in mind (pet portrait, envelope liners, etc)? Get in touch!
