Creative process
Timeline walkthrough
Creative direction
-
The countdown is feeling real and your Pinterest board is brimming with ideas and you’re freaking out a little because - eek, you love them all! We chat through your favourites and narrow down a clear list of the core of what you love along with the details that will make your stationery design not just ‘pin-able’ but meaningful and personal to you and your loved ones.
We discuss your timelines and needs for the various stationery items on your must-have list.
SKETCHES & design
-
With your notes and ideas I get painting and sketching, thinking about the textures and presentation of the final design from the very beginning. Carefully crafting your dream, keepsake piece I’ll arrive at 2-3 versions for us to chat through and settle on the one you love the most that we’ll go on to tweak and add the finishing touches to.
REVisions & the little details
-
We’re almost there and you and I are swooning over the idea of the finished pieces. With your feedback I’m perfecting colour palettes, typography, patterns and the illustration.
We discuss any additional material details and how they will be included in the final assembly.
PRINT, PREP -DELIVER
-
You’ve fallen in love and we’ve tweaked every detail to create a wedding invitation suite that tells your love story and introduces your guests to the look & feel of you big day. We validate your approval, prep files for transfer if digital and print for printed items.
Printed items are cut, assembled and delivered to your door.
FAQ
+ How long is the project?
It may vary from one bride to another and the quantity of the order but generally 3 - 5 weeks. We discuss all deadlines up front so I know when you need each piece by.
+ What is the payment plan?
I require a 50% deposit on project start and the remaining 50% when we've completed your stationery design before it goes to print or sending digital final files.
+ do i need to book?
Projects spaces fill up pretty quickly, it's always best to book at a minimum of 1 month in advance or pop me a message to see what availability is like with your wedding date in mind.
+ Do I need to order all my stationery at once?
First items on this list are always your save-the-date and invitations, as we complete these pieces we can go through and finalise your list. When we start it is preferable to know which stationery items you want for on-the-day even if numbers and the details are still to be confirmed.
+ CAN WE MEET IN PERSON?
I am based in Cape Town, South Africa so if you're in town - absolutely! Alternatively, I'd love to 'meet' you one screen to another over Skype or Whatsapp to discuss your wedding stationery designs.
+ DO YOU DO digital designs?
Save-the-dates, invitations and thank you cards are available as digital designs. It is possible to have a custom package of both printed and digital invitations & save-the-dates.
