Unique Wedding Branding

We create timeless designs that make you feel like a luxe brand!

 
 

the custom process

 

1:1
100% dedicated, custom experience to create your wedding vision. I want to hear what type of looks you’re gravitating towards.

creative alignment
Based on our consult, I’ll provide you a tailored moodboard that showcases overall creative vision and inspiration.

branding
Next, I’ll begin the design process where I’ll do a deep dive into typography to create your custom branding consisting of couple’s monogram (logo featuring initials) as well as lockups with last name and wedding info.

From there, I’ll mock up anywhere from 2-3 design options to work from.

 

editing
After you review your designs digitally and provide initial feedback I may ask to hop on call with any questions I may have. 
Edits are unlimited, though couples usually don’t need more than 3 rounds

production + delivery
Once you’ve signed off on your digital proofs, your stationery will be sent to printer. 

When your stationery arrives, we will manually handle quality control to ensure all assets are looking as they should.

Pickup in Monmouth County, New Jersey. Shipping within the US is available upon request.

 

faq

  • The design process, including consultation, takes up to 3-4 months.

    Time will vary based on your custom order.

    Quick engagement? No worries! We’ll work with you on an expedited timeline if needed.

  • The standard timing to mail wedding invitations is six to eight weeks prior.

    If you’re having a destination wedding you could mail out 6-12months prior.

    I also recommend dodging major holidays so your invite won’t get lost in holiday mail. Mail before or after December.

  • Not at all! If you do, great, but it is not required. If you think you have an idea, I’d love to hear what you’re thinking, but I’ll ask the right questions during our consult to gather what I need to get started.

  • Because custom stationery is fully unique to each client, pricing can vary based on many factors including the number of invites needed, the desired print process (digital v letterpress), and the embellishments selected

    Our couples typically invest around $1400-4000 for custom designs
