Wedding invitations are the first thing that your guests will see and will get in touch with your wedding day… It is as important as venue, your dress, flowers…
Wedding papers represent your style, sense for detail and emotions.
If you are a person that pays attention to details, contemporary style, elegance, minimalism and beauty of nature, our wedding stationery is the right choice for you!

In our guide you can find all the useful information that you need to know about the wedding stationery and timeline.

Process

As we are offering only fully custom wedding stationery at the moment, we will cooperate throughout whole process, from the beginning till the end, to create wedding papers that are unique, original and according to your personal ideas and wish.

Step 1
We will get in touch via email, phone call, skype call… any kind of (social) media way that is suitable for you to make you feel comfortable. We will discuss your ideas and inspiration, your timeline and budget.

Step 2
We will finalize your booking, talk about paper and printing options, colour palette and ask you for more details necessary for invitations (we have a questionnaire to be filled up for you which is also a big helper to prevent any text/name misspelling), also possible embellishments options.
At this point we will also prepare a custom price list for your wedding stationery (shipping and taxes will not be included yet).

Step 3
As soon as we have our first concepts of the design ready (usually 3 concepts to choose from) we will send them to you so you can pick your favourite and we will work on last details (layout, characters check, final amount confirmation) before sending the design to print.
From this moment you just relax and look forward to receive your beautiful wedding papers…
