Consultations

I wanted to share with all of you some steps to consider when designing your custom invitations.

1. Always consult an expert.
An expert will help take your ideas and elements you would like to incorporate and turn them into reality. We offer a free consultation where we sit down with our brides for a one on one. We will generally ask her to have any fabrics, colors, or photographs they may want to include or use as inspiration present for our consultation. It helps to have a theme, it can be simple like a winter wonderland or you can choose to incorporate where you met or base your theme on a favorite poem. The best thing about having an invitations designer is that every detail is custom and truly one-of-a-kind.

2. Think about color.

Color is important to create mood. It can reflect your theme, your bridesmaid dresses, or your favorite colors. We will help pick the perfect color to reflect your style and event. From green and crisp, cool in turq, classic in white, to hot and red express yourself in color!

3. Paper and boxes.

There is still the classic white and ecru cotton paper which can be very beautiful alone or embellished with warm elements such as flowers or ribbons. You now also have much more of a variety of papers to choose from. Choose from beautiful colored cotton papers to printed antique papers from Italy to Japan. Today we also have the option to box your invitation for that extra wow factor. We offers beautiful hand-made silk boxes in 100 colors to choose from. Have your designer show you the different options that suite you and your budget.

4. Print Method.

Choose from the now popular letterpress, or other classics such as engraving, offset printing, thermography,embossing, and foil stamping.

5. Embellishments.

Make the finishing touches by choosing the right embellishments for your invitation. There are ribbons, Swarovski crystals, Japanese tissue papers, you can tie it, wrap it, choose custom artwork and more!
