Behind the Scenes of Our Custom Wedding Invitation Design Process

We believe that every wedding deserves a personalized touch, and your wedding invitations are the perfect place to start. Our custom design process is all about bringing your unique vision to life, from the very first idea to the final designs. Whether you’re dreaming of elegant, modern, or whimsical details, we work closely with you to create beautiful, high-quality pieces that set the tone for your special day. In this post, we’ll walk you through our step-by-step process to show how we craft wedding invitations and signage that reflect your style and personality.

It all starts with a questionnaire and a meeting.

When it comes to creating a wedding invitation suite that perfectly captures the essence of your big day, we believe the details matter. That’s why we start our design process with a comprehensive questionnaire that helps us gather all the important information about your wedding.

This questionnaire is more than just a list of names and dates—it’s a reflection of your unique vision for the day. We ask about key details like your names, wedding date, venue, and style inspiration, along with any specific colors, themes, or personal touches you envision for your wedding stationery. This gives us a complete picture of your wedding, which we refer back to throughout the entire design process.

At the end of the questionnaire, we’ve also included a scheduler for you to book a one-on-one call. This call is where we dig deeper into your needs, wants, priorities, and the overall vibe you're hoping to create for your wedding. It’s the perfect opportunity to connect and ensure we’re aligned on your vision before we begin crafting your custom designs.

Bringing Your Vision to Life

Once we’ve gathered all the details from your questionnaire and our call, we’re ready to start the design process. We use Adobe Illustrator, a professional design tool, to ensure that we are creating the highest quality artwork for your printed invitations. High quality artwork is the foundation to creating a beautiful invitation suite.

We begin with a blank canvas, allowing your unique inspiration to guide us. Whether it’s a specific color palette, theme, or personal touches, we carefully weave those elements into each design. Every detail is thoughtfully crafted to reflect the essence of your wedding day, creating a stunning and cohesive invitation suite that gives your guests a beautiful first look into your wedding day.

The design process is where the magic happens, and we dedicate a significant amount of time to ensure every element is thoughtfully crafted. We start by carefully reviewing the inspiration you’ve shared, taking special note of the details that make your wedding unique, such as florals, color schemes, and any special motifs. These elements become the foundation of your stationery and signage, influencing every design choice.

One of the key aspects of our process is selecting the perfect font pairings. We understand how important it is for typography to complement the overall aesthetic, so we spend time choosing the perfect combination of fonts that are both elegant and easy to read. From there, we refine the layout, balance the text with visuals, and add in every small detail—from borders to decorative flourishes—ensuring that the final design feels cohesive and truly reflective of your wedding day vision.

It’s this attention to detail that sets our designs apart and makes your custom pieces truly one-of-a-kind.

Choosing Envelopes & Creating Statement-Making Envelope Liners

When it comes to wedding stationery, the envelope is just as important as the invitation itself—it’s the first thing your guests will see when they receive your invitation. That’s why we carefully select envelopes that not only complement the overall design but also add a touch of elegance and style. Whether you prefer classic white, soft pastels, or bold colors, we choose envelopes that enhance your suite and set the tone for your celebration.

To make the unboxing experience even more memorable, we love to create envelope liners that make a statement. The liner is the first piece your guests will see when they open the envelope, so we ensure it’s a stunning introduction to the rest of your invitations. Whether it’s a pop of color or a floral pattern the envelope liner is the perfect opportunity to add an extra layer of personalization and creativity, making the entire invitation experience feel more special.

Bringing It All Together

From the first consultation to the final design, our custom process ensures every detail of your wedding stationery and signage reflects your unique vision. We’re here to help you create pieces that not only look beautiful but also set the perfect tone for your celebration. Let us bring your dream wedding to life, one design at a time!
