Step 1
Meeting
First, we like to meet you and discuss your needs. We will work closely with you to create a custom design that reflects your individual style. During the meeting, we can look at examples of our work, paper swatches, printing options and colors.
If you are located in the Chicago area, we can meet in our Wilmette studio or we can meet remotely.
Step 2
Proposal
After we meet, we will put together a design and pricing proposal based off of the design ideas we discussed in our meeting. We work in three stages: save the dates, invitations and wedding day of items.
Once you are happy with the proposal, the deposit and finalized wording are due and we get started on the design.
Step 3
Design
During the design phase, Catherine will design your custom project. We will share your design with you as a digital proof.
Step 4
Production & Delivery
At design proof approval, the second half of the payment and the final counts are needed so print production can begin.
Our team will get to work handing the printing and design production. Envelopes liners, paper layers, ribbons, and wraps are all added by hand and personally checked for quality.
Once your custom design is ready, it will be shipped to you or we can schedule a time to meet at the studio for pick up.
Step 5
Day of Paper
Once the invitations are complete, it's time to finalize your wedding day paper. Invitation pick up is a perfect time to put the finishing touches your day of stationery. We can look at samples and design ideas for escort cards, programs, menus, napkins, dance floor cups & more!
