& proroposal

This first step involves an in-person or video meeting where you will browse through a wide variety of invitation samples, high-quality paper swatches, specialty ribbons, unique paper enclosures and decorative embellishments. Experiencing the tactile nature of these elements helps inspire the overall design. The options are limitless, but together we narrow down your preferences into a cohesive pallet. lemon drops cake.
Within a week of the meeting, I will propose a design concept and cost estimate for you to review. This will include a description of the materials that will be used in the invitation suite. You can approve the estimate, and pay a 50% deposit.

proof approval
Depending on the complexity of the design you can expect a digital proof within 1-3 weeks. During this time I may send a few emails to get your opinion on various design elements to ensure I’m truly capturing your vision. We will revise and modify until the layout and copy are just right, then I will send you a final proof.
The final proof gives us one last chance to review any details that may have been overlooked during the design process (spelling, dates, addresses, etc.) and confirm the final quantity.
