To begin the ordering process, a free, no obligation design consultation is highly recommended (see our Concierge Service for more information). This consultation may be in person or over the phone (if you choose or modify an existing design).
During this consultation:
- You will have access to our sample book to review existing designs and discuss your wedding concepts and goals.
- We’ll help guide you in deciding on an existing design, a modified design, or a completely custom design.
We provide our Stationery Order Form and Event Worksheet which are great tools for organizing your information. If you don’t receive them at a consultation, they can be easily downloaded from our web site. Feel free to contact us with any questions or to assist you in completing your forms.
Once you decide on a concept, it will only take about two weeks for us to create a proof representing what the final product will look like.
- Proofs of your final design and all coordinating pieces will be mailed to you. If your design is completely custom or very complicated your proof may be presented in person.
- When you receive your proof, review it very carefully for spelling of names, locations, dates, etc.
- Once we have been notified of any minor adjustments or changes, and receive final approval, (via signed proofs), we will begin production. If you require minor copy changes or corrections, further proofs will be faxed or e-mailed, and any further approvals will be made in this manner. Major design changes will incur additional costs.
After your consultation (phone or in person), a custom quote and contract will be presented, mailed, or e-mailed to you for review. At this time you will need to sign and return the contract with your deposit* in order to move forward with creating a proof. The final balance* is due upon approval of your proof, so that we may begin production.
*Currently payments can be made via cash, check, or credit card convenience check.
You can expect your complete order shipped via carrier or delivered to you in person, approximately four to six weeks from the time we receive final approval of your proof and final payment. Upon delivery please inspect all your items, and notify us immediately if you have any questions or concerns.
