F & Qs

​

When should I send my save the dates and invitations?

As a general rule, I recommend to send your save the dates a year before your wedding, and your invitations 4-6 months before. If you’re not going for save the dates, then send your invitations a little sooner.

​

When should I order my wedding stationery?

For templates suites, the process usually takes 6 weeks from design to delivery. For bespoke suites, the process usually takes 2-3 months from design to delivery. I’d recommend booking in advance in order to secure your studio slot.

​

How is the stationery produced?

Special printing such as letterpress and foil are printed by a trusted selection of handpicked suppliers. Other printing is done by me and the finishing and assembly of your stationery is also done by me to ensure each and every piece is made to perfection. 

​

What is hot foil printing?

It is a printing technique that is used to create a special finish of the printing products, by applying metallic or pigmented foil to the surface. A metal stamping plate needs to be manufactured for each design from a solid block of metal. It leaves a embossed foil into the print.

​

What is digital foil printing?

Digital foiling as a print method is just as its name implies. That is to say—it’s completely digital. This technique is simple but effective, as the foil finish applies itself to the paper directly from a computer file. This file will tell the digital foil machine exactly where the foil finish needs to print onto the paper. Digital printing is extremely cost-effective and will have a faster turnaround time than traditional foiling techniques. The end product will be flat with lamination, without any texture or debossing.

​

What is letterpress printing?

Letterpress is the oldest form of printing. In this method, a surface with raised letters is inked and pressed to the surface of the printing substrate to reproduce an image in reverse.

​

I’ve already booked but I need to change the quantity of my stationery. Is that possible?

Yes, you can change your quantities right up until the point of production. Please bear in mind that if you need to reduce your quantity, the unit cost will be higher than your original quote due to factoring in design and set up time, as well as material costs. The cost will be added or deducted from your final payment.

​

Do you do venue illustrations?

Yes! I hand draw the venue and then amend it digitally for print. I will also send you it as jpeg for you to keep. A venue illustration costs £80.

​

Do you do calligraphy?

On the majority of my designs, I hand write your names which is then amended digitally for print. If you would like to keep this as a separate file please request this and I'd be happy to send over. I also offer handwritten name cards. If you would like any bespoke calligraphy, please feel free to get in contact.
