FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
-
WHAT CAN YOU CREATE?
Lots of things! Below is a little list to give you an idea. Everything I design is created with intention and will reflect who you are, or what you do.
Wedding Stationery: from invitations, save the dates, maps, signs, menus, order of ceremony/service, table plans, place cards, and illustrations.
Handmade books: vows books, love stories, ceremony/services.
Illustrations: venues, homes, favourite places.
Design: branding for businesses, change of address cards, menus, personal stationery.And much more!

HOW MANY WEDDING INVITATIONS DO I NEED?
I recommend you’ll need one per household + a few extras. It’s quite useful to start your Big List of guests, and (if this applies) separate them into day and evening, and weekend, etc.
-
WHEN SHOULD WE GET IN TOUCH?
Say hello even if you don’t have all the details figured out yet. As an idea, designs may take around 6 weeks to create, so if possible, get in touch a few months beforehand.
-
WE'RE SO EXCITED TO WORK WITH YOU, WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?
It starts with a friendly chat – by whatever means is best for you: over the phone, via email, video etc – all about you (no scary questions, I promise!) Tell me your plans, your story, and ideas. I will create a moodboard with ideas and then when you’re ready, get to work making.
-
I HAVE AN IDEA THAT YOU HAVEN'T MENTIONED
Let’s do it! I love experimenting, so if you have any other ideas in mind, get in touch to tell me more about them and we can discuss we can bring them to life.
-
WE ONLY NEED ONE OR TWO THINGS, IS THAT POSSIBLE?
Of course! There’s no limits or minimums of quantities for print or design.
-
IS IT POSSIBLE TO HAVE A DRAFT BEFORE GOING TO PRINT?
Yes! Once I have created your design, I will send you a digital PDF for you to feast your eyes on. I recommend getting your favourite drink, and having a good check over everything. If there are any amendments, I will send you a final PDF to check through before going to print.
-
DO YOU TAKE A DEPOSIT?
For design with printing involved, I will ask for two payments, one when we begin and one before printing.
For bespoke one-off illustrations, I only ask for one payment before starting work.
If we have scheduled your work for a future time, I will ask for a deposit to hold the date for you.
-
WHAT ABOUT SUSTAINABILITY?
I feel a responsibility to make good choices and advise you on paper stocks that not only complement your designs but also match your own values. I like to experiment with different paper types, and this definitely lends itself to finding interesting and surprising solutions.
I want your pieces to last for as long as you want to keep them, whilst at the same time, not lasting for eternity. Therefore, I do not print onto or use plastics. All the papers I currently use are FSC and PEFC certified from sustainable forests, as well as using recycled papers where appropriate.

-
AND PACKAGING?
I try to be as minimal with waste as possible. When sending out orders, I reuse as much plastic and cardboard packaging as I can, collected from deliveries in my household, and carefully open them so that they are still usable. From bubble wrap, plastic sheets, and sleeves, to cardboard boxes, air pockets, and tissue paper.
Please let me know if you would prefer plastic-free packing.
