The Process
Step 1 - Gather Inspiration
Gather screenshots, links, a Pinterest board, any examples of themes, colours, vibes you like. It can even be examples of art or fabrics that you love and feel reflect you best.
Step 2 - Let's Discuss
When you're ready to start thinking about your stationery, get in touch and I'll send you a questionnaire to understand what you are looking for and to check availability.
I'll then send a moodboard and quote with some different package options, and if you decide to proceed with a package, we will book in a call to meet and officially kick off your wedding stationery planning!
Step 3 - Reserve your Place
Let's get you booked in! I will then send you a contract to sign and a 20% deposit will be required to secure your spot (this will be deducted from your final bill).
Upon booking your space I will share a project timeline and set up your hosted stationery folder which will be shared with you, so you have full access and visibility over exactly what is going on at any given time (No trawling back through emails - everything will be hosted live and in one place for you!)
Step 4 - Design Phase
First stage of the design phase is initial sketches of our plans for all elements of your stationery to get an idea of the colour palettes and how the elements will tie in together.
Once the initial sketches have been approved it will be on to the design rounds, which will follow the project timelines so you know when you can expect everything for review and approval.
Step 5 - Sign Off
Once you have confirmed you are happy / absolutely in love with your wedding stationery, I will do one final proof read of everything before sending your designs off to print.
I will also begin preparing any additional elements for the assembly stage - This includes any of the extra embellishments you may have requested - ie wax seals, ribbons, calligraphy, address printing etc.
Step 6 - You've got Mail
Once back from the printers, I will thoroughly check through everything and assemble your stationery suites with care, making sure each one is perfectly packed and ready for your wedding guests to enjoy opening.
I will then get it all safely packaged up and securely posted, as per our pre-agreed timelines.
Design and Print Timelines
I have limited spaces each month, so it's best to reach out as soon as possible so we can get your booking secured. However, here is a rough guide to timelines:
Initial consultation and planning: 2-3 weeks
Design + review process: 4 weeks
Printing & assembly: 2 weeks
Total: Please allow a minimum of 3 months from intial consultation to receiving your stationary.
Recommended Posting Timelines
Save the dates: Send 9+ months before wedding date (12+ months recommended if having an abroad wedding)
Wedding invites: Send 3-6 months before wedding date if a save the date was already sent.
If sending invites only (without a save the date), send 6-9 months before wedding date.
On the day stationery: Will be sent to you 2-4 weeks before the wedding date (depending on when all guest info is finalised).
Thank you cards: Send within 3 months after wedding date.
Pricing
Stationery costs vary depending on design elements and complexity, number of guests, print finishes, optional extras etc, and all Bumble & Brown stationery is custom-made in-house. Therefore, please reach out to discuss what you would like in more detail and what your budget is, and I will check availability and send you an esitmate with some package options.
