How to Find the Right Wedding Stationery Designer for You
After the big ‘Yes’, it's time to start your preparations for your wedding; how exciting! Browsing trending bridal attire for you and your other half, consulting venues, discovering the tones and decorations that suit you best – the list seems endless!
That being said, wedding stationery plays a major role on that list. It consists of several pieces that will serve to personalise your festivity down to the last detail. From invitations and envelopes to welcome signs and table numbers, all of these lovely elements will have to maintain some visual coherence for a unique visual style. They are not just pieces of paper – they will set the tone for your special day so your guests know what to expect.
If you have already set the date and have chosen a venue, the next step is to find an excellent wedding stationery designer who will lavish the space with these gorgeous details. Here are some tips to have in mind:
1. Know What You Want!
Having a clear vision of your big day's style is incredibly important. Get inspired by looking through some ideas on Pinterest or other social media platforms to decide on the colour palette and the overall aesthetics. You must have a distinct image of what you want to be able to find the perfect designer for your wedding stationery.
2. Online or Face-to-Face
While searching for inspiration for invitations cards & stationery, you might come across some wedding stationery designs that would perfectly fit into your vision for the grand celebration. And if you live in a small town that doesn’t have much to offer, online purchases will be best for you – especially if you are the type of person who rarely changes their mind once you set your eyes on something you absolutely love! You can have some samples of their work to get a feeling of the paper, printing manner, etc; but you won’t be able to see all of their samples or the full scope of their services.
On the other hand, by choosing a local wedding stationery designer, you will have the chance to meet them, see a whole palette of samples to get an idea of what they are offering and work with them along the process of making your ideal stationery.
3. Ask the Right Questions
Once you have found what you are looking for regarding the style, the next step would be to see how customisable it is! If you have a strong and specific idea, make sure your chosen wedding stationery designer can make that happen.
Both of you must be on the same page, but how can you ensure that? Here are some questions to have in mind when discussing your wedding stationery:
What materials do you use?
Can you make wedding invitation design that is out of the ordinary? (illustrations, puzzles, prescriptions, tickets)
Can you do a colour test? (Sometimes, what you see on screen differs from the printed version.)
What other services do you offer? (menus, place cards, table numbers, signage, etc.)
Do you make personalised digital invitations? (only if you want such a format.)
Since these details will complement your iconic day, the right wedding stationery designer should be able to channel your vision into these gorgeous pieces and tailor something that would reflect your overall theme and story!
