custom designed wedding invitations
Custom wedding invitations reflect who you are as a couple. They tell your love story through color, texture, and images that are personal to you. From concept to color and design I will work with you one-on-one to design truly special invitations that excite your guests the second the envelope is opened. I would love to work with you and create something truly unique and meaningful.
the custom design process
It’s recommended to start your custom invitations no later than 12 months before your wedding.
.01 Discover your style
after booking, We’ll begin with an in-depth look at your design aesthetic, your design inspiration, and vision for the overall feel for your wedding.
.02 Design concept and sketches
Once we’ve talked about your aesthetic and vision, I’ll start the design and sketch phase. This is where I pull everything together and start to bring your suite to life. we’ll refine your design, if needed, before any artwork begins.
.03 Artwork and text
this part of the process is where i start your artwork and text to get us to the final design. once your artwork is complete, i’ll email you a digital mockup of your design.
.04 Proofing, printing & assembly
the final step is proofing your text. as a custom client, you receive 5 rounds of complimentary text proofing. once approved, your files are sent to print.
qc & assembly begins once your suite is received from print.
The average investment for a Lauren Yvonne Design custom stationery client is $3,200 for 50 suites.
Design prices start at $2,500.00 for a 3pc suite and do not include printing, assembly, embellishments, etc…
