Our Process

1 | inquiry & complimentary consultation

Once you submit your info and we set up your free consultation together to chat over what your vision is and how I can help, I’ll should have everything I need to create your custom estimate.

2 | custom estimate

Your custom estimate will have a personalized quote based on our consultation, as well as a mood board for the design. We can provide as many quote revisions as you need that fits your needs.

3 | contract & retainer

Within your personalized estimate, you can accept your quote and provide any feedback that may affect pricing. Based on your comments, I will then email you your contract to sign and invoice. To book your design service, we require a 50% retainer with the remainder due before your pieces are finished. Specific timeline dates will be included in the contract agreement.

4 | wording questionnaire & concept sketches

Based on our initial consultation and communication of what you are looking for in your invitation suite, you will receive design sketches that will outline the direction I will be going in when creating your final artwork, illustrations and calligraphy.

5 | first design proof

The first design proof will be your first glimpse of what your custom work will look like in real life! Based on the concept sketches we worked out in the first stage, this proof will include refined artwork, illustrations, calligraphy and all the information you provided will be thoughtfully laid out throughout the design. If you are happy with everything this first proof, we can jump right to the final proof & print approval!

6 | design revisions

All project include up to two design revisions so if you would like some changes to the first proof, you have 1 additional revision where we can continue to refine your vision to be exactly what you are envisioning. Once we conclude with the proofing process, we can continue onto the final proof & print approval.

7 | final payment & print approval

Your final proof will include each element you are wanting to carefully review for any quantity, layout, informational or spelling errors. Once you sign off on the final proof, you authorize me to go ahead and start the production part of the process.

8 | production & assembly

After receiving your Proof Approval for Print, I get to work putting together your dream.

9 | your final product

Once every piece is inspected and given the Sweet Somethings blessing, I box everything with care and ship or hand deliver your product directly to you!
