why choosing custom wedding invitations
Our couture design process for custom wedding invitations is the ideal choice for those couples that have a clear vision about their wedding design and their stationery. Perhaps they are drawn to various styles and elements seen online, yet nothing fully captures their complete vision.
By integrating contemporary layouts and printing techniques with timeless and romantic touches, our couture process starts with a mood board or vision board crafted hand-in-hand with the couple. Given the extensive timeline and dedication involved, the couture process typically initiates at least 9-12 months prior to the wedding. Starting with the invitation suite, it establishes the foundation for all wedding stationery, ensuring a cohesive and memorable celebration.

investment
The prices for our custom wedding stationery can vary significantly based on various factors,
including layout, printing choices, embellishments, and, of course, the required quantity.
Due to the very different amounts of personalization that a custom design might have, our custom suites are priced on a case-by-case basis. Very much like shopping for a dress, while working on a custom design for stationery it is always a good idea to communicate your ideal budget to your stationer ahead, this will allow us to tailor our offer to what you need and what is in your ideal price range.
For a wedding of 100 guests, our couture client’s typical investment is $2000 to $3000 for the invitation suite,
and $2000 to $4000 for day-of items and signage.
Defining your priorities early in the process is the best way to maximize your overall budget,
and set realistic expectations.
