why choose custom wedding invitations
Our couture design process for custom wedding invitations is ideal for couples with a distinct vision for their wedding design and stationery. Often, couples are inspired by various styles they’ve seen online or in magazines, but nothing fully captures their complete vision. By choosing custom invitation suites, you can integrate a variety of elements to create something truly unique.
Our bespoke approach combines contemporary layouts and printing techniques with timeless and romantic details. We begin the process by crafting a mood board or vision board with you, ensuring every detail reflects your style. Since luxury wedding invitations require time and attention to detail, we typically begin this couture process 9-12 months before your wedding day. Starting with the invitation suite, we lay the foundation for a cohesive and memorable wedding day, ensuring every piece of personalized wedding stationery complements your celebration.

investment
The cost of custom wedding stationery varies based on design complexity, printing techniques, embellishments, and the quantity required. Like shopping for a custom wedding dress, communicating your ideal budget from the beginning will help us tailor the design to meet your needs while staying within your price range. For weddings with 100 guests, our couture clients typically invest $2,000 to $3,000 for the invitation suite and $2,000 to $4,000 for day-of items and signage. Establishing your priorities early on will help us maximize your budget and set realistic expectations.
