Every bride wants their wedding to be unique and memorable. To do that, you have to ensure that it will leave an impression, from the invitations to the wedding gown and ceremony, to the wedding reception. When it comes to wedding stationery, you want someone with the skills and experience to bring your dream idea to life. You do not have to settle for a wedding invitation template.

Hiring a professional stationery designer like Pemberly Fox will ensure that your wedding stationery will be of high quality, using the most suitable paper, the correct envelopes, colour palette and printing technique. A highly skilled designer likes working with the client, giving recommendations, and working around the given budget. 

Choosing the right wedding stationery designer

You want your invitations to be one-of-a-kind, reflecting your and your partner's personality, so investing in custom wedding stationery is essential.

Part of your invitations being personalised is finding the right designer. Bespoke stationery is an investment, so you want to choose the designer to create impressive and luxurious invitations.

Check design style and aesthetics

It's vital to check the designer's portfolio. You want to make sure that the designer's style fits the design you envision. Check if the designer has the artistic capability to turn your idea into reality. If the type is more towards classic elegance and you want to have something more whimsical and fun, it is an indication that the designer's style and yours do not jive.

Working on the details

If you are hands-on with wedding planning, your mind will be swimming with various details. The content of your wedding invitation is vital. You should think of the wording, the timelines, and the etiquette. Your designer, with their skill and experience, will be of great help to you. You can give vital information, and the designer can develop the right content for you. If you have other printed materials, it is better to work with the same designer for consistency in look and feel.

Communication and personality

Choose a designer whose personality works well with yours. It is easier to communicate when the designer understands your preferences and vision. Trust the designer to ensure that you will have the perfect wedding invitation that fits what you have in mind.

Booking schedules

You should know the designer's booking requirements. If you want the entire wedding stationery suite, the designer may need you to book their services six months before the wedding. If you only need the wedding invitations, they may be able to accept you if you book two to three months in advance. Likewise, check how much deposit you need to pay. This is important because most popular stationery designers cannot hold your spot if you do not pay a deposit.

A professional wedding stationery designer can give you original ideas and incorporate your style and vision into your invitation. The designer will be willing to work with you and ensure that you are up to date with the process to ensure that your wedding invitation reflects you and your partner's vision.
