The key benefits of choosing to work with a designer on bespoke on the day stationery pieces to help your wedding vision come to life

If you're planning your wedding reception, you may of already chosen the perfect decorations that compliment your colour scheme and suit your style, but you might still be looking for the perfect 'on the day' stationery pieces that will help complete your wedding vision, so that everything ties nicely together. 

You could be searching for absolutely ages trying to find the perfect menus, place cards table numbers, table plan and signage that work beautifully alongside everything, or you could make life easier for yourself and choose to work with a wedding stationery designer like me, to create something that's tailored to you and your design.

I can help you bring everything together so that it matches your colour scheme, compliments your style, suits your vibe, helps weave in your love story and most importantly, blends seamlessly into your surrounding decor. In today's post blog I am sharing 4 of the main benefits to you of why working with a designer could be the best choice for you.

Wedding stationery is thoughtful as well as aesthetically pleasing

First, let's get one thing straight though, on the day wedding stationery is part of your decorations, I just hate it when it's classed as an add on, because these pieces are just as important as everything else. From the smallest details on the plates through to the bigger signage, it will all be noticed. Adding menus, name cards, table numbers, table plans and signage are not just there to look aesthetically pleasing, they are there as thoughtful touches for your guests too. If you love the little details like me, I'm sure you already understand this though! 

Table numbers & table plans help your guests find their table, place cards & welcome signs create a warm welcome for your guests to their seat and menus allow guests to know what they will be eating or remind them on what they chose before hand, providing a thoughtful touch they will appreciate is there. Other on the day signage is also useful for letting your guests know what you want them to do or provide them with extra information. Without these finishing touches the decor would look incomplete and feel unfinished. 

So let's dive into what the four main benefits are, so it helps you decide whether you want to take this approach yourself.

Bespoke wedding stationery means you can tailor it to your unique vision

When you are working on bespoke design with a wedding stationery designer, they will be working from scratch with you, which paves the way for fresh ideas using you and your wedding day as the inspiration. With my service I get to know my couples via a video call at the beginning, so I can use their interests, personalities and wedding vision to create something that is tailored to them so that it's truly theirs. You'll get to be involved in the design process, from choosing colours, font styles, wording, textures and finishing touches which makes this part of planning a more enjoyable process for you, so that you get exact what you want from the process and you'll feel more excited to see it come to life. Which is not always doable when you buy pre-made designs, there-fore you can end up feeling disappointed with the results. And also why choose what everyone else can have when you can create something different for your day.

It's worth noting that it doesn't have to be a whole collection of pieces to be worthy of a bespoke design, it could just be a bespoke menu you need, or a personalised sign that you want making. I don't have set rules like that, and am more than happy working on one off pieces for couples.

Wedding stationery that blend seamlessly into your decor

The perks of working with me in particularly on your 'on the day' wedding stationery is that I bring my wedding styling skills into the mix. I will be considering how each stationery piece is going to be styled, making sure it blends seamlessly into your surrounding decorations. So for example with your name cards, I will be taking into account how they will be styled on your place settings. Considering how the napkins are styled, how the cutlery is set and what glassware is being use, so that I can suggest creative and suitable ideas that tie in perfectly and compliment the look & vibe you're going for, so that it all looks and feels cohesive together. I also love designing bespoke table plans for couples, so that the stationery becomes part of the whole design and not an after thought.

Create lasting wedding keepsakes your guests can take home

Most guests who attend your wedding will save their place setting from your wedding reception, they just love to keep things with their name on them, so they are more likely to treasure it as a keepsake to remember the day. So name cards that are highly decorative are really worth splurging on. I love adding dried flower arrangements to name tags and adding finishing touches like fun tassels and wax seals, as they feel extra special and have a luxurious touch that makes guests want to keep them. Guests also save menu cards if they have their name on them and personalised favours will also be saved, as guests really appreciate these personal details. It's a fantastic chance to create something you need to have and elevate the experience for your guests, which will in return turn into a lasting memory.

You can rest assured that everything will be well thought about. With my service I not only provide advice to support your decisions that are right for you, I also provide digital proofs of the individual designs as we go. I can also help my couples clearly visualise what their 'on the day' stationery will look like styled if they need me to, with physical & digital mock ups removing all the guesswork.
