FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How far in advance should I book?
The best time to book depends on your wedding month, but generally, I recommend booking at least a year in advance. If you’re planning to send Save the Dates, booking 14 months ahead is ideal to keep everything on track.
What is your design process?
I want to get to know you—your venue location, color palette, Pinterest or mood boards, your favorite flowers, favorite New Girl character, favorite bird, favorite quote—everything that makes your heart sing (and even a few things that don’t!).
From there, I’ll dive deep into your inspiration, explore Pinterest, mood boards, and Google images, and create a concept sketch that captures your vision. I’ll send it to you as a pencil sketch and once you give it the green light, I’ll break out the paints and brushes. After a few weeks, you’ll receive a beautifully fleshed-out design to review in a PDF format.
You’ll have two rounds of revisions to make sure every detail feels just right.
The entire process typically takes 2-3 months for full suites and 1-2 months for Save the Dates.
What's the difference between custom and semi-custom?
Semi-Custom Wedding Stationery
Think of semi-custom as a thoughtfully curated collection of designs where the foundation is already beautifully established. These designs feature original hand-painted watercolors and artwork that I’ve created, and they can be tailored to reflect your wedding details—like names, dates, and color palettes. It’s perfect for couples who want an elegant, artistic touch without starting entirely from scratch. The result feels personal, polished, and timeless.
Custom Wedding Stationery
Custom stationery, on the other hand, is a completely bespoke experience where your story becomes the canvas. We begin with a blank page, and I craft every detail from scratch—illustrating original watercolor artwork and designs that are one-of-a-kind to you. Whether it’s a painting of your venue, florals that match your bouquet, or special details that hold meaning to your relationship, every brushstroke is tailored to your vision. The result is an heirloom-worthy work of art that’s as unique as your love story.
I live outside the US, can we work together?
Absolutely!
Can I hire you to do day-of stationery like menus and programs?
Absolutely! This service is available to all clients who book me for their invitation suite. We’ll start designing your day-of materials about two months before your wedding day.
I'm sold! How do I book?
I require a 50% retainer to be added to my design calendar. The remaining payment is due when your suite goes to print!
The picture created for our Save the Date was beautiful! It exceeded our expectations!! Samantha was so easy to work with and made sure everything we wanted was included. I would highly recommend her!!!
