DESIGN FAQS
Can you execute the visual vision that I have for my event?
Most certainly! During the consultation, we'll ask questions to get a good understanding of your style and vision.

Do you source/coordinate rentals?
Yes! We utilize local and national rental companies to curate your desired decor elements.

What stationery components do you design?
We design save the dates, invitations + rsvp suites, programs, menu cards, thank you cards, and coordinating signage.
