Here's how.

We create unforgettable stationery.

No.1

Consultation

Before putting calligraphy pen to paper, Sam first creates the entire concept of the event's branding. Sam imagines thoughtful and creative details that we can weave throughout the event to make guests feel welcome and delighted at every turn. We consider textures, colors, and the meaning behind every design decision so that each piece will fit together to create an immersive and cohesive experience. Together with you and your wedding planner, Sam will fine-tune this concept until it perfectly reflects who you are.

Creative Concept

Collaboration begets good design. To get every single detail just right, Sam will lead you through a series of drafts and mockups with opportunities to offer specific feedback and revisions.

Production

Finally, the SMS team handcrafts every single piece of your event. We print, fold, stitch, tie, stuff, and calligraph each element with an artful attention to detail.  Invitations and save-the-dates are mailed directly to your guests on your behalf. Wedding week designs are either shipped or hand-delivered to the event. 

First, we gather inspiration. Sam consults with you and your wedding planner to learn all the meaningful details about your lives and your relationship. Then she immerses herself in research to understand whatever it is that inspires you, whether that is French architecture or the 1990s Chicago Bulls.
