Frequently Asked Questions

Wedding creative direction defines what your wedding looks and feels like before any vendor starts working. We turn your inspiration into one clear visual concept, including a written vision, color palette, typography, florals, and design details. Your planner, florist, stationer, and other vendors then work from the same direction instead of making separate decisions that don't quite fit together.

Wedding design is everything that shapes how your wedding looks and feels: color, florals, stationery, tablescapes, signage, and how each space comes together. Some wedding designers also source and install the décor themselves. We focus on the design itself. We create the complete visual direction and the designs your vendors bring to life, so every element reads as one story.

A planner manages logistics: timelines, vendors, budgets, and the day itself. We provide the creative vision those logistics serve. We don't handle planning or coordination. We define the look and feel so your planner and vendors can execute it with confidence.

Many of our couples do. Planners are experts at execution, and a clear creative direction makes their job easier. It works especially well if you have more inspiration than you know what to do with, or if your wedding needs to bring together different cultures, spaces, or traditions as one cohesive story.

Depending on your package, deliverables include a written design concept, a visual moodboard, a curated color palette, typography recommendations, floral recommendations, custom illustrations, ceremony and tablescape designs, and a personalized design booklet you can share with every vendor. Our most comprehensive package also includes print-ready day-of designs, like welcome signs and table numbers.
