How it works

How we work together

For couples who want a wedding that feels like them

This isn’t just wedding stationery - it’s the first chapter of your wedding story. Every design reflects who you are, not just what you like.

From the deep blue of the shutters on your venue in Tuscany, to a nod to the city where you first met, a pattern inspired by your favourite artist, or the wildflowers that remind you of home - every detail has meaning.

Your wedding stationery should feel as personal as your vows, setting the tone for a wedding that’s stylish, soulful, and unmistakably you.

We'll complete a short briefing form with key details like your wedding date, venue, quantities, and any special touches you’d love to include to give me all the inspiration needed to create your original designs with personalised details.

Your wedding stationery is more than just an invite - it’s a work of art, designed to be framed, not forgotten. Let’s create something iconic.

What wedding stationery do you offer?

I specialise in creating bespoke wedding stationery that’s as unique as your love story. I mainly offer:

Invitations
Save the Dates
On-the-day stationery (i.e. menus, order of service booklets, place names, favour labels, table plans, welcome signage, and more)

Beyond the essentials, your bespoke suite can also include envelope liners, cocktail hour menus, RSVP cards, details cards, reserved signs, thank you cards, vow books, and guest book covers.

If you have something unique in mind, don’t hesitate to reach out! I absolutely love collaborating on anything a little out of the ordinary - the more creative, the better!

How long will it take to receive my design?

The lead time is usually around 4 weeks from your confirmed slot, following finalisation of your briefing form and 50% deposit.

Creating your perfect stationery is a personal process, so I want to ensure we have the time to bring your vision to life. As I only book 3-4 bespoke suites a month, slots are reserved on a first-come, first-served basis.

If you have a tight deadline, get in touch - I’ll always do my best to accommodate your needs (please note that this may incur an additional fee for a priority service).

When should I enquire?

The sooner, the better! This gives us plenty of time to get you booked in, explore your ideas and ensure your stationery is exactly as you’ve envisioned. My general recommendation is that once you've secured your venue, the next chapter in your wedding story is your stationery.

What about sustainability?

If you're looking to make your wedding eco friendly, look no further. All of my packaging is fully recycled and plastic free and I only print on luxury, recycled or FSC certified card (which is fully recyclable). I also offer digital save the dates and invitations if you're really looking to cut the carbon footprint of your big day whilst still having stunning stationery.

Who owns the design?

All illustrations and artwork are owned by the artist and may be used in marketing materials. For anything bespoke, this will be unique to you. This is so that each piece acts as a special keepsake and unique reminder of your special day.

Do you offer returns and refunds?

Due to the custom nature of my wedding stationery, all sales are final and deposits non-refundable. Alex Hinton Design cannot offer returns, refunds, or exchanges in the event of cancellations or date changes.
