Before we can begin our design process, it is essential that we understand your style and vision for your special day. Filling out the form on our Contact page is the best way for us to gather some initial information about your event details.

From there, you’ll receive a link to create a client portal login. This portal space will be an organized way to communicate back and forth, send and receive files, and upload inspiration images. If desired, we will set up a time for a phone or video call to further discuss your vision and needs.

After we have discussed the budget and details for your project, we will send over a Retainer Payment + Contract.

Your start date is secured by a signed contract and processing a retainer payment. These completed files will lock in our availability to provide event styling services for your day, and covers initial design time for your Personalized Design Experience.

This is a one-time, non refundable payment. If you work with us over several dates (for example a bachelorette, bridal shower, and wedding day) a separate contract will be sent for each date.

Next, you will receive a personalized, comprehensive questionnaire that that will gather the necessary information we will need to guide you through your Personalized Design Experience.

We’ll ask you about everything from event location and time frame, to desired font and color choices. The questionnaire is intended for you to fill out to the best of your ability - don’t stress about “doing it wrong”, you can always change your mind later!

This helps us to eliminate a lot of the guess-work, ensures we are on the same page, and guarantees a smooth design phase.

Meraki Experience Collection

• The Meraki Experience Collection is our most chosen, and best for clients’ who are looking for the full-service, luxurious design experience. We’ll work together to build out your own pieces with a never before seen look.

Platinum, Gold, and Silver Collections

• Our remaining Collections are designed to combine ideal pieces with a set budget in mind in each of our four service categories. Add-ons can be applied to any collection for an additional cost.

This is where the magic happens!

We will work one-on-one with you to bring whatever that vision is to life! After your retainer + contract are processed and your questionnaire is submitted, we ask for a minimum of 2 weeks to create your first proofs. These options will be digitally sent to you in a Pitch Document, outlining our initial design recommendations.

From there, we will continue to tweak and revise designs to make sure everything is absolutely perfect for you!

• Based on our near final designs, we will compile a list of the needed materials + supplies to create your custom pieces. We’ll make adjustments as needed to ensure we’re on track with budget and timeline.

• This second out of three installments will be taken to cover the costs needed for us to move into production.

• Based on our near final designs, we will compile a list of the pieces included in the collection, including both material and labor costs.

• The Platinum, Gold, and Silver collections include only this second installment, and will also include costs for any desired add-ons.

The last step before moving into production is for you to sign off on some Final Proof Approvals. You’ll review them carefully, and check off each mockup to approve its final design. This confirms spelling, formatting, sizes, colors, fonts, etc. to allow us to move forward.

Once this approval is submitted, no further changes can be made. Anything needed from this point forward will be treated as a separate project. When we receive this processed approval, we will immediately begin production on your pieces and get printing, laser cutting, painting and assembling!

Once we receive your final approval on each of your designs, we can begin production!

This step involves printing, laser cutting, painting, assembling, and anything that may be needed to make the digital version of your design into a physical product for your special day.

Dependent on detail and complexity, this process can take up to 3-5 weeks. You may also request a rush service if you need the project completed sooner for an additional fee.

Once production is complete you will be sent a final payment covering delivery, postage and shipping reimbursement, assembly, and personalized design experience time.

We calculate personalized design experience time by keeping track of the amount of time it takes us to design, revise and produce each of your products. Shipping, delivery, or postage costs will be added on if necessary.

The balance will be due before client pick-up, shipping, or delivery.

Once any outstanding payments have been made, your custom pieces are ready to be shipped, delivered or picked up!

We hope you enjoy and we can’t wait to create with you!
