I’ve been loving the guest posts around here lately and I’m very excited to share another one with you today!
Custom wedding invitations are a beautiful, thoughtful way to set the tone for your wedding long before the big day even arrives. Since custom wedding invitations are a work of art, and also need to arrive at a certain time, you need to be organized in how you approach this part of your wedding planning. Marlene Yon, the owner & designer behind Amira Design offered to share her expertise with us and created a helpful step-by-step timeline for when to start working on each piece of your custom wedding stationery!
A little more about Amira Design:
Amira Design is a custom wedding invitation studio located in Glendale, California, and has been in business since 2009. We specialize in couture, one of a kind invitations for couples that are looking for a unique introduction to their wedding. We also provide semi-custom invitations for couples that are short on time and need their invitations in a quicker timeframe. We are always creating new designs for our semi-custom collection.
