  • How do I get started on a project?
    Simply fill out the inquiry form on the website or email directly with details about your project. Carolyn will follow up to schedule a consultation and guide you through the process.
  • What is your process for custom commissions?
    Each project begins with a consultation to discuss your vision, style preferences, and timeline. From there, Carolyn creates a tailored design plan, shares drafts for your review, and finalizes the piece with your feedback to ensure it’s perfect.
  • What is your editing process for custom designs?
    The editing process is a collaborative effort to ensure the final design perfectly aligns with your vision. After the initial concept is created, you’ll receive a draft to review. At this stage, you can request adjustments to elements like color, layout, or text. Typically, 2–3 rounds of revisions are included, but additional edits can be accommodated for an extra fee. Carolyn works closely with you throughout this process to refine the design until it feels just right.
  • How long does it take to complete a project?
    Timelines vary based on the complexity and scope of the commission. For example, custom invitation suites may take 4–8 weeks, while original art pieces might require additional time for detailed work. During the consultation, Carolyn will provide an estimated timeline.
  • Can I request a rush order?
    Rush orders may be accommodated depending on Carolyn’s current schedule. Additional fees may apply for expedited projects.
  • What’s included in your wedding invitation suite design?
    Invitation suites can include invitations, RSVP cards, envelopes, envelope liners, and additional inserts like maps or details cards. Carolyn can also design complementary day-of materials like menus, place cards, and signage.
  • Do you work with clients outside of weddings and events?
    Yes! In addition to wedding and event materials, Carolyn offers services like branding, custom crests, original prints, and more. Whether you’re an individual or a business, her work is tailored to suit your needs.
  • Can you match a specific color palette or style?
    Absolutely! Carolyn specializes in creating cohesive designs that align with your desired aesthetic, whether it’s a specific color palette, theme, or style.
  • Do you offer digital files or only physical products?
    Both options are available! Carolyn can provide high-resolution digital files for branding or prints, and physical items like invitations, menus, or hand-painted pieces can be delivered depending on your needs.
  • Can you work with an existing design or logo?
    Certainly! Carolyn can incorporate an existing design or logo into a project or refine it to better fit your current vision.
  • Who owns the copyright to the designs, and how can brands use them?
    For custom designs, Carolyn retains the copyright as the original creator, but clients receive a license to use the designs for their intended purpose (e.g., branding, event materials). For brands, this means you can use the artwork across platforms like your website, social media, and printed materials as agreed upon in the contract. If you require exclusive rights or wish to use the design for additional purposes, Carolyn can discuss extended licensing options.
  • Do you offer gift options?
    Yes, Carolyn’s custom prints, crests, and original art pieces make wonderful, personalized gifts for special occasions. Gift certificates are also available.
  • What makes your designs unique?
    Each piece Carolyn creates is entirely custom and handcrafted, emphasizing the personal story and style of each client. Her work blends artistry with thoughtful design to create meaningful, one-of-a-kind pieces.
  • How much do your services cost?
    While pricing depends on a number of variables, Carolyn charges a $400 flat design fee for smaller projects (i.e. holiday cards, stationary, birth announcements, etc.). In the wedding category, couples should expect a design fee of $2,500+ (this excludes the cost of printing, paper, and any other event collateral). A detailed customized quote will be provided based on your specific requirements.
