Spring Olive Wedding offers a uniquely customized wedding stationery experience. Our services can range from a custom-designed invitation only, to concepting and orchestrating all printed pieces of the wedding. Spring Olive Wedding is a great choice for brides looking for a hands-on approach and thoughtfully designed pieces at a reasonable price.
{ the process } 1.
Initial consultation:
I’ll gather any ideas or thoughts you may have about the invitations, any relevant examples and also other wedding details that could influence the design (formality, location, style, colors to name a few). I will also share print samples and rough cost estimates with you to determine what may be best for you and your budget, since the type of printing will influence the design we do.
2.
Custom price estimate:
After our initial meeting I will send a custom price estimate for design and printing based on our initial consultation.
3.
Drawing inspiration:
I will design a moodboard based on our initial meeting and share with you. This will be a one page collage of colors/images that will serve as visual inspiration for the wedding invitation design.
4.
Design:
I will present you with 1 custom design (and possibly a couple of variations of this design) for the main invitation. Once the initial design direction has been approved I will design the additional components (rsvp, reception card, thank you card, etc.)
5.
Finessing:
Included in the cost are 2 rounds of minor design and type changes, during which time I’ll make any changes necessary to make sure what I’m showing you is exactly what you want. Once we’re both excited beyond belief about everything, I’ll get final approval from you and the printing begins.
6.
Printing and finishing:
I will either be printing these myself or working closely with a trusted vendor to make sure everything is perfect. Finished items are then delivered to you, and the rest is history! If we sourced some specialty items for your suite, such as a paper wrap, ribbon embellishment or liners I can assemble these for you or deliver separately.
From start to finish, a custom wedding suite typically takes 8-10 weeks, depending on the complexity of the design desired and the type of printing chosen. Shortened timeframes may be possible if needed.
Your wedding day (and it’s corresponding paper pieces) should be a reflection of you and your fiancé’s personalities, tastes and desires.

{ about }
Hi! I’m Olivia Samson, a graphic designer, illustrator, letterpress printer & owner of Spring Olive. As a once-bride myself, I know first-hand the frustrations of looking around for the perfect wedding invitations only to be met with a sea of “pick from a book” designs and steep prices. I started Spring Olive Wedding as a way to offer custom designs for brides looking for a process and a result that is a little different than some of the other options out there. I will partner with you to design a wedding stationery suite that is perfect for you. I will take your ideas, thoughts, and inspirations to dream up a design that fits your style and your wedding’s personality. I put a lot of thought into each design to make sure it’s just what you’re looking for. I can source materials to complement the invitation, such as a paper wrap or ribbon embellishment to add the perfect finishing touch. I know about different papers and materials and can offer recommendations and expertise. I can be as involved as you would like. You can get a custom-designed invitation only, or I can help you with all of the paper-related aspects of your wedding.
I look forward to working with you!
