About

The first architectural lead wedding design service. After years of training in architecture I found my love of design and project delivery through my own wedding designing items for my wife.....She was a tough client with high standards.

You’re probably wondering what is a 'wedding designer' and what do we do as a design service. Well we cover anything from wedding stationary to bespoke wedding gifts or products. If you want fancy place holders with your name as a crest we can design it. You want something so bespoke it sounds so strange to say it out loud…guess what, we have you covered. As a designer it’s my job to design cool things and make them. That’s why we are a maker studio. We don't just do pretty inviations with gold foil we design a suite of items to match your day. You can have as little or as much as you want from custom vases, to your own newspaper.

We are here for the ‘real wedding experience’ no Etsy products to be found here. We are not a single design and swap out the name on the invitation kind of studio. We design everything from scratch…mostly. This ensures your getting exactly what you want which is key.

Sustainble wedding design ethos and practises to ensure your getting the most out of your day and not just chucking it the next. You wouldn't order an architectural extension off etsy? so why not give your wedding the same care. Make all your memories last.

Some key infomation:

Printing:

We don't include printing in our pricing purely because we like to work with a few printers as some are more affordable for other items whilst some only produce specialist things. There's no need to pay top buck for all the printing so don't worry we will tender the package for you.

Exclusions:

See exclusions on our website.

Beautiful bespoke wedding keepsake

We absolutely love the beautiful Japanese lantern box Dom created for our wedding. What started as us thinking we’d have a simple post box turned into a completely unique piece that perfectly matched our wedding. Dom sourced the exact colour we were looking for and showed us just how much was possible with a bespoke design.

The craftsmanship and attention to detail are incredible, and one of the best things about it is that it wasn’t just for our wedding day. We now have a beautiful keepsake that we’ll be able to display and enjoy for years to come, making it even more special.

We couldn’t recommend Dom highly enough if you’re looking for something unique, beautifully made, and created with real care and creativity. Thank you for making such a special part of our wedding!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
