There’s no denying it’s all about cactus everything at the moment, am I right?! When Sheryl contacted me to design her and Aman’s cactus wedding invitation, I knew exactly how I wanted them to look! And the funny thing is, the final invitation turned out just how I pictured it.
Typically in the first round of proofs, I provide several different options of the invitation only. Once my clients choose their favorite, I design out the rest of the pieces. I like providing options. Maybe sometimes I give too many. But this method works well for me because I’m able to give choices and not have to spend so much time up front fully building out each of the designs (knowing that only one will be chosen).
When I sent Sheryl the design options, she picked her favorite, I built out the rest of the design suite, and we placed the order. WA-LA. I think I actually emailed her once more than I typically do to ask if she was sure she didn’t have any changes because the whole process went so quickly.
I saw Sheryl last month at my cousins baby shower and mentioned how little revisions she had to my designs, and her response really stuck with me. She said she hired professionals for a reason, they are the experts. She gave them initial thoughts and then trusted them to execute because they know best. YOU GUYS. This was music to my ears. And seriously made me think about my own outlook on working with other professionals. Because she is SO right. I do my best work when people give me all of the information I need, and then let me create their vision. It’s a great reminder that I need to do the same when working with others.
Not to mention, her and Aman’s wedding was drop. dead. gorgeous. She truly did trust her vendors and it shows! Every single detail is amazing. Take a look and let me know what you think! I hope you love this cactus wedding invitation {and entire event!} as much as I do.
