one-of-a-kind bespoke wedding invitations and complete stationery suites
Your venue, a colour you keep coming back to, a little detail from your story together. There are so many places a beautiful design can begin. My bespoke service gives us the freedom to explore those possibilities and create something entirely yours, from your invitations to your place settings.
You don’t need to have everything worked out. Part of the beauty of bespoke is discovering what’s possible together, and I’ll bring plenty of ideas of my own. We’ll develop a design you love, then explore how it can carry through your celebration.
Each bespoke commission is designed and hand-finished by me, Carrie. Drawing on my background as an Art Director, I think about the whole picture while happily getting caught up in the smallest details. I’ll guide you through the whole process, right up to the moment your finished pieces are in your hands.

Bespoke Investment
Every wedding is different, so final pricing depends on quantity, format and finishes.
As an example:
For a 100 guest wedding, requiring around 60 invitations, a bespoke two-piece suite with coordinating envelopes starts at around £2,000, including design and production.
More elaborate suites, with additional pieces, intricate formats or specialist print finishes, require a higher investment. Save the dates and wedding-day stationery are quoted separately depending on the pieces you’d like.
You’ll receive a personalised indication of the full investment before we begin creating your bespoke stationery.
I’d love to hear about your plans and what you’re dreaming of creating.
I only take on a limited number of bespoke clients each year to ensure every design receives the time and attention it deserves. Early enquiries are recommended.While weddings are at the heart of what I do, I also create bespoke stationery for other milestone celebrations, from christenings and anniversaries to birthdays and beyond. Please ask me for a quote.

Discover the bespoke stationery process
-
Fill out the enquiry form or email me at hello@honeybeemine.co.uk and tell me a little about your wedding and what you have in mind. I’ll come back to you with the most suitable next step.
-
We’ll arrange a relaxed chat to explore your ideas and answer any questions. If you’d like to move forward, your design fee secures your place in my diary.
-
Around three to four months before you plan to send your first piece, we’ll have a design consultation to shape the direction of your stationery. I’ll create one or two mood boards to bring the ideas together before design begins.
-
Around 3 to 4 weeks later, you’ll receive your bespoke design proposal. Two rounds of refinements are included so we can perfect the details together.
-
Once everything feels just right, I’ll prepare your final digital proofs for approval, along with your production invoice. Final sign-off and payment are required before printing begins.
-
I’ll liaise with my trusted print partners to make sure every piece is beautifully produced. Depending on the finishes we’ve chosen, this stage usually takes 2 to 4 weeks.
-
Every element is hand-finished by me and carefully checked before it leaves the studio. This is where all those little details really come together.
-
Your finished stationery arrives fully assembled, beautifully packaged and ready to share with your guests.
-
If I’m also creating your wedding-day stationery, I’ll reserve time in my schedule and we’ll pick things up again closer to your celebration, once your final details are confirmed.
