How are Merry Maps Made?

1. Send us your information - we want your inspirations! We want pictures and photos of your dream wedding. Not mention the essentials - a Draft of wedding map, Date of wedding and the Venues. ( a photo of your venues will be great too)

2. Then we meet, sign contracts here and there and talk about how wonderful your map will be!

3. Back to our hives to squeeze our creative juices to create your perfect map! ( 1-2 weeks)

4. Bees will buzz out a draft for your corrections, suggestions and/or changes.

5. We tweak the map and after the final approval...

6. To the Printing press it goes! (and stay excited for lets say, about 5 to 10 days, which is probably much less than waiting for fresh honey)

7. Voila! Maps are set & ready to go!

teaser of Leah and Coy's map

Here is a teaser of Leah and Coy's Map. We had loads of fun drawing the church. The glass garden however was a bit of a challenge. It took us a few drafts to decide what colours to use. We compromised with a shade that sits in between green and blue ( for a hint of foliage and glass) which we surrounded with rose vines. Do you think they look like the original?

Leah and Coy's Wedding Inspirations

When Leah approached us for her wedding map, we were so excited, we started conceptualizing right away even if she hasn't confirmed yet.  She sent us several photos of her wedding inspirations. and what we saw.. we likey.  

We are still doing the finishing touches of the map but will update you soon. Here are several of Leah's inspirations. 

The Bride wants the colours of rose and champagne to evoke a swirl of romance in the air. The  The ceremony will be held in Glass Garden where hints of vintage victorian and sweet roses  will meet in this wedding. 

 

 

Leah's Bridesmaids will be swathed in soft chiffon.   

Map to D's Wedding

This is the map that began it all. We were planning for D's wedding and we were not satisfied with the usual maps that are inserted with the invitations. We found the usual lines impersonal and well simply - u g l y. 

So we decided to make one. It was a trial and error on our part to make the map for D's wedding. Everyone oohed and aahed and we feel pretty proud of ourselves.

Even if it took us all two nights to make it.

and forgot to save it.

and had to do it all over again.

It was worth it.

What did we get into?

Lets just call this a wedding hangover. 

The wedding we have been preparing for has ended ( D's wedding) but the wedding buzz is still with us. So we decided to start making pretty maps for all the pretty weddings out there. 

Our maps are made with lots of fuss and bickering. As to whether the sky colour be a hint of periwinkle or a creamy baby blue. As to whether we draw roses or daisies for the park.  As to whether the church tower be tall or short. As to whether we use french script MT font size 12 or Little Lord Fontleroy 10 and all the other itty bitty choices that comes with it. Sugar and spice and everything nice...

this is what maps should be made of...
