general information
   
What is the difference between R2W and custom?
Our Ready2Wear line is our predesigned catalogue, which we created for those of you who are on a tighter budget but still want a blue skies & daisies design for your wedding. Everything that you can have in a specific design is listed in our catalogue, with all the prices for each piece set. We are open to customizations of the Ready2Wear designs as we do understand that everyone's wedding is unique and may not fit in a box.

Our custom designs are just as they would seem: custom! We design all our custom wedding stationery from scratch, specifically with your ideas, colours and themes all reflected in your design.

[ Even if you don't have a specific idea in mind but know you want that one-of-a-kind wedding invitation, custom designs are the way to go. ]
How do we pay?
We accept cash, personal or certified cheques, international money orders, email transfers and credit cards through PayPal.

* Please note that a 2.9% service charge will apply when payment is made via PayPal.
How much does shipping cost?
Shipping costs will all depend on the size, weight and destination of your order. Most of our shipping (unless otherwise requested) is sent using Canada Post's Xpress Post option (guaranteed delivery: 1-2 days within Canada, 3-5 days to major cities in USA and 4-7 days between major centres and select countries).

* Please note: shipments made to places outside of Canada may incur additional charges such as customs and duty and is the sole responsibility of the customer.
What's your return policy?
Due to the customized nature of our products, all sales are final. Please check your final proof carefully before approving it for print, as we are not responsible for any errors made by you and do not offer refunds or reprints free of charge, should errors occur (after receiving your signed approval of your final proof).
Do you design anything other than weddings?
We sure do! You can check out our other projects because we're talented and fun and we have proof!
How are your wedding designs printed?
All of our stationery is printed digitally, on industrial 2400dpi printers, with a local Vancouver company we have chosen personally. There are some limitations associated with digital printing such as slight shifts in colour and the inability to print metallic shades (silver, gold, etc.). Digital printing keeps the overall costs down for our couples while maintaining exceptional quality.

[ All of our stationery is printed on 100lbs matte white card stock or 100% recycled stock ]
I have a unique idea for my wedding favours and I don't see it anywhere on your website. Do you do stuff not shown in your portfolio?
We love challenges! We are more than happy to talk to you about your ideas and see if they're feasible for us to do. Just because it's not in our portfolio doesn't mean we can't do it, we just haven't found the opportunity to give it a shot!
Do you send out samples?
Upon request we will put together a custom sample package of our designs and mail it out to you. Unfortunately, we don't send out full invitation sets for security reasons, but we do put enough fun bits and bobs that hopefully give you a good idea of how our designs look in person.
Do you work with couples outside of BC, Canada?
Do we ever! We've designed wedding websites and stationery for couples around the world. Have a look at world map which shows where our couples are located! Because we can pretty much handle all correspondence through internet, phone and email, regardless if you're in the city leading a busy life and can't make it into our office, or if you're in, say, Ireland, blue skies & daisies would love to design for you!
Is blue skies & daisies a store? Can I drop by to check out your samples?
We are not in a retail store just yet, but in the meantime, we work from our cozy South Granville and South Main home offices. You are more than welcome, if you're local, to book a date with us to come in, have a chat, and look through our full portfolio of work. Have a look at our contact page for the different methods to contact us.
When should we be mailing out our save-the-dates and our wedding invitations?
Save-the-Dates are proving to be increasingly popular due to your guests' busy schedules and distance. They are most useful in providing advance notice of your wedding event, which is especially important if your friends and family need to book travel and accommodations or even time off for your special day. Generally, save-the-dates are mailed out between 6 months to a year prior to your wedding date. If your guests need to book time off as well as start saving for a destination wedding, then try and give them as much notice as possible.

For your wedding invitations, we've checked around and the survey says: at least 8 weeks prior to your wedding day, if not earlier when the majority of your guests need to travel for your special event.   Remember to check with your caterer to see when they need your final numbers, and don't forget to allot time for those straggler guests who forget to rsvp!
How soon should we be contacting you to get started on our wedding stationery?
The sooner the better! Because with both our R2W and custom stationery, we still have a customization, proofing, printing and production process, we do need a few weeks to get through from ordering to handing off your wedding stationery to you. We tell our couples that it takes a MINIMUM of 4 weeks for the whole process, which doesn't include shipping time if you're not in Vancouver.

[ Plan ahead! The sooner you come to visit us the less stress you'll have planning your wedding day. ]

Do you offer a green alternative for your designs, like 100% recycled paper invitations?
We're SO glad you asked because YES we do! We truly believe in providing options for our couples and trying to help out in any way that we can. Because of this, we've researched and found 100% recycled stock options for our paper stationery and more so, we have e-version options for all our designs. Can you even believe it, a paperless wedding?! Just let us know if you're interested in green options for your wedding and we'll be happily to let you in on all the fun options that we have.
