SIGNS AND DETAILS
CUSTOM SIGNS
Letters & Dust was originally created after observing the amount of waste in the wedding industry with regard to day of items. The spark of the business was in repurposing materials such as chalkboards and wood signs that clients used for signage. This is still a core value, as we try to prolong the lifecycle of all our material as long as possible. Using vinyl lettering has allowed us to get longer life out of materials such as acrylic, however the vinyl itself increases waste, so we are constantly adapting, and looking for new ways to reduce the wedding industry footprint.

Our minimum investment amount for 2026 is $1000, this can be reached with sign orders, stationery as well as delivery + pickup services. Preference in booking for day-of dates will be given to those also utilizing L&D for their invitations - whether fully custom or semi-custom. Custom-build projects will be taken on as available, please reach out sooner rather than later with these projects.
In addition to production / rental costs, we charge a $400 design fee on all projects, which facilitates all communication, ordering and working with production partners, design time, also working with your coordinator or other pertinent vendors.
The Process
Day-of signage and paper goods are often some of the most exciting elements of your event, and we’re thrilled to begin that design journey with you!
01. INQUIRY
Fill out and submit the form below, I will let you know as soon as possible if I am available for your date! For prime wedding season dates, the sooner you submit an inquiry, the better. I suggest at least 8-12 months before the wedding.
02. BOOKING
Once you have paid your retainer (50% of your estimated total or $500 if you are unsure of your exact needs), and signed your contract, you are officially booked! Dates do fill up quickly, and I only take a limited number of projects per month.
03. THE DESIGN PROCESS
Around 90 days out from your event date, I will ask that you (or your planner), send over a completed list of needed signs and day-of paper details, as well as any design decks, moodboards or other visuals for me to see. This is when I will start putting together digital mock-ups for you, and we will refine everything until it is just right. One month prior to your event, I will request all your finalized wording.
04. EVENT DAY
If you choose to pick up your items, they are available two days prior to your event, and rentals need to be returned by the Tuesday after. If you have opted for delivery, I (or an associate) will be on site to install and place items as well as pick up at the end of the event or at an arranged time.
DAY-OF DETAILS INSPIRATION
Coordinating day of printed / hand lettered goods can really bring a fully branded approach to your wedding—we can custom design menus, place cards, programs, and escort cards to give your guests that extra special experience and appreciation of attention to detail
