#4 WHEN ORDERING STATIONERY –
PLEASE
DON’T ASK YOUR WEDDING STATIONER TO COPY SOMEONE ELSE’S IDEA/DESIGN
Yes, believe it or not….this does
happen.
I suppose with all the inspirational
boards and Pinterest out there it’s understandable that Brides set their hearts
on something and then that’s all they focus on.
By all means, show ideas or flavours of
things you have found, but if you ask for a direct, blatant copy, from a
reputable designer or maker their answer will be NO!
There are some good reasons for this, the
main one being, it’s HIGHLY ILLEGAL!
The second good reason for me is: I have
hundreds of my own designs… why would I want to copy someone else’s.
When people come to me for invitations
and stationery, I am assuming they are coming because they like my ‘style’ of
designs or at least know that we can work together to come up with something
suitable.
Of course, you can’t copyright something
generic, like a pocket fold with a piece of ribbon across the top for instance
or a folded card with some ribbon or pearls glued onto it. There are always
exceptions to the rule. However, from a design point of view whether you WANT to
make something like this and put your name to it… well that’s another matter.
By all means…. Bring to me your
inspiration boards. Tell me what you like/don’t like about what you have pinned
on it. That way, we’ll get to understand your essence and style and come up
with something unique to you.
