ATTABOY for Emma
Emma, welcome. You told us the site you have now reads outdated, bare bones, not professional, and that you want people to feel inspired and drawn in. This page is the direction we took from that conversation, plus a first look at the website. The kickoff form at the end takes about 10 minutes. It covers your details, the open questions, and your photo upload.
Three options, from the fine-line direction you sent. The olive branch stays, drawn a little finer. Script is only the small year. The website is using the wide one for now. These are options, not a final logo.
You named an olive branch, a dove, or a fine-line drawing. This is the olive branch: a finer stem, with small leaves and two olives, that travels with your name.
You asked for any note of faith to stay on the About page, not across the whole site. The branch reads as a plant to most visitors.
You told us, "I want my color palette to be in the autumn color season colors." Brown, tan, and olive green, with ivory for the photographs, and either red or peacock blue as the accent you named.
In these options your name is a fine serif. Script is only the small year. Photography stays in quiet capitals. Headlines on the website stay as they are.
Before every wedding I walk the ceremony site and the reception space, find the light, and plan where you will be at golden hour, so on the day I am watching you, not the room.
You told us, "I like to have visited my venue before." Open the website preview when you want to walk the pages.
Your website
The preview is a set of pages, with sample color blocks and words. A few blocks show a thin photo border. Those get replaced with yours after the kickoff form.
A social post
Over a photograph
The form takes about 10 minutes. It covers your details, the open questions, and the photo upload. You send the photographs you want on the site. We finish the site with your real photos and your words. Then you get a final preview to approve before launch.
