- a working process -

Seven slow steps, letter to volume.

  1. I.

    A letter

    You write us via the inquiry letter. We answer within seven days.

  2. II.

    A coffee

    A 60-minute video or studio meeting. We listen more than we talk.

  3. III.

    A proposal

    A bespoke proposal arrives within ten days, costed to the dollar.

  4. IV.

    A contract

    Half retainer holds your date. The remainder splits across two milestones.

  5. V.

    The season

    Concept boards, vendor introductions, walk-throughs. We’re in regular touch.

  6. VI.

    The day

    Margot is on-site, dressed for the back of the house. The studio handles the rest.

  7. VII.

    A printed volume

    Within ten weeks, a bound book of your day is sent to your home.

"Margot is the rare designer who answers a phone, then actually listens. Our wedding looked the way our marriage feels, which is to say better than we deserved."
