Vendor Highlight with Etchings by Emma

Hey Babes! Welcome to this corner of my site! I’m sharing all of my favorite vendors who I love to work with. You can see more of my fave vendors here!

Emma is a rad Phoenix hand letterer who creates custom signage and printed goods for weddings and events. I’ve photographed several weddings with Emma’s work and it’s always so fun to see her unique creations come to life. I recently chatted with Emma and I’m pumped to share more about her and her business. 🙂

How long has Etchings by Emma been around and why are you passionate about it?

I started Etchings by Emma in 2015 with a love for hand lettering and art. I really just wanted a name to be associated with my doodles. Throughout college, I incorporated my lettering into a lot of projects and quickly realized that my style fit that of weddings. Wanting to grow and pursue this as a business (I’ve always had an entrepreneurial spirit), I reached out to all sorts of wedding vendors in 2017 and started doing signs for Lace & A Barn (a local venue). Over the last 3 years, I’ve worked with countless vendors, directly with couples, and have met some amazing people in this industry! I have been SO extremely passionate about signs and all things wedding related because I love helping couples add uniqueness and creativity to their day. I truly feel like custom signs add a personal element that nothing can compare to! I enjoy talking with couples and getting excited along with them for the biggest day of their life. It brings me SO much joy to create and serve.

What kind of events do you offer services for?

I will make signs and invites for any and all events (birthday parties, weddings, baby showers, bridal showers, etc.) Anything you need something custom for, I’m your girl! However, I’ve always found that weddings draw the most excitement.

Who are your fave couples to work with?

I love couples that have a vision and want me to attack it. It’s so fun when they know what they want and want to see it come to life. HOWEVER, I also love the couple that trusts my eye and will let me work my magic. It’s fun when they don’t know what they want and need help and we create a lot of amazing stuff! Basically, if you’re a fun couple, I want to work with you!

How early should couples hire you?

If you want rentals, I suggest reaching out ASAP! Because these can be taken fast. I would say if you know you want a rental, reach out. Even if it’s a year in advance. However, if you are hoping for signs, I typically suggest reaching out 4-6 months in advance. I do take couples up until 4 weeks before their day. No guarantees if you’re less than the 4 week window, but I can sometimes accommodate with a rush fee. I understand signs can be a last minute thought and I still want to be able to create for you!

Do you offer delivery and pickup?

Pickup from West Chandler is my primary way to hand-off signs! I don’t typically offer delivery but if the couple specifically needs it, I can offer it with a small fee.

Anything else you’d like to share?

I am willing to write on literally ANYTHING! Even skin! I’ve drawn multiple tattoos for people. I love signs but I also love writing on jackets and clothes as well as any digital art that you may want!
