Hello everyone! I’m Sandrine, Founder and Designer at Define Design 11. I am excited to have our artwork featured today on The Grommet. Please feel free to ask any questions or comment below. I’m all ears!
-
Can you do cities outside the U.S.? (Specifically, Vancouver, Canada.)
-
@Judy
We can do any city worldwide! -
Hi, these maps are so cute! Can you do a map of BC, Canada? I have friends getting married this fall and would like something unique for them.
-
@Kimberly
HI Kimberly!
We sure can! We can do any city worldwide:) -
@Sandrine Awesome! Last question....can you just do the detailed map and personalization without the heart shape? Thanks for taking questions.
-
@Kimberly
What shape are you wanting?
Thanks! -
@Sandrine Hi, I am not the original poster but I was born in Massapequa, Long Island, NY is there a way to showcase Massapequa and Jones Beach in the same frame? A small mat with my name and date of birth would be great! Thank you!
Erica -
@Erica F
Hi Erica~
Both Massapequa and Jones Beach are very close to each other and should show up in the same heart:) If you send over your order info, we will get a draft to you shortly! -
@Sandrine I'm thinking the BC outline with the map detail. I really need to get the southern area of BC (Vancouver northeast towards Kamloops). Vancouver and Kamloops are the important cities. I think new hubby may think the heart is corny, men!
-
@Kimberly
Sure thing:)
Just send over the order form and we will make sure the draft is just as you want it before printing.
Hope this helps! -
My husband and I got married in Aruba. Can you do a shadowbox for this?
-
@Mary
Hi Mary!
Beautiful place to get married!!
We can do any location worldwide:) -
Can you do a wedding invitation vs. State?
-
@bob
Hi Bob~
Not sure I understand the question:)
Are you wanting us to do your wedding invitation in the shadowbox frame? -
What a wonderful idea! I just ordered one to give my husband as an anniversary gift - but then, I noticed there's nothing about how long it takes from placing my order to delivery. So my question is what's the turnaround time?
-
@Julie
Hi Julie~
I will get a draft over to you here shorlty...
Once you approve the draft, we will ship out your order the very next business day! Thanks so much for ordering with us! -
Hi - Beautiful idea! My daughter is getting married on a farm - Can you explain what you mean by creating a graphic of "a birdseye view of your chosen place"?
-
@Patricia
Hi Patricia~
On both the map hearts, skylines and state prints, the city of the location where your daughter is getting married would be showcased. Hope his makes sense:) Thanks! -
@Sandrine OK - thanks, and it does! Do you do drafts for us to see before printing? I'd like to see both the map of the city one, and also the state with the city marked with a heart. If that is possible, please let me know, and I'll send you details!
-
@Patricia
We sure do!
We will send over a draft for confirmation before printing, framing and shipping:) -
@Sandrine Great - I'd like a draft of 1. both the map of the city one, and 2. the state with the city marked with a heart, but I don't want to post the info here. How should I send the information?
This is the perfect personal gift that I was hoping to find for the kids - thanks so much! -
@Patricia
Just send over the info on your order form and we will get a draft over to you shortly! -
@Sandrine OK - I will do that!
-
@Patricia
Great! -
Love love love this! I have friends getting married on the beach at the Sanderling resort in Duck NC. I love the style of the skyline shadowbox. Would you be able to do something with that location even though it is not a city?
-
@Cathy
Hi Cathy~
We can do! Just include this info on the order form when placing your order and we will get a draft sent over to you here shortly:) -
@Sandrine excellent! I sent over two orders to compare. Thank you!
-
@Cathy
Perfect!
Will get drafts to you shortly! -
Sandrine - My niece is getting married this Sept. Would there be a way to do a map of places they have been that were special - it would include where they met & traveled - Muncie, IN. / Costa Rica / Jamaica etc. & then I would have it as shown in a heart with their wedding date. Also - what is the time frame for getting one made? Thank you, & awesome idea!!!
-
@Sandy
Hi Sandy!
Thanks so much for reaching out to us! We are only able to showcase one location per heart but could certainly make 3 frames for you showing each special location....they would look lovely displayed as a trio on their wall. Once the order is placed, we will email over drafts for confirmation before printing. Once the draft are approved as good to print, we ship out within 2-3 business days at the latest! -
I'm interested in the heart shape for wedding.
August 6
Would it be done in time?
Shipping costs?
Do you take paypal?
Sue -
Hi Sue, shipping will depend slightly on where you are, but if you place the order soon, you should have no problem receiving it for that date. And yes, we do take PayPal.
-
Hi Sandrine! LOVE these. What inspired you to start making these map/skyline shadow boxes?
I am going to order the heart one for my newly arrived god daughter's nursery :) -
@Abby
Hi Abby~
I was traveling and saw a postcard with a skyline on it and thought that it would make a great keepsake if it was personalized with the couples names and wedding date! Inspiration can come from the strangest of places:) -
Hi, Sandrine. When you start making something custom, people have so many ideas for you! Here's my idea/question: We are getting married in one location in Colorado, and then having a honeymoon in a different location in colorado. Can we either get a heart map that is zoomed out enough to show both or one of those state shape maps with 2 hearts on them? And one other question - for the heart maps, do you always use street maps or do you use topo maps as well? In colorado, there aren't so many roads so the map wouldn't show much unless you show mountains. Thanks!
-
@Michael
Hi Micheal~
At this time, we only offer a one heart/one location option on The Grommet.
I will certainly look into making a multiple location /multiple heart option available! We don't have any topo maps, but our atlases are pretty good at capturing any location. Thank you! -
Hi Sandrine. I just placed an order. I selected my city as Crawfordsville, IN. My wife and I got married at Wabash College so if possible please display that location in the piece. Thank you so much..so excited!
-
@Christopher
Great!
I will get a draft sent over to you here shortly.
Thanks so much!
