The client brief
What they came with.
10kWedding needed a store that felt like a premium editorial destination rather than another wedding supplies site. The buyer is planning the most photographed event of their life — aesthetic alignment with the store experience directly affects purchase confidence. High-AOV products (custom invitations, luxury decor kits) required customisation options and premium presentation. The challenge was making configuration feel like creative planning rather than variant selection.

Our approach
The decisions behind the build.
Editorial design language — generous whitespace, sophisticated typography, full-bleed aspirational imagery. The homepage was built as a mood board rather than a product catalogue: setting the aesthetic standard before individual products appear. High-AOV product pages led with the emotional outcome (how this looks on the wedding day) before presenting configuration options and price. Scarcity was built on authentic lead time constraints — not manufactured countdown timers.
What we built
The systems that made it work.
FIG 0.1
Custom invitation configurator
Multi-step product customisation for wedding invitations — paper stock, print style, wording template, envelope lining, quantity — presenting each choice as a creative decision rather than a product variant dropdown.
FIG 0.2
Editorial homepage architecture
Full-bleed imagery sections with minimal text, a mood-setting hero that establishes the brand aesthetic before any product appears, and collection spotlights styled as editorial features rather than category grids.
FIG 0.3
High-AOV curated bundle structure
Named wedding packages (Invitation Suite, Complete Decor Kit, Ceremony Package) combining complementary products at bundle pricing — increasing AOV through curation rather than generic you might also like popups.
FIG 0.4
Authentic availability signalling
Only 12 suites available for May 2025 styled scarcity for custom and handmade products — real lead-time constraints surfaced transparently rather than manufactured urgency mechanics.
FIG 0.5
Styled inspiration gallery
Real wedding imagery featuring products in context, organised by occasion (intimate, garden, formal, destination) — helping buyers visualise the product in their specific setting and aesthetic.
FIG 0.6
Artisan and maker storytelling
Made by X in Y background for handcrafted products — building the premium price justification through craft transparency rather than brand assertion.

The CRO layer
How we made it convert.
Every store we build has a conversion layer baked in from day one — not retrofitted after launch. These are the specific tactics applied to this build.
Aesthetic alignment converts without persuasion
When the store looks as good as the buyer wants their wedding to look, aesthetic confidence converts without needing discount or urgency mechanics — buyers who feel the brand understands their vision skip comparison shopping.
Configuration framed as creative planning, not form-filling
Presenting variant choices as creative decisions (Choose your paper stock rather than Select option) makes the configuration flow feel like wedding planning — dramatically reducing abandonment at the customisation stage.
Named bundle curation over generic cross-sell
Complete Ceremony Suite converts better than you might also like because it confirms the buyer is making the right complete choice — not adding random items. Curation signals editorial judgment the buyer trusts.
Lead-time scarcity is credible in the wedding category
Only 8 invitations available for June delivery is believable for a handmade product — buyers in the wedding market understand production lead times and respond to authentic availability constraints without scepticism.
“Editorial design and configurator UX turned a product selection process into a wedding planning experience — the buyer converts because the store understands what the day means to them.”
