Wedding planning has a way of compressing time. Something that felt far away suddenly arrives. A supplier falls through. A date changes. And what was a comfortable timeline becomes, without warning, an urgent one.
We hear from couples in exactly this situation more often than you might expect. Two weeks before the wedding. Ten days. Sometimes less.
And the answer, almost always, is yes.
How it is possible
Speed and quality are usually presented as a trade-off. You can have one or the other. The Laldie was built on the belief that this is a false choice — that with the right process, you can have both.
The process works like this.
You place your order and share your details — your names, your date, your venue, any specific ideas you have in mind. Within 24 hours, a hand-illustrated design lands in your inbox. You review it and tell us what you would like changed. We revise it. Once you are happy, production begins immediately.
Printing and production take under a week. Shipping from London reaches most destinations worldwide in 2 to 4 business days.
From order to delivery, the typical timeline is 7 to 10 days. For urgent orders, we have done it in less.
What does not get compromised
Speed does not change the materials. Every matchbox is still direct printed — not labelled, not stickered — using the same process we use for every other order. The paper finishes are the same. The quality control is the same.
Speed does not change the design process either. Revisions remain unlimited. If something is not right, we fix it. The urgency of the timeline is our problem to manage, not yours to absorb.
And speed does not change the packaging. Every order leaves our London studio beautifully packed, ready to place directly on a wedding table or gift to a planner.
For the wedding planners reading this
A significant number of our orders come through wedding planners — professionals who have been caught in exactly the situation described above. A client changes their mind at the last minute. A supplier delivers something unusable. A detail that was meant to be handled months ago has somehow arrived at the two-week mark.
We have become, for several planners in London and beyond, the supplier they call when time has run out. We are reliable in a way that the situation demands. And we are discreet about the timeline, because the couple does not need to know how close it was.
The peace of mind that comes with a guarantee
Every order ships with tracked delivery. We send confirmation at each stage of the process — design approval, production complete, dispatched. You always know where your order is.
If something goes wrong — and in years of operation, it very rarely does — we fix it. That is not a policy we announce loudly. It is simply how we work.
Because the wedding is in a week. And it needs to be perfect.
