The first steps of the short were to establish the look and feel of the project, as it was requested that the designs of the animation and art were to be also used for invites and other materials for the wedding, as well as the color palette. Information and interests from the bride and groom were also relevant for the decorative elements such as the female and male kiwi flowers and "easter eggs" such as the chevron pattern from Twin Peaks or the cats and chameleon (the couple's pets).
