Step 1: Personalized Consultation

Every framing journey begins with a conversation. We take the time to understand the story behind your piece, your aesthetic preferences, and where it will live. From modern minimalism to ornate traditional styles, we’ll guide you through a wide selection of frames, mats, and glazing options—ensuring a finished product that reflects both your style and the significance of the piece.
“Our goal is to honor what matters to you—while making it look incredible on your wall.”

Step 2: Thoughtful Design & Material Selection

With decades of combined experience, our framers provide expert guidance on selecting materials that both complement your artwork and offer lasting protection. We use only premium, conservation-grade materials:
• Acid-free mats and backing to prevent yellowing or damage
• UV-filtering glass or acrylic to protect from light exposure
• Hand-finished frames in a variety of styles and finishes
Every selection is tailored to your piece—not pulled from a shelf.

Step 3: Conservation & Mounting

Preserving your piece is our top priority. We use museum-quality mounting techniques that protect original artwork, textiles, photographs, and documents. Whether it’s a vintage concert poster or a centuries-old document, our team applies the most appropriate method to keep your piece safe without compromising its integrity.
Ask us about our conservation framing methods for irreplaceable or delicate items.

Step 4: Custom Handcrafted Framing

Once your design is finalized, our team gets to work crafting your frame in-house. Every cut, join, and assembly is handled with meticulous care. Unlike mass-produced frames, each project at Belle Meade Framers is built specifically for your piece, with precision at every step.
Our workshop is equipped with both time-tested tools and modern technology, allowing us to maintain the highest standards in custom framing craftsmanship.

Step 5: Final Inspection & Pickup

Before your piece leaves our shop, it undergoes a detailed final inspection to ensure everything meets our strict quality standards. When you pick up your piece, we’ll walk you through the final product to ensure it’s exactly what you envisioned—ready to hang and ready to admire.
