My 2010 Stationery launch!

After weeks of hard work, late evenings, and lists upon lists, I finally had everything ready for my 2010 stationery launch event! I exhibited my new designs at the gorgeous venue of The Partridge in Wallingford, Oxfordshire. With delicious canapés and champagne for all, my stationery went down just as well as i received some great feedback from the brides who attended. One new design called "Secret Garden" seemed to be the most popular new design, but the best-seller 'Vintage Dream' looks like it will be hard to beat still. The next step will be to have them photographed so that i can upload them on my site (and to my blog!) for you all to see!

For a Vintage themed wedding...

The huge trend for everything 'Vintage' has translated into the world of weddings. For timeless sophistication (and photographs that won't date) you can achieve this look with just a few simple touches. Your wedding stationery is an easy way to do this. Our best-selling design (pictured here) is called 'Vintage Dream'. It encompasses all the elements of a classic Vintage frame, with roses, butterflies and foliage to compliment. The simple, graphic style of the illustration give the design a modern twist. We adjust the design to include different flowers, and we have also just finished a Winter Vintage theme (photograph to follow!). This picture was taken at the stunning Hotel du Vin in Henley-on-Thames, and features a matching placecard, menu and table name card.
To incorporate the Vintage style throughout the rest of your day, go for a Vintage hair slide or necklace, dusky pink and ivory roses (you could even trail some roses around a framed table plan to create a stunning entrance to your wedding breakfast), and a classic car!

Joining the blogging world!

Owning an online business and also being a graphic designer, means I probably should have joined the world of blogging long before now! But here I finally am, starting a blog which I hope will be a great showcase for my business, aswell as a great resource of ideas and guidance for any couple embarking on the exciting journey of wedding planning! All the dos and don'ts of wedding stationery will be covered, along with advice on trends, which colours go together, and how to personalise your wedding day with a theme that best reflects you as a couple.

I hope you enjoy the read, and please feel free to contact us with your comments or for advice!
