It’s been forever and a day since I posted on here…

Running (and marketing) 2 businesses single handed, isn’t for the faint of heart 😁

But post this morning reminded me of this beaut shoot we worked on, so here we are.

is very much still here and working away (with a huge backlog of images to share of recent stationery)
So if you’re looking for something illustrative and creative for your wedding stationery - either invites or on the day items, drop me a wee message and we’ll have a chat

Sometimes clean and simple does the trick.

Loved creating these arch die cut wedding invites for my bestie and , for there wedding early next year.

All of the details were printed on the back. Heavy smooth cream card stock with a muted gold print.

Can’t wait to start on the rest of the day stationery ❤️

Anna and David

Are crop scientists and wanted to include as many different plants and flowers into their stationery as we could squeeze in

Avocados aren’t always my go-to for design inspo, but I think this one works! 😜

And it’s totally their own ❤️

Their main invitation is nearing completion too and we’ve gone all out on the hand painted elements and personal details

Hand drawn details and a splash of colour…

Amber and Danny’s summer wedding stationery suite was a joy to create, with so many personal little details hidden amongst drawings of their favourite flowers.

Most of the projects I work on are bespoke, so if you have an idea that you’d like to see come to life drop me a message or have a browse through the client info pack in my bio.

Alternatively, if there are existing designs on here that you like, I’m always happy to use these as a base and tailor them for you.

I’m off to London this morning, for a spot of live activation work - calligraphy engraving on-site for an influencer event with (on behalf of the lovely gals )

I’m excited! But the 4.30am alarm clock and full face of makeup before 6 was a far cry from my usual working attire - who does this every day?! 😀

A Greek summer wedding, with a handful of little personal references thrown in…my favourite kind of brief.

Hand drawn leafy foliage, with an illustration of , Ross and Winston 🐶

Printed on a single gate-folding design, with calligraphy envelopes ✍🏻

Throwing it back to Lucy and Will’s folding, map wedding invitation…
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Everything was watercolour painted before being combined together onto a lightweight cream card base.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It was designed to be read and opened in stages - so would take their guests on a ‘journey’ as they read it, describing each stage of their wedding celebrations.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
There was also a hand painted location map included on the final ‘opening’.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The final size was A3 once opened and folded down to a 15cm square invitation.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It was the perfect way to include a huge amount of information about their wedding in one single piece, avoiding multiple additional inserts and details cards.

Excited to share this one…

Amber and Danny wanted something colourful and summery and totally personal to them. We included an illustration of their wedding venue along with a load of vibrant flowers - each one representing a special woman in their lives. There were also a couple of other special little details added too ❤️

I hope the final preps are going well for tomorrow , have the most wonderful day 😍

A little painted monogram for James and Jennie - one that symbolises both of their surnames; Nutter and Applewhite.

This one was hand painted with watercolours before including on their invitation design. We adapted it slightly for their day of items, but it created a lovely constant thread that appeared throughout their stationery.

Helloooo!

HOW is it April already?! Where is this year going?! 🤦🏻‍♀️

Checking in here to apologies for the lack of content / newness over here.
I’m still very much alive and working hard, but running two businesses is kicking my backside a little bit right now…

That said, I’ve had some fab projects to work on over , and I’ve got a lovely backlog of the most beautiful wedding stationery suites to share, that have gone out this year.

This week, I’m heading up to with my favourite bunch of gal pal wedding stationers, for two days or work and play ❤️

I’m completely booked for bespoke design slots in April and May but June is a little clearer. If you’d like to enquire about working with me on your wedding stationery, drop me a DM or fill in the contact form on my website.

Oh, and happy Easter weekend pals, hope you had a blast with your loved ones x

I’ve got an amazing bespoke brief on my desk this week that I can’t wait to get started on…

Think hand painted, whimsical, meadows, English florals, and beautiful venues. ❤️
I can’t wait to get started!

This bespoke suite for Rosie and Alex was another favourite to work on.
Painted details really give your stationery a delicate edge.

I currently have one spot available for wedding stationery design in February and 2 in March.
