Tumbling Heart, Red Inspired Wedding Invitations & Stationery - Lyndsay & Craig

This is what happens when you carry a theme right the way through...

Tumbling Heart, Red Inspired Wedding Invitations & Stationery - Lindsay & Craig

Lindsay & Craig chose the Tumbling Heart Design

For their daytime invitations....

And evening invitations too....

The venue, Allerton Court Hotel, Northallerton,

 also offered a menu choice 

and these were sent with the RSVP's

Once the R.S.V.P's are back, it's time to make the seating plan...

The red border reflects the colours chosen for their

Bridesmaids dresses...... 

And the silver on ivory complimented it beautifully.....

 We offer many solutions when it comes to table names and numbers

Flat cards need something to stand on.... like a mini easel 

or one of the many card holders available

We prefer to make these

Stand Alone cards......

And of course we can introduce you colour scheme into them too....

And we made the place cards to match.

All the names are written in Calligraphy

Which offers a truly personal touch.....

 We use Gouache paint as it's far less likely to bleed and smude

and once dry gives crisp lines and is also opaque

so you can easily have white letters on a dark coloured cardstock

In the modern age of computer lettering

people LOVE to see their names hand lettered

and in the case of unusual names, it's very often the 

only thing they have ever had, which is personalised with their names

I mean.... it's not often you see this is it?

And of course.... once the celebrations are over,

it's important to THANK YOU GUESTS! 

A little acknowledgement goes a long way!

So.... there you have it. A full wedding order from start to finish. Sadly the 'On the Day' stationery often gets overlooked when it comes to Wedding Photography, especially in the UK. But the 'On the Day' items are as important as the balloons and table sprinkles.  It would be lovely to see how everything comes together... especially when Menus and Order of Services and Order of the Day are involved too. But unless I gatecrash the party or hire a private photographer, it's unlikely I'll get to see it.

I'm sure... along with all the other bits and pieces of the wedding day, the whole thing looked fabulous and of course... the most important thing is, that everyone had a really great and memorable day.

Kirsty & Paul - Cadbury's Purple Wedding Invitations and Stationery

Kirsty and Paul

were married on Sunday.

The colour theme of their wedding was Purple

They choose, as many couples do,

Folded Invitations for the Daytime guests,

and Flat Invitations for the Evening Guests

The choose a fine Baroque/vintage style design

With fine filigree and solid leaf pattern

A theme that was to run throughout the whole of this order.

'On The Day' items are generally ordered much later 

and closer to the date of their wedding. 

Once you know how many people are coming

 and who you have to cater for.

There were 7 tables in all,

6 plus the top table.

Here are the table numbers,

flat so that they can stand in holders

And here's a close up

The Order of Service 

were made into book,

with 8 pages inside.

I made the covers more decorative 

as I could afford to fill up more space 

than I had been able to on the Invitations

And again.... here's a close up

Or two.......

The multiple pages means that the couples have the choice

of either hand stitched or stapled...

depending on their budget.

Kirsty and Paul chose to have a triple fold menu

to stand next to the centre table decorations

There was also a Wedding Post Box....

but for some unknown reason I forgot to photograph it!

And finally, with just 2 weeks to go

The Wedding Seating Plan...

Much less fussy than normal,

due to the fact that there were no hearts of butterflies to stick all over it :-)

Sadly, Wedding Stationers rarely get to see the finished effect. Unless they have friends who are the wedding planners or photographers and who can take pictures on the day. Overall the design and colour worked really well and most of the time the work was left up to me.

From start to finish, this couple were uncomplicated and made the whole order go smoothly and effortlessly. This was probably the most stress free order I have ever had the pleasure of doing.

It's great when a couple trust you as an artist and creator.... it makes our work so much easier :-)

I would like to wish them all the very best for their bright and happy future together and thank them for being so laid back and easy going.
