Eileen & Chris's - Hot Pink Wedding Invitations

We pride ourselves on offering the same high quality

 or goods and services, 

no matter how large or small your wedding!

It is our mission not to be 

exclusive but 'in'clusive.... 

whatever your budget.

Eileen & Chris's Wedding 

was to be a small one,

with only a few close friends. 

First job for me is to write out 

the Bride and grooms name in calligraphy,

wait till it dries, rub out the lines,

and then get it scanned 

so that I can work on it 

so it is 'camera ready' for the 

Invitations and Stationery.

I love all aspects of my work....

but this really is the fun part :-)

Together, they chose the smaller, flat,  A6 sized invitations,

These are a perfect size when small graphics and 

where there is only 1 meal or buffet.

Some couples choose to have a church Wedding,

then a sit down meal at a venue and then and evening disco and buffet too.

In these cases there is too much information to go on this type and size or card.

And here they are all packed up to go.

While they were in the shop, they also saw 

my personalised Wedding blessing Candles

and had one made in memory of Eileen's grandparents

With matching ribbon and font colour to carry through their theme.

I think the memory candles are a particularly lovely idea, especially where one or both parents are passed away.

I have known couples put them on the head tables and light them as a reminder that although absent, they are very close to their hearts. 

What ideas do you have f

or remembering absent people 

at your wedding? 

Black & White Wedding Invitations, Wedding Post Box and Guest Book - Tina & Peter

here's the Black & White Wedding Invitations, 

Wedding Post Box and Guest Book

I created for Tina & Peter 

Folded Invitations for the Daytime

and simple, Flat Invitations for the Evening

We used the heart theme from the

Blessing Tree Design 

and incorporated them on

he Wedding Post Box

On the Guest Book

we also carried through the 

Black & White Theme....

As these 2 items usually sit side by side on a table

it's nice to have them matching :-)

Red, Blue and Green Wedding Invitations - Cassie & John

Red, Blue and Green 

Wedding Invitations  

Cassie & John

Invitations, Seating Plan,

Wedding Post Box & Place Cards

The wedding colour theme for Cassie and John

came from Johns Scottish ancestry.

there theme was to be a tartan one,

however, we don't have a tartan foil...

so we had to think a bit creatively here.

We (between us)

decided that the Folded Daytime Invitations 

Would be Ivory and foiled in Red...

And the Flat Evening Invitations too.....

We made the RSVP cards in Blue foil

And the 'Money not Gift' Request Cards 

in a beautiful Emerald Green.....

Apologies for the rather pale next few pictures...

they were taken on my iPad and the photos look 

ok on that, but they do funny things on Blogger :-)

We made the seating plan in the same colours,

using red for the foil lettering and as the main colour.

The green border and blue butterflies, helped tie it all in.

Here's a very poor close up....

Then, the post box....

here I tried to tie it in as best I could 

with the seating plan....

And last of all....

These mini Lottery Ticket Envelopes

A small Blue and Green butterfly

to match the theme of butterflies

running right through this order....

An personalised with Red Gouache Calligraphy,

to make them even more special.

Some colour themes leave you 

with a bit of head scratching,

but with a bit of creative thinking....

things usually work out in the end.

What do you think?

Like? or not?

If you had a Scottish Themed Wedding,

how did you get everything to fit in?

Heart Themed Wedding Invitation Inspirations

I've been asked by a Bride to send her a few photos 

of some heart designs I've created. 

So I thought I'd pop then into a quick blog post

to share with all my other interested couples.

Card 1 - The fingerprint card

Card 2 - Tumbling Hearts

Card 3 - Heart Balloons

Card 4 - Simple Filigree Heart

Card 5 - triple Heart 

Card 6 - Filigree Heart 

Card 7 - Heart Border

Card 8 - Tendril Hearts

Card 9 - Open and Closed Hearts

Card 10.... as above but this time foiled in pale pink.

These are just some of the cards available at the studio.

We work on new designs when requested or when time permits.

Although most of these cards are seen as folded,

all the above designs can be made into flat invitations with a bit of tweaking.

Obviously the designs may have to be smaller to accommodate 

all the information that can be put inside the folded cards,

but for the budget Bride these can be ideal,

offering something personalised, different, unique,

while staying within budget :-)

Personalised Packaging for hand made goods

Mega apologies for being SO behind with my blog posts!

July and August are the busiest times in the Wedding Industry,

I've had loads of Brides wanting on the day items.

The posts are all queued up and 

waiting for me to write the descriptions.....

but in the meantime, 

I'll share a few new packaging items 

I've made for myself.

I've been making some tags

with a variety of words on,

to suit an assortment of orders that I get in.

I put the pics out on facebook 

and took a vote as to which fastening people preferred.

The string won, hands down!

I also made some transparent wraps,

which turned out rather cool! 

Hand Made, designed, printed and foiled with love,

especially for you at the studio on Inspired by Script

Hand made and sprinkled with care and love

especially for you at the studio of

Inspired by Script

Hand made, designed with smiles  and love

especially for you

at the studio of Inspired by Script 

I LOVE making personalised tags and tickets, especially for the Hand Made market, it all adds to the 'I took care and a lot of thought went into this' kinda feel to hand made products, don't you think?

I'll be back soon with some Wedding related write ups.... and one or two non related Wedding orders.... one of which has proved very interesting and saw me hitting the international market.

In the meantime, enjoy what's left of the Summer while it lasts. The last 2 days have given us some much needed rain.... but after the amazing Summer we've had we really mustn't complain :-)

Penny & Andrew - Pale Pink Wedding Invitations and Stationery

Pale Pinks rather than Fuchsia 

were the order of the day....

and hearts....and plenty of them!

The order was for 

Daytime Invitations

Evening Invitations

and RSVP Cards

All with hearts 

and all in soft pinks...

Below:

Folded DL - 21cm x 10cm Daytime Invitations

14.5cm x 14.5cm Flat Invitations

10cm x 10cm Flat RSVP Cards

And closer to the day....

The Wedding Seating Plan

Decorated with oodles of hearts!

And some larger ones to give a bit of comtrast

And.... don't forget the table numbers....

The place cards were written in pale pink gouache paint, but look pretty odd on a photograph as Penny was adding a Heart Brooch as not only a place card but a Wedding Favour too. Money was donated to Cancer research on each guests behalf.

Subtle but pretty and a refreshing change from Hot Pink I have to say. Pale pink would be a good colour to use for the more Vintage Type, Traditional Wedding themes. 

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.
