Ivory Berry Sprays

Latest news on these is that they will arrive at the beginning of October

Winter Weddings

With winter fast approaching, minds are turning to themes for wedding stationery and favours, especially if you’re planning a Christmas wedding.

The old classics are still popular: rich shades of red and gold can provide a stunning contrast when combined with bridal ivory and champagne. For this style sumptuous ribbons are a must, of course, and maybe a touch of tartan for that extra festive feel. Favours can be finished with berry sprays (available in gold, ivory, burgundy or red) or Magnolia Christmas Sprays which have a touch of sparkle too.

These days, however, you can be so much more adventurous with all the fantastic products available to buy both on the High Street and online. Think of Narnia and the Snow Queen, for example, and go with shimmering white card stocks embellished with Swarovski crystals, feathers and iridescent or glitter ribbons, maybe with silver accents to add some interest.

Snowflakes make a great theme (even if we don’t get too much snow in the UK!) – add as a motif in your Wedding Stationery, which can be carried right through from your Wedding Invitations to your Place Cards. Your could even give snowflake tree ornaments as favours to your guests, and display them hanging from twigs on the reception tables to double up as a pretty centrepiece.

Table decorations can also be included in the theme: clear table crystals or silver metallic table confetti on crisp white table linen will sparkle like diamonds in the snow.   Luxury wedding cracker kits can be filled with sweets, hats and mottoes for a traditional piece of Christmas table fun, and can also double as place names with the addition of a personalised tag.

Cheap doesn’t mean nasty

We’ve come up with a great new range of wedding invitations!

Whilst trying to think of ideas to save you money whilst not compromising on the quality of the product, we had a bit of a brain wave: do away with a paper insert, which not only saves on the cost of the insert, but also the cost of printing it and of inserting it into the card.  Instead, we are printing the invitation wording on the inside of the card itself – we can now print the front and inside at the same time, saving both time and money.

Having tried this method out on a few different cards, we have to admit they all look fantastic, and the  invitations in no way look ‘cheaper’.  The secret, I think, is that we still use the same 300gsm heavyweight card stocks so you can really feel the quality of the card.

Prices for a C6 invitation start at just £11.00 for 10, including envelopes – 50 invitations for only £55.00!!

Keep an eye on the website where we hope to load images soon, or book an appointment to visit our showroom to have a look and feel for yourself.

This category is, not surprisingly, all about wedding invitations!  We will be posting articles, useful information and helpful hints, as well as hopefully some ‘how-to’ style pieces to help you with your stationery.

Watch this space….

Had a bit of a light bulb moment today in the search for ideas to reduce the cost of wedding invitations in these difficult times, but without compromising on the quality and the ability to create the right impression.  Will be busy trying out some samples tomorrow and will let you know how it goes..
