Bespoke handmade invitation with olive branch design

I recently had the pleasure of working on this delightful handmade invitation. It was a nice small order and my bride was keen to have all the trimmings including torn edges, hand dyed silk ribbon, calligraphy and a wax seal!

I was asked to include olive branches in the design and to keep it clean and simple. I was so pleased with how the final designs came out and it was very pleasing making up the final invitations and adding the guest names with calligraphy.

The invitations are printed on bockingford hot press watercolour paper which has a lovely smooth finish to it. As it’s watercolour paper the edges tear nicely and it’s a nice heavy 300gsm weight paper. I then added guest names to the top of the invitations using a mixed calligraphy ink to get a nice sage green to match the design.

The hand-dyed silk ribbon was a lovely addition in a beautiful soft blue colour. It really added that extra luxury to the invitations.

For the wax seal I originally looked at a gold option but then after trying the simple clean white wax I realised it was perfect for the subtle colours of the design. It gives it such a clean modern look and doesn’t detract from the design of the main invitation.

I was also asked to create a timeline for the order of the day as an information card. It was my brides idea to add the timeline to the map and I think it looks lovely and very fitting for this destination wedding.

If you are interested in having handmade invitations whether it’s in a similar design or something completely bespoke then please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

Romeo and Juliet Theatrical Romantic Wedding at The Royal Shakespeare Theatre

I am very excited to be sharing this photoshoot with you which has been featured on the Magpie Weddings blog today! Very much a high point in my wedding stationery journey and so much fun to do.

A big thank you to Sara Beaumont for asking me to be involved in this photoshoot, to all the other amazing wedding suppliers involved and last but certainly not least the Royal Shakespeare Company for the amazing venue. It was lovely to see all the ideas come together on the day of the photoshoot and I’m very pleased with how Sara has captured my wedding stationery! The colours and styling really work well together and create a lovely theatrical and romantic wedding.

I wanted the wedding stationery designed for this photoshoot, to have a romantic and almost theatrical feel. I used sumptuous deep burgundy and gold colours to give drama and the watercolour background used in the printed stationery helped add to the creative, artistic look of the styled shoot.

I also used gold calligraphy and lettering for the stationery and signage to fit in with the theme of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet. The place settings / tags are hand written onto dyed handmade paper and for the signage I stained wooden boards with a lovely burgundy colour and added metallic gold lettering. This style would be perfect for a bold theatrical romantic wedding but also any modern romantic style wedding.

This design is available to purchase for your wedding and the colours can be changed to suit your colour scheme please contact me for more information. It will be added to the website soon!
