James and Trish’s Wedding – The Tithe Barn, Bolton Abbey

News / 2022-09-13

I recently had the pleasure of creating wedding invitations and stationery for my cousin James and his  fiancee (now wife!) Trish. It was lovely to have a family wedding to look forward to and even more exciting to be asked to create their wedding stationery!

It was an Autumn wedding and they chose to use my Autumn leaves design for their wedding stationery.  I created save the date cards and wedding invitations, and then for the wedding reception, a table plan, place settings and table name cards.

The wedding ceremony itself was at a lovely little church in Linton in the Yorkshire Dales, close to where our family are from. They then had a reception and dinner at the stunning Tithe Barn in Bolton Abbey. The venue had an incredible view across the Dales and of Bolton Abbey itself. It’s a recently restored barn and makes for the most amazing wedding venue. The rustic beams were adorned with lights and decorations and it was really nice to see my stationery in situe. I don’t often get to see my wedding stationery in it’s natural habitat, I tend to package it up and send it off never to see it again!

Thanks to Paul Joseph Photography for taking such amazing photos!

Art Nouveau Style Wedding Invitation

Bespoke Design / 2022-09-13

One of my recent bespoke designs was for a couple who wanted an Art Nouveau style wedding with invitations to match. It was an exciting challenge to take on as it’s quite a detailed and very distinctive style. I have to admit I was quite nervous sending over the initial proof as it took a lot of time and work to get the style right but thankfully my bride loved it.

Art Nouveau is a style of decorative art from the late 1800s, early 1900s and was inspired by natural forms and structures, particularly the curved lines of plants and flowers. It’s a lovely style for a wedding and the colours and details can be used throughout the ‘look’, from Art Nouveau style tableware to vintage styled wedding dresses.

I was very pleased with the final design for this invitation as it uses the Art Nouveau style but doesn’t look too cluttered. The illustration frames the main content of the invitation very nicely and the rounded corners of the invitation really add to the styling.

If you are interested in having your own bespoke wedding stationery in this styling or similar then please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
