Bespoke watercolour wedding stationery for a Yorkshire wedding

This bespoke watercolour wedding stationery has to be one of my favourite orders to date!

My bride wanted to use my Romeo and Juliet watercolour design but give it a green watercolour wash to look almost like hills for their wedding at Falcon Manor. She also asked me to paint a collection of Yorkshire scenes, some of which were very familiar to me! These were to be used for the table names and the table plan.

Having lived in Yorkshire for 20 years before I disappeared off to university it was lovely to have the opportunity to paint some local landmarks for their bespoke watercolour wedding stationery. Especially the Skipton image with the barge on the canal, I used to walk over this section of the canal most days to get to and from the train station to school!

I was very pleased with how the paintings came out and they looked great all together on the table plan. I also created these lovely handmade place settings which also double up as a bookmark for guests to use! Each place setting was painted with a wash of watercolour to match the rest of the stationery then finished with gold calligraphy and deep emerald green tassels. The menus also had gold calligraphy added to the top to tie everything together.

I think painting venues and scenes is fast becoming my favourite part of my job. I really enjoy creating such bespoke wedding stationery that feels very personal to the bride and groom. If you would like to add a watercolour illustration to your wedding stationery and or have some completely bespoke watercolour wedding stationery then please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

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

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!
