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!

Calligraphy Wedding Place Cards

Modern Calligraphy / 2022-09-13

Introducing my new calligraphy wedding place cards!! It’s been a busy few months – especially with Christmas all those weeks ago! I’ve been spending any free time practising my calligraphy and working on some new products to add to my offering.

Handmade paper wedding place cards!

I found some lovely Khadi papers in lovely greys and off white. They have a nice weight to them and work really well for place cards. The textures are amazing – although not always that easy to write on with a dip pen! I like my wedding stationery to have a tactile quality and I think my new handmade items are that extra bit special. You can choose from a range of handmade papers or simple smooth cards and also the size and shape of your place cards, whether you have ribbon or string and what ink you would like on them. The possibilities are endless!

The simple off white khadi paper looks very pretty with a bronze coloured metallic ink and velvet ribbon, very luxurious. Or you could simply go monotone with blank Indian ink on white paper.

These could also be tent cards if you would rather go for a more traditional look.

Gold dipped wedding place cards!

These calligraphy place setting cards are simple and bold. I really like the thick gold paint along the edge and looks lovely with either clean cut edges or the torn / deckle edges. You could choose a different colour for the dip and maybe even a contrast colour for the names.

The pricing for these handmade wedding place cards ranges from £1 to £2 depending on the finish and quantity. Please contact me for a quote and to find out more.
