Photo shoot




A few photos from a recent brand photoshoot in my studio taken by the talented Sol Collet.

A few words to describe my brand - handcrafted, high quality and creative.

I love how Sol captured all the wee details and how they turned out.

Rose Castle wedding invites

 




Hello and Happy New Year! This wedding stationery features my watercolour illustration of Rose Castle near Carlisle in a 'Wolf Hall' theme. 

The wax seals and velvet ribbon add texture which complements the detail in the envelope liners and the burgundy colour scheme ties it all together.

What do you think?

Tips for ordering stationery


It’s been a busy few weeks so I thought I would share a few tips for ordering your wedding stationery.

• You need one invitation per household, not per guest
• Order a sample, it’s much easier to see the quality of materials in real life than on a screen (see below)
• Check the proof several times then ask a friend or relative to double check too
• Post your invites second class rather than first as it’s a saving of £0.80 per invite (and they don’t take much longer!)
• Put on a date for people to reply by (ideally a month after they went out)
• Create a wedding email address for replies and wedmin
• Don’t leave it to the last minute!



Samples

 


I'm getting lots of enquiries at the moment. Samples can be ordered either on my website


or also on my Etsy Shop


If you have any questions then please do get in touch x

Studio

 


Hey, just me casually hanging around outside my studio!!

The Drill Hall is an interesting building which is A listed. It was built in 1901 for the Royal Scots Regiment and designed by the renowned architect Sir Rowand Anderson, who also designed the National Portrait Gallery on Queen Street. The building was used for many years as a barracks, training centre and a garage for military vehicles until it was turned into artists studios in 2003.

If you’d like to come and see me to discuss your wedding stationery then I love chatting about weddings! The studio is open by appointment only so please get in touch to make an appointment.

P.S. I work with clients from all over world, (currently Canada and the USA) so you don’t need to be local! x
