Everyone has Barbie fever this summer and with the blockbuster movie being released this week, pink is definitely having its moment.

With pink weddings set to be the next big trend, I couldn’t resist sharing some inspiration from this dreamy shoot with a wonderful team of suppliers.

As a wedding stationer, I get to work with couples all over the country (and the world), creating their dream wedding paper. Because my couples often live far and wide, it’s rare that I get to work with my industry friends on a real wedding.

When April and Mark booked me for their day at Dodford Manor, I was really delighted to discover that I knew some of the other suppliers on board.

Dodford Manor is an exclusive Grade II listed barn venue in the midst of the beautiful Northamptonshire countryside. A truly perfect location for an English countryside wedding.

Often when I speak to newly engaged couples, they’re a little bewildered by the vast number of options available for their stationery, especially when it comes to those little extras that give the perfect final flourish. 

Most stationers will have a list of extras that you can choose from (although what they each offer may vary), so I thought I’d share some of my favourite finishing touches that you can add to your save the dates and invitations.

Whenever Natalie Stevenson Photography gets in touch with me about a shoot, I know it’s going to be a good one and will leap at the chance to get involved.

This time, my stationery got to travel to the dreamy Château Bouffémont, just outside of Paris, one of the most romantic cities in the world. 

Once the concept was in place, Natalie reached out to luxury wedding planner Roberta Burcheri Events who helped plan everything to perfection and bring the vision to life.

With an abundance of florals, flawless hair & makeup and dresses to die for, this shoot evokes all things chic, giving you tonnes of inspiration for an ethereal, fine art wedding.

If you’re in the process of planning your wedding, chances are that you’ve considered including some DIY elements for your day (especially if you’re a creative couple).

One of the most popular things to DIY when it comes to weddings is calligraphy, and I can totally understand why. It’s a really relaxing and rewarding hobby and it’s relatively inexpensive in terms of start up costs too.

I’ve been practising modern calligraphy for over 5 years now, so thought I’d share a few tips and things to consider if you’re wanting to have a go for your own wedding.

Wedding season is well and truly in full swing and I’m working like a busy bee behind the scenes on some beautiful Day Of stationery orders.

While most of you getting married in the coming weeks will have planned your day stationery and table styling already, I know that some of you will still be needing to finalise those all important details. Or if you’re getting married next year, you may just want to start thinking about the overall look you’re going for in terms of colour palette and style.

Your wedding breakfast set up will of course be influenced by a few different factors including the location/venue and the season, so I thought I’d put together a selection of beautifully curated tablescapes for a range of different types of wedding.

If you’re reading this blog post, the chances are you’re at that really exciting stage of your wedding planning. Your venue is booked and now you can start looking at suppliers and all of the fun stuff like colour palettes and flowers. Next thing on the list is to tell your loved ones to save your date!

Summer is nearly upon us and we've still not had much nice weather in the UK this year. So I thought I'd share some destination wedding inspiration in stunning Santorini while we wait for things to warm up a bit.

The volcanic island of Santorini is one of the jewels of the Aegean Sea. Famous for its whitewashed houses nestled among dramatic cliffs, overlooking the brilliant blue sea, it's no wonder that the island is so popular for weddings and engagements.

This shoot was planned by the talented Natalie Stevenson Photography, who was inspired by the golden hues of the romantic Santorini sunsets.

Planning a wedding is super exciting but it can be time consuming and stressful at times too.

I think most couples are surprised by how much thought and admin goes into each aspect of the day, particularly when it comes to wedding stationery.

If you’re at the start of your wedding planning journey, these 5 top tips should help the stationery side of things run a little more smoothly.

Every wedding is special but when one of your closest friends is the Bride, it’s even more so!

Anna & David had a beautiful August wedding at Charlton Hall, a luxury venue nestled in the stunning Northumberland countryside.

With the look of a classic country manor house from the exterior, Charlton Hall is full of surprises when you step inside. From the quirky taxidermy, to the bold decor - this venue is definitely one to remember.

The day was perfectly captured by photographer, Lee Scullion.

After a lot of work behind the scenes, I’m so excited to finally be able to share my new collection of wedding invitation designs.

There are four new designs in the collection, including matching save the dates, details cards and RSVP cards.

All of the designs have an elegant, fine art feel but with a clean, modern twist.

A huge thank you to Natalie Stevenson Photography for taking such beautiful photos and truly bringing my new collection to life.

I don't know about you but the minute spring is upon us, I start daydreaming about hazy summer days, day trips to the beach and BBQs in the garden.

Those of you getting married this spring or summer will be vigorously ticking off your to-do lists as the countdown truly begins. I thought I'd share a dreamy meadow-inspired shoot, just in case you need any last minute wedding inspiration.

Autumn is such a gorgeous season for a wedding, lots of lovely golden light and so many beautiful and rich colours all around. It’s no wonder so many of you choose to get married at that time of year.

Spring hasn’t even properly sprung yet, so you may be wondering why I’m posting about autumn weddings but if you are getting married in September, October or November, now is the time to start thinking about your wedding invitations.

There are so many things to consider when you’re planning a wedding. With lots of suppliers to juggle and various dates to remember, it’s almost like a full time job in itself.

When you’re spinning so many plates, it’s easy to forget about your invitations. So I thought I’d put together a quick guide, just so you don’t end up in a pickle and leave it too late.

I know couples are often surprised by how much planning goes into their invitations, especially when it comes to the information they need their guests to know before the wedding. So I've put together a handy guide to help you along the way, whether you're opting for a printed stationery suite or keeping things simple and adding the finer details to your wedding website.

The world of weddings can be super overwhelming to a newly engaged couple. There are so many different things to consider: how many guests to invite, what you're going to eat, whether you're going to have a band or DJ (to name a few). It's no wonder couples sometimes find it stressful!

Once you've found your dream venue and got your date booked, the next step is to start booking your suppliers. So, where to start? Here are some simple tips to help you find your dream wedding team.

Your guest list is ready, you've found a stationer you absolutely love – what next? You'll need to come up with your invitation wording of course! Some stationers will be able to send you a form or a guide for your wording (myself included), but you definitely don't need to stick to a traditional format if it doesn't suit you. So here are some top tips for going it alone.

With Christmas right around the corner, it may seem a bit strange to be talking about spring already, but when you're planning your wedding you've definitely got to plan ahead.

Spring has always been my favourite season. There's just something in the air that hints to hopeful new beginnings. The beautiful florals and longer daylight hours certainly help too, so it's no wonder that so many of you choose to get married at that time of year.

2020 has been a very strange year for us all, but I know it's been especially trying for couples wanting to get married.

With lockdown 2.0 happening so late in the year, it's understandable that engaged couples will be wondering if even their 2021 wedding will be able to go ahead as planned. Now obviously, I don't have a crystal ball (oh how I wish I did!) but I'm really optimistic that weddings of some capacity will be able to go ahead and as an industry we're fighting for it to happen as much as we possibly can. Read on to see my guide for ordering invitations during these trying times.

If you're planning a destination wedding for 2021 and beyond, it's a good idea to start planning your stationery as early on as possible so that your guests can start thinking about booking flights and accommodation.

Your invitations give you the opportunity to set the scene for your guests, and give them a glimpse of what to expect from your wedding. And when you're getting married in such a beautiful location, there are so many ways you can get creative with your designs.
