Lauren & Dionysios' Greek Island Wedding
 

Lauren and Dionysios got married on the beautiful island of Andros, on the secluded Vitali Beach.

It has not yet been discovered as a party location like close by Mykonos, so it is beautifully quiet and laid back, with some fab beaches.

Their pals at Kampos Beach Bar transformed their bar and kept the cocktails flowing (the best drinks I’ve ever had at a wedding!). They surrounded the party with loads of white flowers, festoon lights and good vibes.

A blue dip dye design was chosen for the stationery, to match the original invites and complement the ocean location.

We chose 600gsm Cranes Lettra paper to withstand the triple dipping and finished with blue calligraphy and a classic serif typeface.

The menus were layered with vellum paper and attached with a white wax seal as a nod to their original invites (we sent these out in 2019 but a little thing called Covid got in the way of the big day ☹️).

I was so thrilled to have helped with the stationery and be included in the wedding party. What a beautiful day! It has gone right in my memory box.

If you fancy taking a trip to Andros, the ferry is just a short 2 hour ride from Athens (which can be booked here), and I can highly recommend staying at Nikos and Chrisanthi’s tranquil Paradise Design Apartments in the centre of Batsi - you won’t find a nicer host, or a nicer view!

 
Izzy & Brett's Sri Lanka Wedding
 

Izzy and Brett got married in the most beaaaaautiful venue in Sri Lanka. It was right on the beach, lit by lanterns and covered in gorgeous foliage.

 
 
 

We created gold feather place names to add to their tables and a linen table plan that could be shipped all the way from London.

The table plan was digitally printed and then hand finished with gold pigment to match the feathers. Take a peep below to see their beach wedding in all its glory 😍

 
Little Book For Brides ~ Louie Tilley Lettering
 

2018 is looking set to be a busy year for weddings so I am super chuffed to be featured in the Little Book For Brides directory alongside all the other lovely stationery bods.

Beautiful bespoke wedding stationery, chalkboards and signs finished off with exquisite calligraphy and brush lettering by Louie. We adore her work.

Give me a shout if you have a wedding next year and need some advice; I work on the teeniest detail such as place names all the way up to entire packages on the day, nothing is too small and I'm always up for a cuppa and a brainstorm!

 
Helen & Chris' Countryside Wedding
 

Helen and Chris' wedding was held in the beautiful county of Essex and it was tipis and festoon lights galore. Not to mention a well stocked gin bar, gospel choir and welly throwing.

The marquee was decorated in ivy foliage, gypsophelia, candles and a whole host of gorgeous friends and family, including a very well behaved little 1 year old bridesmaid.

We created bespoke place names brush lettered in a gorgeous gold pigment on heavy hammered ivory card to complement the natural theme. Table plans were finished off with lots of lovely mini chalkboard details and signs directed the guests where to go.

Have a nose below at the lovely day and get in touch if you need help with lettering on the big day - just about anything is possible and weddings are my absolute favourite!

Wedding Direction Signs

Direction signs have been one of the most asked for items - so I have added brand spanking new chalkboard arrows to the shop! You can pick from the lettering options available or create bespoke signs, you can even choose gold lettering if you like.

The arrows come ready to hang and are a nice durable coated wood. Perfect for hen dos and engagement parties as well!

Kate & Simon's New Zealand wedding
 

Well you don't get much better than a party in sunny New Zealand do you?!

Kate & Simon got married in the gorgeous Old School Forest in the Bay of Plenty. What a ruddy dreamy setting.

 

Their theme was gold and mint, so we opted for metallic gold ink for brush lettering name settings, a big ole seating for eating table plan and lots of little chalkboard signs dotted around for guests. 

This was an interesting one for logistics! The bride loved chalkboards, so I worked with some pretty nifty chalkboard vinyl so we could roll up the table plan and send it on the plane with her fabulous sister. It was popped in a beautiful gold frame and ta daaaaa, one table plan for 113 hungry Kiwi bellies :).

Here's some pics, and a huge thank you to the bride and groom, I am always very appreciative to have photos of their day shared with me.

 
A beautiful Greek wedding
 
 

It is not often I get to attend a wedding in such a lovely location AND do some lettering for it, totally spoilt! This wedding was held on the amazing island of Amorgos (any 'The Big Blue' film fans out there?)

We created some Greek lettering for some tags...

...and the tags got tied on to some gorgeous bergamot jam favours!

It was the prettiest setting everrrrr. And so I stayed there for an extra week. Just what the doctor ordered and how could I leave with this view?!

 
A spot of wedding photographer branding

Sometimes, juuust sometimes, a client has such a clear idea of what they want and you have ideas sparking straight away, that a perfic little collaboration ensues! For this hand lettering commission, I worked with the very lovely wedding photographer Terri Pashley on her new logo and branding. The result is a lovely, modern website and some rather fabulous gold embossed business cards! Projects like this remind me why I love being in the creative industries.

Brides and grooms, take note, Terri has a superb eye for detail and is booking up for 2017/8.
