Wedding of Sharon & Paul - 20th August 2010

Sandringham Collection
When Sharon and Paul got in touch after seeing my designs at the EDP Wedding Show 2010, I knew that this project was going to be exciting. We discussed many options, as Sharon was very keen on maintaining the right style and tone from the invitations all the way through to her reception. The final stationery package (which included invitations, poem booklets, place names, table menus, table names and table plan) comprised a sophisticated dark grey backing card and taupe lilies illustration, which echoed the beautiful flower arrangements Sharon had chosen for her tables and bouquet.
For the guests doing readings at the ceremony at Taverham Hall, I designed bespoke poem booklets, and also two different versions of the invitation - one with transport details for guests staying at the venue of Dunston Hall, and the other without these details. The bride and groom's love of champagne inspired their table names, and the grey/taupe colour scheme Sharon had chosen looked perfect against the crisp white linen and sparkling glassware.
This project was the first time I had used these colours, and I know that Sharon, Paul and I were very pleased with the final results. 

 








Congratulations Sharon & Paul

Wedding of Sue & Brian – 3rd October 2010

Blickling Collection
Sue & Brian had met the ‘I Do...’ team at the EDP Wedding Show in Feb 2010 - after taking our brochure and deciding on her colour theme, it wasn’t until June that Sue contacted us again to create a sample of their chosen design from the Blickling collection. With the wedding only three months away, we needed to design, proof and approve at speed with a four week turnaround time for delivery.
The deep claret red Sue had chosen featured throughout the whole wedding, from wedding dress and flowers to cake and favours, so the Blickling collection in claret matched perfectly. The collection also included Place Name Cards, Table Menus, Table Names, an A1 Table Plan and finally the Thank You Cards. Sue was keen to include her passion for horses in the theme by coming up with the idea to name the tables after various famous equine sporting locations, and this was matched on the Table Plan.
Sue & Brian held both the marriage ceremony and wedding breakfast reception at Park Farm Hotel, Hethersett. 
It was a pleasure working with Sue & Brian on creating their wedding stationery. A delightful couple, we wish them all the best for their future together.












Congratulations Sue & Brian
