The best 20 vintage wedding invites on the web!

Posted on July 13, 2011 by Claire

the best 20 vintage wedding invitationsIt really makes me smile to see how cre­ative you can all be — from your blog com­ments, emails and when I see which Eng­lish Wed­ding fea­tures are most pop­u­lar… it’s clear you love cre­ative wed­ding inspi­ra­tion — so today I have a treat for you! (and me!)

As a wed­ding cal­lig­ra­pher I have a bit of a thing for paper and type — noth­ing pleases me more than a nice font on warm paper with a bit of a twist to it. And the trend for vin­tage wed­dings has inspired a gen­er­a­tion of wed­ding sta­tion­ers and brides to cre­ate some really beau­ti­ful vin­tage wed­ding invites.  Read more…

Dare to Dream: Alice in Wonderland Wedding Inspiration

Posted on April 7, 2011 by Claire

Alice in Won­der­land is a fas­ci­nat­ing tale brim­ming with imag­i­na­tion and cre­ativ­ity. It starts off with Alice tum­bling into a very deep rab­bit hole but her descent is quite odd hav­ing time to see that the hole is lined with book shelves and glass jars.

At Paper Whis­pers, we love the unusual and cre­ative. One of the first Won­der­land inspired cre­ations we made was The Love Jar. It is a beau­ti­ful alter­na­tive (or addi­tion!) to the tra­di­tional guest book and would look stun­ning on the wed­ding table much like the jars Alice passed in her tum­ble.  Read more…

No. 13: Finishing Touches and Coming Up!

Posted on March 28, 2011 by Claire

Days to go: 39

It’s get­ting close! And I’m still bored of waiting!

Last night Richard and I got down to some seri­ous busi­ness with sort­ing out some of the fin­ish­ing touches for the wed­ding day.

There he is!

I knew there was a rea­son why I always keep boxes that I get things deliv­ered in. A decent sized All Saints box was given the vin­tage music treat­ment and is now our wed­ding card box for the day!

We’ve almost fin­ished the table plan — I just need to find some dark red rib­bon to stick around the edges to really make it look spe­cial.  Read more…
