Couture wedding stationery
I spend my evenings googling random wedding inspiration, and nine times out of ten I love what I find. The buzz word of the moment in weddings is ‘couture’ – and that led me to Wanderlust Cards.
This decorative swan design is original and beautiful
I’ve known of Wanderlust Cards for years, since I started up my own business and they were regularly mentioned on Hitched wedding forums. I loved their opulent designs then, and it’s a delight to see they have a couture wedding stationery collection.

Dragonfly Couture Stationery
Dragonfly Couture Stationery prove their name is well chosen!
I’ve had the loveliest job this week of working with a set of wedding invitations and envelopes from Dragonfly Couture Stationery.
Based in the North West, Dragonfly provide a 100% bespoke wedding stationery design service, with letterpress and thermographic printing for your invitations – the ones I’ve been writing this week have been a gorgeous brown letterpress design.
I fell in love with their designs because they’re bold, striking and very sophisticated. Looking at their website they also have a nice green policy with recycling and planting trees (always a bonus for me), and tell us that Dragonfly is a happy place whose founder was ‘born at art school’ – I can well believe it!

Show and tell – wedding calligraphy
So, about those wedding suppliers I’m here to showcase – I’m still figuring out the best way to do it. It’s about finding a balance: I’m not interested in advertising blurb, I want to know about the people behind the businesses, and I want to read interesting blog posts. So hopefully my new ‘show and tell’ mini-interview feature will become a regular thing.
I hope this doesn’t come across as all ‘me, me, me!’ but I thought I should go first. It wouldn’t be fair of me to ask other suppliers to do my little interviews if I wasn’t prepared to put any effort into this myself. And since I’m on a bit of a quest to find my blogging personality, I thought it’d be fun to have a go.

Wedding ideas: black and white
Once again inspired by Sunday’s Irish wedding sent in by Greenlees Photography, and with thanks yet again to bride Jo’s fantastic sense of fun – this wedding blog post pays homage to Guinness. Yes. Well, why not?!
So to honour the velvety black and white imagery Guinness have used for years, I’ve found the best black and white wedding ideas on the web. (OK, it’s tenuous – but the ideas are gorgeous, so stick with me!)

Wedding ideas: inspired by art
This last post of the week inspired by Helen and Paul’s fantastic Shottle Hall wedding is all about art-inspired wedding stationery.
Two of Chris Hanley’s photographs really made me smile, and got me thinking about how UK brides can use art in their wedding themes. The logical starting point is wedding invitations of course – so here are some of my favourite ideas for you.
These are the photos that inspired this feature:
