New sponsor welcome: Wendy Bell Designs
Hi again! Time for some pretty unique wedding invitation designs to show you — beautiful, creative and standout wedding invites from Wendy Bell Designs.
I featured Wendy’s London wedding on the blog back in 2011 — she’d designed all her own stationery to fit with her choice of wedding venue, and it was absolutely divine! Wendy’s bespoke wedding invitation service promises to be outstanding, so do check out her official website to find out more.
As a sponsor of English Wedding blog, Wendy Bell Designs now has a dedicated Showcase Page which I think you’ll love — there are more pics on there of her personalised wedding invitation designs, alongside info on the bespoke wedding invitation service.
A guide to wedding stationery & invitations
I wonder how many of you brides and grooms out there started the month a day or two ago with a resounding rallying cry of, “Right!” If you’re marrying in 2012, it’s time to get stuck into your planning, and especially time to think about wedding invitations. And if my inbox is anything to go by, plenty of you are investigating your options for stationery already! So I welcomed this guest blog post from Confetti with open arms. I hope you find it useful!
This article is supplied by Confetti.co.uk. To see their range of wedding stationery, visit www.confetti.co.uk/wedding-stationery/
Wedding invitations for you
I promised you gorgeous, glamorous, bright and sexy wedding invitations, and here they are. Designed by Wendy Bell, whose wedding I featured on the blog yesterday, these invitations are pretty special — and right up my street.
Wendy’s Flamingo design was created for her wedding. She coordinated the wedding invitations to tie in with her wedding venue — the Roof Gardens in Kensington. The funky invitations take inspiration from the colourings of the wedding venue. The flamingos are found in their gardens and the dots symbolise the beaded curtains in the Roof Gardens club area. Wendy offers a bespoke invitation design service… and you can see just how much thought and attention to detail goes into the design process!

New sponsor welcome… it’s Miss Delicious

I have pet names for only a very select few wedding stationers. Zoe from Bunny Delicious just happens to be top of my list, and in more ways than one. I can’t remember quite where ‘Miss Delicious’ came from, but I like the sauciness of it… and it makes me smile whenever I see a Bunny Delicious design! I’ve known Zoe via the miracles of our modern interweb for years — and I’ve watched her creativity with growing delight.

The best 20 vintage wedding invites on the web!
It 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.
Wednesday Writes — it’s full of papery goodness
Damn it! Bloggers have rules: every Monday you do this, every Wednesday you do that… and the good bloggers play by the rules and get a buzz going every week. Guess who’s a bad wedding blogger? Haha.
So, after a break of — um — a couple of weeks? I bring you another fabulously papery lettery blog post with wedding stationery, calligraphy, graphic design and type. I hope it inspires you — I hope you enjoy today’s papery goodness.
Dare to Dream: Alice in Wonderland Wedding Inspiration
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.
