A few sneak peaks..
I’ve been a busy bee this week so unfortunately this isn’t a long blog post.. Just a few tantalising tidbits to keep you going until I get more organised!
No. 13: Finishing Touches and Coming Up!
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.
No. 4: Table Plan Board Stage 1
Days to go: 70
A quickie today (as I’m still feeling pretty dire and can’t see properly out of my left eye!) — yesterday Richard and I busied ourselves with the first stage of building our table plan board!
A while ago I found some real vintage music on eBay — on the theme of love! — for around £2 per song, which we cut up and glued to an A1 mount board (found in Ryman stationers for £7.99).
Et voila!

The Wedding Show stars: Inspired by Lisa
Wedding stationery for springtime — these designs are fun and colourful, bright and happy, from Inspired by Lisa.
Lisa’s stand was a busy one at The Wedding Show on Saturday, and we barely had time to say hello and admire one of her beautiful table plans. What did strike me immediately was the quality of her wedding stationery. Invitations were beautifully made, table plans flawless, and there was an air of elegance and sophistication about the exhibition stand.
Rebekah Daley delights
Charlotte & Matt’s Wiltshire wedding reception actually made me squeak with delight when I saw Rebekah Daley’s designs featured. I’ve admired Rebekah ever since I set up my own wedding business — as a calligrapher I illustrate flowers and abstract designs on wedding poems. It’s nothing compared to Rebekah’s talents: I’d LOVE to be able to draw the elegant bridal portraits Rebekah excels at. These are simply divine!
I caught up with Rebekah Daley at the weekend and she told me, “We have worked with some wonderful and creative brides, from Grace Kelly and Marie Antoinette inspired weddings to vintage mini cooper table décor and pink Parisian themes.”

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:
