About me and calligraphy

I very rarely do this, but hey. I’m the wed­ding blog­ger with a wed­ding busi­ness, and one of my favourite cus­tomers has just emailed me some pho­tos of her place cards, com­plete with my very own cal­lig­ra­phy! So I thought I’d share.

Jo was a won­der­ful cus­tomer, we had a long email con­ver­sa­tion and I was really pleased to hear from her again after the wed­ding. It’s pretty much made my week! Jo, if you read this, thank you so much!

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.

More English vintage loveliness

Our last Eng­lish vin­tage wed­ding inspired post of the week is just to share a few wed­ding sup­pli­ers with you. These are all UK based, crafty com­pa­nies with a great cre­ative philosophy.

I’m a huge sup­porter of small busi­nesses in the UK, and work­ing in the wed­ding indus­try gives me a great insight into the amaz­ing net­work of small craft busi­nesses that work together to cre­ate beau­ti­ful wed­ding cel­e­bra­tions. Avoid the big stores, show some love for these unique and ded­i­cated wed­ding sup­pli­ers if you can!
