Olive Weddings was created by graphic designer Ruth Snell and is run from a small studio in a leafy suburb of Cardiff, Wales.

Ruth’s work was recently highly commended at the 2018 Welsh Wedding Awards and has been featured in countless national wedding magazines. She has even provided stationery for a number of celebrity weddings during the ten years she has worked as a wedding stationer.

Ruth offers a complete wedding stationery service. The Olive Weddings website showcases her stunning range of beautiful wedding invitation designs and offers free sample packs along with tailored samples in tailored colours, designs and formats for a small fee.

Olive Weddings also offers a gorgeous range of finishing touches such as belly bands, eye-popping bakers twine, tags and mix-and-match patterned envelope liners, including some luxe botanicals and trendy geometric designs.

A bespoke design and illustrated stationery service is available for those seeking an even more personalised set for their big day. Ruth is a talented illustrator and has produced many original drawings for couples looking looking for something unique to reflect themselves or their wedding.

As her client testimonials tell, the real quality comes from her highly personalised service, as clients develop their ideas and work with Ruth to achieve their dream invite set:

“I make sure my clients know that there’s no silly questions, deciding the final combination of palette, wording, fonts and the finer details can be daunting and complicated and I’m here to help!’

‘I am passionate about design in all its forms and the latest wedding trends, so at Olive Weddings I make sure that I offer the very latest colours and formats for my range of original designs to suit all tastes and budgets.

‘My current favourites which are also immensely popular are my illustrated stationery, including sumptuous watercolour wreaths and garlands or a bespoke venue illustration.’

For the big day itself, Ruth can cater for stunning menus, order of service and signage right through to that perfect table plan solution with matching place name cards.

“The best bit is when people tell me how delighted they are with their invites… even better when they hear from their impressed guests! I also love it when couples send photos from the big day itself; my stationary in the most beautiful settings. It’s a privilege to be a part of people’s special day, working with them along the way, helping them to find the perfect combination or designing something original from scratch. I am lucky to spend my time doing what I love best – making happy couples even happier! ’
