BESPOKE STATIONERY.
Your wedding invitations are the first glimpse of your wedding day, when they arrive through your loved ones letter box a part of your love story is about to be told and it should be special.
With creativity, detail and care, I work directly with you to create bespoke hand painted stationery, tailored to suit your wedding in it's own unique way.
If florals are your thing I will work with all the details from your florist to hand paint the beautiful blooms you'll hold in your bouquet, does your venue have a view you have fallen in love with, send me a picture and I will capture the beauty of it for you or are you tying the knot in a special town, village or city if that's the case I can fill your suite with all those special places that mean something to you as a couple.
As well as your invitations, I can keep telling your story with a whole host of wonderful wedding day items such as welcome signage, seating plans, place cards and orders of service's.
Nothing is off limits, I once used some watercolour birds to create a selection of bespoke groomsmen buttonholes, any ideas you have, big or small, I would absolutly love to explore them with you.
All work is designed and created by hand from my studio in beautiful North Devon, time attention and care is taken over every stage of the process. I choose the highest quality papers and offer a range of finishes and envelope styles.
Most importantly I keep in touch throughout the whole process.
This is your love story, I can't tell it without you.
A LITTLE ABOUT HOW THE BESPOKE SERVICE WORKS
Here is a little about the process, things will vary slightly from couple to couple to fit specific needs, but this should give you a good idea of how things will progress.
1. INITIAL CONTACT
If you are interested in working together on some beautiful stationery, either drop me an email here:

(Some pricing information is available here which may be helpful as a starting point)
