What happened?

Well, I just noticed I hadn't blogged since April! I don't know what happened in the time in between, well, yes I do, but it just went to fast!!
In between my usual work of wedding stationery and freelance graphic design, we have been decorating here at home and in another property which we rent out, organising our own wedding and all the other usual chores. We're exhausted! Luckily we have had help on the DIY front from family, and I have had some help on my stationery 'production lines' from my parents who are very arty/crafty people too!

'Hello' to Louise & Richard who married on 10th May and Katrina and Nigel who married on 9th May - hope your wedding days were wonderful! Louise & Richard had the 'Flutterby' range of stationery designed specially for them, its now available to all (see above pic)! Katrina and Nigel had the 'Simplicity' range which is a classic and romantic design.

This Saturday (24th) is the wedding of Fiona and Rob, so good luck to you and to Elin and Tom for the 31st May.

Phew!

What a week! We have booked our wedding for next year! Aboard a cruise ship - so we'll be married by the captain at sea. If anyone out there is trying to book this type of wedding you'll know how difficult it is to research, and then at the end to get the cabins you want, the ship you want and the destination as well! I'm thinking of adding a page to my website about it as there doesn't seem to be enough info out there! We are so grateful to Dawn, our agent who made the whole thing possible! Thank you!!!
I have designed our wedding stationery (with some help from my fiance) and will be making the invitations this week, as guests will have to know way in advance to make sure they get cabins! So far we have 14 guests booked, and thats before we send out the invites! We hope to have more - it should be great day and we hope very memorable.
Well, enough about ours, I have to get back on track with everyone else's now! I have a lot of weddings happening during May so lots of orders of service, placecards and table plans to do.
BBL :o)

My first treasury appearance!

Today I have been featured on a treasury page at Etsy for the first time!
Its my Marilyn Monroe portrait from my Etsy Art Shop and was featured by Jan from Galerija Baltica - thanks Jan!

Friday - again?!!

Can't believe the week has flown so quickly. The weather today is grey and damp, quite a shock after the summery day we enjoyed yesterday.

Today is the wedding day of my clients Emily & Phil, so I wish them all the very best for their future together, and here is a pic of their guest book...
There seem to be a lot of April weddings this year and even more in May!


In other news my Mum has been busy making these gorgeous floral corsage (or gift decorations) - you choose whether you want a pin or foam sticky on the reverse. They are all 'one of a kind' (OOAK) and you can ask for other colours. They will appear in her Etsy shop over the weekend.

More Ostrich Feather pens

Just made! 3 more ostrich feather pens... This time, in luxurious purple, classy navy and feminine lilac. Click on my Etsy link (left) to see more details!

These pens are individually made, each one is a 'one of a kind' (OOAK) and is sure to wow your guests and look great in your 'signing the register' photos.

Let me know if you require another colour. More coming soon...

Hen and Stag Night Invites

I did post last week about my new hen and stag night invitations but never got around to putting up the photos. Here they are... They cost £14.95 fo 10 personalised invitations and £14.95 for the poster artwork (which you can have emailed to you for printing out at home as often as you wish!)...

If you want to buy them direct please go to my online shop at Etsy or email me with your requirements.

Our Wedding

Well, in other news this weekend, me and my lovely fella got engaged on Good Friday... So now we can start planning our own wedding (including the stationery of course!) for early next Summer. After all the weddings I've been professionally involved in over the years its very exciting to be thinking about my own!
Better go now, still have my usual wedding work to do - I'll have to try and not think about ours during work hours...
