Modern White, Grey & Navy Chevron Wedding Stationery & Inspiration

Can you believe its February! Already a month into this year and its feels like 2014 is flying by! I had such a busy week last week .. filled with wedding stationery orders, greetings card orders and lots of work on the new Spring Collections! I also had a lovely visit to beautiful Arts & Crafts wedding venue Coombe Trenchard, which isn't too far from where I am in Okehampton ... I hope to bring you lots more on this venue soon.

Today I'm concentrating on a design which I created for a lovely couple recently ... who are based in South Africa but getting married in the UK this year.
Danielle & Christiaan opted to adapt one of my existing wedding stationery ranges, Graphic Prints, to suit their wedding scheme. This is a great option for any of you out there who would like something a bit more bespoke but don't want to stretch to booking a whole bespoke package ... as it costs just a small fee of £25. (Take a look at the existing designs on my website http://knotsandkisses.co.uk ).

Danielle & Christiaan went for a simple navy and white chevron band and grey backing card to compliment their wedding and I think it worked really well ...

Obviously some of the details on the image are blocked out to protect client privacy.

I would love to style a wedding with this scheme. Keeping things very simple with crisp white linens, perhaps a navy chevron table runner and some beautiful white flowers tied with navy and white ribbon. Its a classic scheme but with a modern twist with the addition of grey and the chevron pattern.

I hope this has inspired some design ideas for your wedding ... and if you would like to get in touch with regards to adapting one of my existing designs or creating a bespoke design for you then just drop me an email at info@knotsandkisses.co.uk or contact us via the website http://knotsandkisses.co.uk/contactus.html

Introducing A New Range Of Wedding Stationery - Perfect Place

Hopefully you caught this mornings blog post and saw the new Snow Queen range of Wedding Stationery. This afternoon I'm featuring the third of the new Wedding Stationery range called 'Perfect Place'. http://knotsandkisses.co.uk

Perfect Place was inspired by a bespoke design for a client who contacted me wanting a sketch of her beautiful lakeside venue incorporating into her wedding stationery. I absolutely love sketching out anything bespoke to incorporate into clients invitations so was delighted to do this. I came up with quite a clean modern look for the stationery which used quite strong typography and  a ‘monogram’ motif of the clients initials.

 

 

It got me to thinking how lovely it would be to have a standard range on the website where I could draw an image of a place that was special to each client to incorporate into the stationery. This could be the place you met, your wedding venue, where you proposed … anything that means something to you as a couple. I will hand draw the venue and then this is used as a motif throughout your stationery.

With the neutral colours and classic style I think ‘Perfect Place’ could suit a lot of wedding schemes.

Available as a folded square, pocketfold or postcard style invitation, with a full matching range of reception stationery … including my new range of Guest Books and Simply KandK Blank Invitation Packs.

To match a classic black and ivory moodboard ...

Tomorrow I'll be featuring the last of the new wedding stationery ranges, Tropical Travel, and also my brand new collection of Occasion Stationery and Party Invitations!

Classic Reception Stationery With Sketches of The Wedding Venue

Hello all ... I hope you all had a good weekend .. it was a jam packed one for me finishing an order of reception stationery.
Talking about reception stationery ... I'd like to share with you today the reception stationery I designed to match invitations I created for Evelyn & Simon earlier in the year.
The brief was for the stationery to be classic and neutral and to incorporate a sketch of their beautiful lakeside wedding venue in Ireland.

Here is the stationery I designed including placecards and table names .. and also a header and table plan cards which they could pin to a board or display themselves rather than having a large set table plan board.

 

As I mentioned the stationery was designed to match a invitation set I designed for the couple earlier in the year which I've shown below. If you would like a similar design for your wedding, including a bespoke sketch of your venue by me, please don't hesitate to get in touch via the contact page on the website at http://knotsandkisses.co.uk

 



And here's a wedding moodboard to match ...

 



Dusky Pink & Modern Typography Wedding Stationery

I don't know about you but I've rather been enjoying the thunderstorms and tropical weather of late .. it sort of reminds me of when I was travelling round south east Asia! ( Although a if it headed back a little bit more to the tropical than the thunderstorms that would be good ).
It's definitely put me in the mood for some of the bespoke design work which I've been working on over the last week for a couple who are getting married in Thailand and want a colourful tropical look to their wedding invitations.
Hopefully I'll be sharing this design with you very soon.

Today, however, I want to share another design I worked on for some clients recently. Joanne and Neil loved the modern typography look of my Graphic Prints range but wanted to mix this with a plain but pretty dusky pink band and envelope liner, rather than the bright printed ones which come as standard with the range.
Combined with a mid grey backing card it was a really simple and elegant combination.

 

 

If you would like a bespoke version of my Graphic Prints range for your wedding please don't hesitate to get in touch via the contact form on the website at http://knotsandkisses.co.uk

 

To go with this design I've come up with a modern but elegant moodboard. The grey colour takes the edge off what normally might be an overly pretty colour scheme.

Wedding Styling Moodboard : Strong Typography And Modern Neutrals

If you were reading the blog yesterday you will have seen the Modern Neutral Wedding Stationery Postcards I created for Evelyn & Simon's Wedding, which included a bespoke sketch of their venue and some gorgeous black and neutral coloured typography.
Here is a moodboard I've created for this modern neutral colourscheme to help you style your wedding.
Strong typography and subtle colours create a modern look but with just subtle vintage elements.

Bespoke Modern Neutral Wedding Stationery Postcards

Back to work with a vengeance this morning after a gorgeous weeks holiday in the sizzling Cornwall sun! Really did totally luck out with the weather and spent some fab time wondering round the Eden Project and Lost Gardens of Heligan :) Hope you all managed to get some sun time as well and enjoyed the blogs I had scheduled last week.

Today I want to share with you a bespoke stationery design which I created for a lovely couple last month.
Its a design where I incorporated some hand drawn elements as well as typography and loved drawing the clients venue to use on the front of the design. I'm so pleased with it I may make it the basis for a brand new range so definitely keep your eyes peeled! In the meantime if you would like me to come up with a similar design for your wedding please get in touch at info@knotsandkisses.co.uk or via the website at http://knotsandkisses.co.uk

 

Check back on the blog tomorrow as I'll be a sharing a 'modern neutrals' moodboard to go with this stationery!

Graphic Chevron Print Wedding Stationery in Navy & Mustard

Welcome to a new week here on the Knots & Kisses blog ... I hope you all had a fabulous weekend, even though the weather definitely took a turn for the worst again.
Despite that I managed to get some time in the garden on Saturday around finishing stationery orders so feel very relaxed and ready for the week ahead.

Last week was fantastic .. with the launch of my two new collections of wedding stationery http://knotsandkisses.co.uk
Today I'm looking in detail at the last of the colour combinations in the Graphic Prints Collection of stationery which comes in a Navy & Mustard Chevron pattern.

I love this colour combination ... it works really well with graphic prints and makes a refreshing combination for a modern wedding - as well as working quite well for a modern seaside feel as well.
As with the rest of the Graphic Prints range the Day and Evening Invitations come with a matching (or contrasting if you prefer) lined envelope and also comes with a full range of matching reception stationery.

 

 



Here's a matching wedding styling moodboard in gorgeous Navy & Mustard to go with the new collection.

New Wedding Stationery Collections Launch!

Hi everyone ... I hope you've all had a fantastic bank holiday weekend!

I'm very excited this morning as today sees the launch of my Spring Collection of Wedding Stationery which sees the addition of 2 new ranges to the website http://knotsandkisses.co.uk !

I have been developing ideas for these ranges for a while now and its fantastic to finally share them with you.

Both of the ranges aim to inject some bright colours and patterns to the existing collection of Wedding Stationery ranges so hopefully this sunny week is the perfect time for them :)

So here they are ...

The Graphic Prints Collection

The first collection ‘Graphic Prints’ continues my love of clean typography that I started in my Sketch range of stationery but with a cleaner, less rustic feel … using a modern band wrapped around the invitations in a choice of three graphic and slightly retro prints in a striking colour palette of Coral, Green, Grey and Mustard. Day & Evening Invitations come with matching printed envelope liners, but are also designed for clients to mix and match patterns as they wish!

Inspiration for this range came from my love of 1950s Swedish design and prints, and classic monochrome advertising and packaging.

I'll be sharing more images of this range tomorrow on the blog, including lots of styling inspiration to match.

The 'Rosie & Stitch' Collection

The second collection is called ‘Rosie & Stitch’ and is full of bright summery colours and fun floral prints and stripes. A yellow and pink floral print contrasts with a china blue and summery green and is inspired by vintage floral china and old embroidery samplers and stitching.


Day Invitations come as either a simple folded invitation or as a pocket style with information card and rsvp postcard inside.

I'll be featuring this collection on the blog on Thursday .. again with lots more images and styling ideas ... so make sure you check back then! And in the meantime you can see both new ranges and order samples on the website now at http://knotsandkisses.co.uk

Sketch Range - A Bespoke Service For Wedding Stationery

Hope you all enjoyed the fabulous Retro Living Room post on Monday ... I wish I was having a party just so I could hire one!

Today I wanted to look again at my Sketch range of Wedding Stationery.

Since its launch last year Sketch has proved incredibly popular .. not only for its modern typography with rustic touches, but also because it's so very easy to adapt and change to suit any wedding!
I am regularly changing the card colours used to a bespoke colour to suit a clients colour scheme ... so far this year I've done the range in a pale blue, a deep purple and a lavender colour.

Also I am more than happy to change the motif used at the top of the invitation to something bespoke designed for your wedding! As I hand draw all the motifs before using them on the stationery .. really anything goes.
Here are a few of the different motifs I have done for clients this year.

If you would like me to adapt the Sketch range for your wedding stationery please don't hesitate to get in touch via email info@knotsandkisses.co.uk or fill in the contact form on the website www.knotsandkisses.co.uk
