Vintage Floral Botanical Style Save The Date Cards & Wedding Inspiration

I've been looking forward to sharing today's stationery post since I met the lovely Abi & Craig for a bespoke consultation earlier this year!
They were after a bespoke botanical style, especially loving RHS Botanical prints and old Victorian seed packets. We had a lovely chat over tea, biscuits and their wedding Pinterest board and I came away very inspired!

I've always loved RHS prints myself .. in fact one of my guest bedrooms is decorated in this style with sage greens and pinks and botanical prints on the wall ... so I needed no further inspiration to start creating a design, initially, for Abi & Craig's Save the Date cards.
We decided on a tag style, mixing a little bit of the lace that Abi liked with the more rustic Brown Kraft style that was influencing Craig. I also incorporated a bespoke floral envelope liner to complete the look.

Here are the Save the Dates I created ... I can't wait to make their Day Invitation Packs later in the year!

I've also put together a botanical inspired moodboard in lovely sage greens and pinks to match these Save the Date cards.

Classic & Elegant Save the Date Cards

I hope you all had a lovely time over New year ... and congratulations to any of you who may have got engaged over the holidays!
You may well be starting to think of sending Save the Date cards out ... and today I have some very special Save the Date cards to share with you.

Last year two of my best friends got engaged and asked me to design their wedding stationery for them. I was so excited but also incredibly apprehensive about designing stationery for people I knew incredibly well!
We decided to go for neutral colours with a hint of shimmer and a heavy weight textured card, as a colour scheme hadn't yet been finalised. My friends wanted a design that was very personal to them and so I incorporated a monogram motif using their initials, and also a bespoke sketch of part of their gorgeous venue.
To make it a bit more unusual I used a pocket format so guests pulled the wording card out using ribbon.

Wedding Stationery : Pretty Rustic Save the Date Tags

Hope you all had a lovely Bank Holiday Weekend and the weather wasn't too gruesome for you! I had a few friends visiting from London and had a fantastic potter around Devon :)

I wanted to share with you this morning some Save the Date Designs I have been working on recently for a very special wedding planner, who also happens to be getting married next year :)
She wanted something pretty but also rustic so we used some hessian, string and manilla card to create the look. Prettying (is that a word?!) it up with lace and a florals.
Here are some of the designs I came up with ....

Its definately inspired me to create a range of sweet little Save the Date tags to offer to my clients ... so watch this space! :) In the meantime if you'd like me to create something like this for you please don't hesitate to get in touch by emailing me at info@knotsandkisses.co.uk or filling in the contact form on the website www.knotsandkisses.co.uk
