Cornish Flowers & Tartan Inspired Wedding Reception Stationery

Today I'm delighted to share with your the reception stationery I created for the lovely Olivia and Jonathan who got married on the 1st August at the gorgeous Boconnoc House in Cornwall.
The brief was for a classic elegant design incorporating elements of wild flowers and the groom's tartan and reflecting the Cornish landscape where they were getting married.
The couple also wanted a drawing of the church at Boconnoc incorporating into the Order of Service so I hand drew this element for them and added it to a set of matching stationery.

As well as the order of service there were matching table names, named after places in Cornwall, blank placecards for the couple to write their guest names on, menus and a table plan board.

I hope you like the design and if you would like to get in touch with me to design something similar for your wedding please don't hesitate to drop me an email to info@knotsandkisses.co.uk or have a look on the bespoke page of my website http://knotsandkisses.co.uk 

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.

 

If you are looking for a bespoke design for your Save the Date cards or wedding invitations please don't hesitate to get in touch at info@knotsandkisses.co.uk or have a look at the bespoke page on my website http://www.knotsandkisses.co.uk/bespokestationery.html .

And here are some styling ideas if you too are going for a classic neutral scheme for your wedding.

Classic Navy & Lace Wedding Stationery

I don't know about you but I can't believe it's the last day of September and tomorrow we're in October! As many of you may know October is going to be a very exciting month here at Knots & Kisses .. with the re-launch of the website, alongside 4 new Wedding Stationery ranges, new designs in my Simply K&K Ready to Write packs, new Greetings Cards designs and a whole new section of 'Occasion Stationery' packs .. including lots of lovely party invites! I'm so excited and I'll be starting to share little previews of the new items later this week ... all ready for the launch on the 21st October!

Back to today and I wanted to share with you a very pretty but classic design I worked on for a lovely Bride in Australia a few weeks ago. I do bespoke quotes for international orders so please don't hesitate to get in touch if you are from further afield!

Sarah wanted a very classic gatefold design with pretty white lace and navy ribbon. A script style font inside completed the classic look.

I think the Navy and Ivory colour combination calls for a bit of a classic vintage look when styling ...  so here are some ideas ...
