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 ...

Pretty Modern Wedding Cakes

Wow finally its Friday! I have to say its been a struggle being self employed over the last week as I've been struggling with feeling like I've got the flu .. but obviously unable to take time off due to many orders to make and finish. My other half has been a star however, helping me out, and is also taking me away for the weekend :)
So apologies for the lack of blog post on Wednesday but to make up for it here are some beautiful and inspiring wedding cakes that I've found recently. The theme is 'Pretty but Modern' and I think all of these cakes prove you can have a thoroughly modern wedding cake without compromising on beauty!

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.
