Art Deco Vintage Train Travel Wedding Reception Stationery

Last week one of my bespoke couples Laura & Matthew got married in a Vintage Travel and Art Deco themed wedding day. I had the great pleasure of designing their wedding reception stationery which was fantastic fun as they really allowed me to run with the theme.
You can see their wedding invitations which I designed earlier in the year here http://knotsandkisses.blogspot.co.uk/2015/02/vintage-railway-art-deco-wedding.html

For their wedding I designed placecards and order of service and also some bespoke signs for their Order of Day and Guest Book to match in with the theme.
My favourite element of their reception stationery though was the bespoke table plan which Laura wanted to have the feel of an arrivals board and also incorporate images of the vintage postcards which they were using for their table names.

Art Deco Train Travel Themed Save the Date Cards

I love working on bespoke stationery and I've been loving working on the theme Laura set me for her wedding stationery this year!
I can't wait to show you the design for the actual invitations which are really something unusual and special I think ... but in the meantime, today, I'm sharing the Save the Date card design I created to give a first glimpse of the theme.

Laura and Matthew are from York and their wedding is being partly inspired by the Railway Museum and partly by their love of Art Deco ... so my brief was to come up with a railway ticket inspired design in a vintage Art Deco design. The main invites will incorporate more of the 'railway' theme but for this design it is just a subtle hint.

If you like this design and would like me to create something similar for your wedding please don't hesitate to get in touch at info@knotsandkisses.co.uk or via the contact page on my website at http://knotsandkisses.co.uk

Steam Train Weddings!

I had the pleasure at the weekend of going down to Buckfastleigh and taking a trip of the South Devon Railway which runs between Buckfastleigh and Totnes. The journey only takes about half an hour but it is on the most gorgeous steam train with beautiful Art Deco or 1940s carriages and a very cute buffet car.
I was pleased to find out you can hire these trains out for wedding receptions. I could just see you having canapés on the platform after you have married in one of the local churches or venues and then hopping aboard the steam train for a sit down wedding breakfast in art deco splendour!

You can find out more about hiring one of the South Devon Railways trains on their website at http://www.southdevonrailway.co.uk/hire-a-train

Having a look around there are also several other trains you can have a wedding reception on around the country including the Bodmin & Wenford Railway in Cornwall http://www.bodminrailway.co.uk/private-hire ...

And also the Bluebell Railway in Sussex ... which also has a license for you to get married in their Waiting Room at the station! http://www.bluebell-railway.com/weddings-and-charters/

I hope this gives you a little bit of inspiration for your wedding
