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 

Table Plans And Seating Charts to Match Your Wedding Stationery

One of the most popular service I offer is Table Plan design. I don't insist that you need to have ordered your invitations from me to order any reception stationery items so if you like one of my many designs of Table Plans and just want to order one on its own for your wedding that's no problem at all.
Here is a small selection of my 'off the peg' designs but you can see the rest on my website at http://knotsandkisses.co.uk

 

I also create and hire out vintage suitcase table plans for those of you in the Devon & Cornwall area details of which can be found on the website at http://knotsandkisses.co.uk/tableplansandsigns.html along with details of other bespoke designs I can do for table plans.

Bespoke Wedding Table Plan Tags

Hello March! After a gorgeous sunny day on Saturday ... ok I was working but it definitely looked gorgeous out my office window! ... and me noticing the first green shoots on my hydrangea plant in the garden, it definitely feels like spring is on its way finally. ( I hope me saying that doesn't curse everything!).
It also means that I'll be taking a short holiday from the 5th to 11th this week for a nice relaxing hotel break in the Cotswolds for a couple of nights ... followed by a probably less relaxing but lots of fun 3 nights at Centre Parcs in Longleat for a friends birthday celebrations!
So the office will be closed .... but don't worry I'll be scheduling lots of blogs whilst I'm away and the website will still be open for orders of wedding stationery samples, greetings cards (don't forget to get those Mothers Day card orders in!) and party invitation packs. All orders will be processed on my return however.

Back to today and today I'm making some bespoke table plan tags for a bride who is making her own vintage suitcase style table plan.
I do hire suitcase table plans out myself ... you can take a look at details and prices here ... http://www.knotsandkisses.co.uk/bespoketableplansandsigns.html , however for those people who don't live within deliverable distance of me or would prefer to do it themselves I also often just make the Table Plan Tags for people to use.
These can be hung in a suitcase like this suitcase table plan which I created and was styled by the lovely Kirsten from http://littleweddinghelper.co.uk ...

 

... or you could use them to attach to a mirror, board, chalkboard or even a birdcage.
Bespoke designs can be created to match your theme but here are a couple of examples of tag designs I have done for clients in the past ...

If you would like me to create a bespoke design for your Table Plan Tags just contact me via the website http://www.knotsandkisses.co.uk/contactus.html or email me direct at info@knotsandkisses.co.uk

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 ...

 



English Country Garden Suitcase Table Plans

Back at the end of April I was contacted by the lovely Kirsten from The Little Wedding Helper http://littleweddinghelper.co.uk/ who does the most amazing wedding styling .. great for couples who have a blank canvas wedding venue and just don't know where to start!

Kirsten was working with a couple who wanted to create a Vintage English Country Garden feel for their .. quite frankly ... enormous wedding in Southampton!
They loved the idea of a 'suitcase table plan' and so Kirsten asked me to get involved to create the plans for them.

I was very excited as anyone who as seen my house knows I have a bit of obsession about vintage luggage! There are currently two small cases stacked and acting as a side table in my lounge and a very large steamer trunk for bed linen in my guest room :)
So I happily sourced the Internet and local antique shops for some gorgeous cases I could use to make the table plan and then picked some pretty pink and green floral and striped contrasting fabrics to reline the insides with.
I finished the look by hanging alternately designed card tables from lace strung across the cases and attached them with little white pegs.

They needed 3 suitcases for all the tables rather than just one, so once I had produced the plans Kirsten styled them at the venue .. setting them up on different levels and adding flowers and pearls to create just the right feeling!

I am delighted to announce that I will be adding the Suitcase Table Plans to my regular ranges on my website very soon!
They will be available on a hire basis and if you are within 20 miles of Okehampton I will happily come and set them up at your venue for you ... or they will be available to pick up. If you are elsewhere in the country they can also be posted for a fee and will need to be returned via post by yourselves once used.
They can of course be re-lined and designed to suit your individual colour scheme or theme ... so if you would like to enquire about hiring one of the suitcase table plans for your wedding please don't hesitate to get in touch, either via the contact form on the website http://knotsandkisses.co.uk or by emailing me direct at info@knotsandkisses.co.uk

An Art Deco Movie Themed Wedding!

Welcome to another new week here on the Knots & Kisses blog ... I can't believe how quickly 2013 is racing along! Its already Chelsea Flower Show week and although I can't describe myself as massively green fingered I try my best with my garden and love watching Chelsea for all the beautiful floral inspiration ... flowers often influence my stationery work so I can class it as research right!??

Back to today and I'm delighted to share with you some bespoke reception stationery I designed for the lovely Kerri & Mike who got married this weekend and had a Movie Themed Art Deco style wedding. As opposed to the usual black ivory and grey colour combinations usually associated with art deco Kerri & Mike wanted to go with a deep purple and bronze colour combination.

Here is the table plan I came up with .. if you would like me to come up with a similar bespoke design for your wedding then please don't hesitate to get in touch at http://knotsandkisses.co.uk ...

A Wonderland Wedding Reception & Stationery

I don't know about you but I can't believe its only 10 days till the end of January! This month has flown by and enquiries are flooding in for wedding stationery for 2013 and beyond!
I hope all of you are coping ok with the snow. Here in Okehampton we've barely had any! This means that I'm getting parcels out to my clients on schedule ... however I have been informed by the Post Office that due to the snow in other areas parcels may still be delayed. So if you are waiting for something from Knots & Kisses please bear with us :)

On to today's blog, and I wanted to share with some reception stationery I have done recently for a lovely couple who ordered by Wonderland range of Wedding Stationery http://www.knotsandkisses.co.uk/wonderland.html  last year.

For their reception stationery they ordered some of the Wonderland placecard tags, table names and a table plan.



If you would like to order the Wonderland range for your wedding just drop me an email at info@knotsandkisses.co.uk or visit the website http://knotsandkisses.co.uk . In the meantime here are a few styling ideas for Wonderland themed weddings! ...

Bespoke Autumnal Wedding Reception Stationery

I've been really enjoying this year on working on some gorgeous Autumnal stationery for one of my lovely brides.
You may remember me sharing their brown manilla style concertina style stationery earlier in the year ...

The couple decided for their reception they were going to go for a real harvest festival theme .. with the addition of apples and pine cones and so I designed their table plan and table names to reflect this.



I can't wait to see photos of this wedding ... I think its going to be amazing!

A Storybook Wedding Table Plan

Hope you're all having a fabulous bank holiday weekend and are in some way enjoying the Jubilee celebrations!
Firstly a quick apology for the erratic blog posting lately! We started moving stuff down to Devon this weekend and are moving properly on the 9th so things at Knots & Kisses HQ are a little crazy at the moment. I have a few more orders to finish off this week and then I'll be taking 4 days off from Thursday to pack up the business and move to our new house in Okehampton :)

Today I wanted to share with you the table plan I created for a lovely couple Rachel & Ben who got married yesterday ... congratulations guys!
They ordered my Storybook range http://www.knotsandkisses.co.uk/storybook.html for their wedding stationery and also ordered matching reception stationery including a printed table plan. Table plans aren't currently on the website and are priced on a bespoke basis so please get in touch and email me at info@knotsandkisses.co.uk if you would like me to create a table plan for your wedding reception.

Enjoy the rest of your Bank Holiday Weekend!
