Stunning Stationery

Today I am delighted to be showcasing the fantastic work of Ruby at Paper Whispers.   The beautiful work that she creates is as individual as the clients she creates it for.


I asked Ruby what inspired her to start her business and she said   "I love creating beautiful wedding stationery that is truly unique. I was bitten by the design bug when planning my own wedding in 2008. I searched high and low for stylish modern stationery but I could not find any and ended up designing my own."



The first of our signature lines is actually based on my own wedding invitation. It is in a pocketfold style with a thoroughly modern twist. We incorporate photographs ranging from subtle engagement pictures to landscapes from the couple's own collection. We recently completed a beautiful black and white Parisian themed order with the Eiffel tower taking centre stage.



Our second signature invitation line is the vintage inspired collection. I love the vintage crystal beading of the 1920's and 1930's and I was keen to merge it in with stationery. Several of our cards carry delicate crystal beading carefully placed by hand. The amount of beading is easily changed as all our designs are customisable allowing the bride to control how much sparkle she would like

Our brand new line for 2011 is the Alice in Wonderland range. I am very excited about this range as it is full of lovely little miniatures. We have mini place cards (about the size of a 50 coin) and beautiful little tea time tags perfect for vintage tea parties.



We have also introduced the love jar guestbook which is a delicate glass jar that can be filled with handwritten love notes by guests at the wedding.

Utterly Enchanting

The definition of the word Enchanting is : fascinate, attract; captivate, enrapture : Source 


This is exactly what the gorgeous Tiaras and Jewellery  Enchanted Touches delivers.  I know I was particularly drawn to some of the stunning pieces that Fiona has created.   Today I delighted to be sharing some of her work so you too can be enchanted by them.

Add some sparkle
Icicle Tiara
Enchanted Touches was created by Fiona Bowles in 2010. After modelling bridalwear for 5 years.   Fiona was inspired to create her own range of tiaras and jewellery.  Having had the opportunity to wear an extensive variety of bridal accessories, it gave her a rare experience in understanding what is comfortable, a background of popular and different designs and most importantly - which styles looks great!

After speaking to many brides-to-be whilst modelling Fiona appreciates that every bride has distinctive and individual tastes and every wedding day is unique and special. 

One of my favourite pieces
Satyrium


Stationery collections were added Enchanted Touches, which use top quality materials at highly competitive prices. Up to 3 stationery samples can be sent free of charge and Fiona is more than happy to discuss your colour schemes and wedding themes to incorporate into the designs.

Bird of Paradise


Each piece is Fiona's own design and she would love to hear about your own ideas to make it the perfect piece for your dream wedding day.  You can contact her at fiona@enchantedtouches.co.uk and view her website Enchanted Touches  to see many more of these stunning designs.

Bringing Colour to your wedding

Having read a really interesting Blog today I thought I would share this with you.  The Perfect Pallet has a full range of colour pallets to make it easier for you to match up the colours for your wedding.   It gets away from the more common colours that you might use and gives you suggestion of colours you hadn't even considered, this can sometimes be hard to visualise when these combinations are being described to you.

So if you are stuck for a colour scheme check out their blog page, you won't be disappointed.
