The Design Shop

In The Design Shop you'll discover my thoughtfully designed range of 'ready to go' paper pretties which pair exceptional quality design and print with creativity, versatility and a big old hit of heart, helping you to find the style that fits you perfectly.

Whether your joy is found in jewel tones and geometrics, contemporary elegance, delicate florals or an all-out explosion of colour, you can trust in my experience as a designer to guide you through the selection, customisation, and printing of your chosen design.

Bespoke Design

If you're looking for a more personalised touch, my bespoke design service is perfect for you. This option allows us to collaborate closely, bringing your unique vision to life. We'll start with a blank canvas, working together to create a design that is truly one of a kind.

Whether you have specific ideas in mind or need inspiration, I'll be your creative partner throughout the entire process. From conceptualisation to the final printed pieces, I'll ensure that every detail celebrates who you are, and how you love.

How to Design Custom Wedding Stationery You’ll Absolutely Love

Love the idea of bespoke stationery but not sure where to start, or worried you can’t describe your vision? This post dissolves every hesitation. I explain why couples go bespoke, then walk through exactly how the process works with me, from first enquiry and quote to design proofs, collaboration and delivery. There’s a proper FAQ on finding your aesthetic, choosing colours and what it costs (my fees start at £150), plus all the things bespoke can do that a template can’t: venue illustrations, florals matched to your bouquet, pet portraits and custom maps.

Wedding Invitations with Bold Patterns: How to Embrace the More-is-More Moment

Pattern is having its wedding era, and it’s about time. This post is all about embracing the more-is-more moment, starting with your invitations. I share how to pull off pattern without tipping into chaos (choose a colour story, let some things breathe, carry a thread), then ways to bring it into a whole suite, including my new design with six patterned backs. There’s a guide to finding your print personality, from florals and stripes to botanicals, geometrics and marble, plus how bespoke can echo a pattern from elsewhere in your day.

Retro Wedding Stationery: Good Vibes, Flower Power, and Zero Bell Bottoms

Forget your nan’s carpet and brown-and-orange kitchen tiles. The retro wedding trend coming through now is far more joyful: bold 70s florals, earthy terracottas and mustards, graphic typography and pattern used with confidence. I walk through three collections that capture it, Retro Floral, Colour Block and a new design with six patterned backs, then share ideas for carrying the theme through your whole day, from phone guest books and Polaroids to lawn games and styling. I also dig into what retro means to you, and how bespoke keeps it fresh, never costume-y.
