If your venue is the star of your wedding, put it on your save the dates. I share why a glasshouse, city landmark, historic estate or quirky spot deserves the spotlight, then walk through creative ways to capture it: custom venue illustrations, hand-drawn maps, signature architectural details, and seasonal natural elements. You’ll also see why bespoke design works best for one-of-a-kind venues, and when to send your save the dates.
Not all garden weddings look the same, so your stationery shouldn’t either. Whether you’re picturing a cottage garden, a wildflower meadow, a tropical glasshouse or a structured botanical space, I’ll help you match it. I share five collections to inspire you, from Bright Summer Floral to Tropical Palms and Lavender Petals, plus when to send your invitations and how to carry your garden story through every piece, right down to the welcome sign.
Wondering what’s next for 2026? I’m sharing the stationery trends I’m genuinely excited about, from earthy sunset palettes and sustainable local celebrations to striking single-colour designs and bold maximalist colour. We’ll also explore gatefold invitations, layered luxury, illustrative storytelling, and treating your suite as one cohesive experience from save the dates to thank yous. Think of these as creative starting points, not rules, and pick the threads that feel authentically you.
Step inside Hannah and Jack’s bespoke Liverpool wedding stationery, built around two iconic venues: the Royal Liver Building and Oh Me Oh My. I share how we layered autumnal toffee, peach and burgundy florals onto a Minimal Monochrome base, and created a full set of illustrated table names nodding to their dogs, favourite Lark Lane wine bar and even Lord of the Rings. Plus my favourite Liverpool venues to design for.
Everything you need to know about your wedding order of service, covering church, civil and celebrant-led ceremonies and what each one needs. I share lovely ways to personalise yours, from venue illustrations and pet portraits to love-story timelines, plus practical advice on length, format and pages. There’s brilliant guest advice from two celebrants too, with clever ideas for putting that blank back page to work. A proper keepsake, not just a programme.
Autumn stationery doesn’t have to mean brown leaves and burlap. As an autumn bride myself, I’m walking you through six collections that capture the season differently, from romantic Sunset Garland and cascading Autumn Floral to moody Dutch Masters, luxurious Marsala Wine and bold Colour Block typography. I’ve also got clever palette swaps, ideas for breaking the seasonal rules entirely, and tips for doing classic autumn brilliantly if that’s your thing.
The signage that pulls your whole day together, from the big statement pieces to the tiny touches. I cover the larger must-haves like welcome signs, table plans and an order of the day, then run through smaller but mighty ideas: reserved seating, cocktail menus, guestbook signs, cards and gifts, unplugged ceremony notes, memorial signs and sweet comforts like blanket or flip-flop baskets. All of it customisable and matched to your invitations.
Follow Eli and Adam’s bespoke stationery from start to finish, designed for their stunning Wharfedale Grange wedding. I share their magnetic save the dates, concertina-fold invitations with an illustrated map and day timeline, and a joyfully colourful on the day suite of arch menus, semicircle place cards and illustrated table names full of personal meaning. Right through to a bespoke guestbook and golden-hour thank you cards that bring the whole story full circle.
