Pinterest

I have just discovered Pinterest! I feel it could get quite addictive. So far I have added a few of my own product images (so sorry to my current 4 Pinterest followers for bombarding you) and created a board with different wedding images relating to the colour sky blue. I have been producing a travel ticket wedding invitation sample in sky blue and lilac this morning so I thought I'd see what else is out there in sky blue - which as it turns out is quite a lot!

Glemham Hall Wedding Fair

I had a great time at the Glemham Hall Wedding Fair last Sunday, chatting to lots of lovely brides and grooms to be. There was a huge variation in how far along visitors were with their wedding planning, from those getting married quite soon to others who'd only just got engaged and even one lady who wasn't actually engaged but was hoping some wedding themed literature would 'inspire' her boyfriend!

As usual the marquee at Glemham Hall was looking fab, with decorations by Table Angels, The Decorated Cake Co, Events Couture and, of course, The Leaf Press! Others exhibiting included Patrick Stockley Weddings (showcasing amazing albums of previous weddings) and The Tea Service which hires out beautiful vintage china (and had very tempting marshmallows on the stall!).

Here are my photos of the day.

New wedding stationery ranges

I have been neglecting my blog again, aaaagh! This post is going to focus on the new wedding stationery ranges I've introduced this year.  In forthcoming posts I'm going to talk about other new designs I've been working on, wedding fairs, other wedding related ideas and products and ideas for those of you who are interested in making your own books (although you could of course buy mine!).

So back to the wedding stationery.  I've introduced five new ranges recently.  Two of them are a new style of ticket based information. They come with a perforated RSVP slip and are presented in a card wallet (similar to what you would receive tickets in). One is themed in the style of a concert ticket and the other as an airline type ticket.

The third design is called 'Spots' for obvious reasons. It's a design I started last year but couldn't get it to look as I wanted it to, because I'd over-complicated it I think. Here it is in a variety of colours (customers can choose any two colours).

The fourth design is similar to my Birds in Trees design but this time features owls (in response to customer requests). It's the first design which I've done in landscape layout, which threw up a few additional challenges in terms of laying the text out.

The fifth design I'm going to talk about in my next post. It started life as a design for use at a local wedding venue's open day.
