The stationery is beautifully reminiscent of the location with the shades of blue and white. The deckled edge papers give a nod to the roughness of the coastline while the gold leaf detailing adds an element of luxury. Our Genevieve calligraphy embosser adds a personal touch to the envelopes and this look is completed with our elegant monogram seal and matt white wax.
We adore a beach wedding and we adore a blush wedding so combining the two is just splendid. Our beautiful bride is adorned in soft, stunning, stirring fabrics reminiscent of the ebb and flow of the ocean while bringing in a touch of femininity through the blush pink shades. Sweet but salty margaritas with sand between your toes under the warm summer sun, sounds like paradise.
Set in the Caribbean paradise of Barbados, this shoot was beautifully planned and styled by Helaina Storey Wedding Design. The inspiration for this aesthetic was to break away from the typical beach wedding and to incorporate some more contemporary & bohemian elements while making the most of the spectacular natural scenery.
Azalea is aquatic, romantic, timeless. The oval shape gives an antique feel, reminding us of an heirloom pocket portrait from times gone by. The flowing sea grass gently climbing upwards around the frame combined with the conch shell further add to the antique aesthetic, almost as if it is a treasure once lost at sea. The pairing of the minimalistic serif font with the delicate script creates a beautiful balance between classic and contemporary, creating an oceanic canvas perfectly suited to any coastal wedding.
Galene is a handcrafted rubber stamp from our Sea Breeze Collection of wedding stationery embellishments. Carefully assembled, Galene features a stunning script font which echoes the fluidity of the sea with a subtle touch of femininity. Complimenting and giving a subtle grounding effect is a font that is timeless with a vintage note. Galene is beautifully framed with wisps of seagrass creating a scene that is both oceanic and ethereal, bringing to mind the lost city of Atlantis. Galene is a glorious blend the mythical and marine. She epitomises wild sophistication and makes for a stunning stationery embellishment.
Raise your hand if you love a beach wedding! Because we certainly do. Salty sea air, sand underneath your feet and the sound of waves crashing against the shore. This soft & flowing gown beautifully mimics the ebb & flow of the sea, hair is tousled & beachy while the antique jewellery adds a hint of old-world charm. The touches of gold & blue are a perfect pairing for the ocean setting.
Carry the romantic yet rugged vibe through to your stationery with handmade papers, our gold wax seal and monogram embosser.
Sirene, part of our Sea Breeze collection this beautiful design is available as a handcrafted rubber stamp or an adjective embosser. Sirene is also available as a square wax stamp. A unique departure from our traditional round wax stamps, she pairs stunningly with our colour sealing wax. Sirene features a stunning wreath of flowing seagrass, adding an ethereal yet maritime touch to the design. The almost fluid script picking up from the movement in the sea to create an embellishment that is oceanic and timeless. She adds a romantic personal touch to any stationery suite.
Today's wedding inspiration is an oceanic scene which aptly mirrors the surrounding seascape. For the stationery, we can see our Sea Pearl rubberstamp which gives an aquatic embellishment but also adds a personalised fine art touch with your name and wedding date in stunning script and classic serif fonts. Finishing this look off is our Coralia wax stamp deeply imprinted on our gold sealing wax holding a luxurious silk ribbon in place on hand calligraphed natural papers.
Sea Whistle combines a simplistic serif font with an almost full wreath of seagrass. The flowing grasses create the stunning illusion of movement, giving a nod back to its wild oceanic inspiration. The charming yet timeless typeface is reminiscent of a bye-gone era but still blends perfectly into a contemporary setting.
Adella is a proud member of our Sea Breeze collection of stationery embellishments. Adella's stunning script lettering is flowing and romantic while her serif font gives off a feeling of old-world charm. The delicate placement of the seagrass adds a subtle oceanic touch creating a contemporary yet fine art feel. Adella is a versatile embellishment suited to any and all elements of your stationery suite.
For this wedding, we are heading back to the coast. The theme here is easy and breezy with hints of timeless class. The colour palette is cool and coastal with some blues, shades of white and touches of gold. For the gown, we have traditional lines, flowing fabrics, and some unconventional pops of colour. The floral arrangements are delicate and add some warmth to an overall cool aesthetic, the ribbon - almost like liquid - gives a nod back to the sea.
Our Sea Wreath arrangement of flowing seagrasses combined with the conch and clamshells reminds us of the gentle movement of the ocean and tough exterior of the coast. The serif font is simplistic and timeless while still lending a wink to years gone by - almost reminiscent of an old typewriter. Sea Wreath is available as a wax stamp, an embosser and as a handcrafted rubber stamp - ideally suited for your invitations, RSVPs and thank you cards.
Our Sea Breeze collection is wild but elegant, sweet but salty, contemporary but timeless. This suite pairs beautifully with oceanic palettes of grey-blue and taupe with hints of gold for an added touch of class. She is full of movement and grace. She truly shines among luxurious textured papers, hand-dyed silk ribbons and decadent hand lettered stationery.
Enter, Elizabeth! Today we are featuring yet another one of our stunning monogrammed embossers. Elizabeth is regal and fine art with a slight antique vibe. As with all of our embossers, Elizabeth blends beautifully with any colour palette or theme. She is shown here on these beautiful envelopes in shades of grey and on luxurious textured paper. Elizabeth is a stunning way to add a feminine yet personal final detail your wedding stationery suite.
This coastal wedding is sophisticated with a playful twist. The dusky blue skirt and suits are an understated break from tradition and pair perfectly with the natural aesthetic of the coast. The hint of navy in the bow ties and this stunning ring also add some depth of colour.
William Morris is known the world over for creating absolutely stunning prints and textiles, so it should come as no surprise that a shoot in his own home, Kelmscott Manor, would be anything less than the same. There are plenty of interesting elements here for the wandering eye, starting with the dress. A creation of Catharina Eden from My Eden Bridal, the overall silhouette of the wedding gown is kept quite simple allowing the beautiful choices of upcycled fabrics to do the talking.
Combining delicate botanical detailing with an elegant serif monogram, Beatrice is a beautifully romantic monogram embosser design, perfect for your ethereal outdoor wedding. She is shown here deeply embossed into luxury envelopes in varying shades of blush and pink, but looks exquisite with any colour scheme.
Blush pink just oozes romance and perfectly suited to a Summer Wedding. For the bride and her bridesmaids, it’s all about flowing tulle, soft lines and lightly tousled hair. Keeping with the theme we have a beautiful blush cake kept simple with a big silk bow. Then brightening things up a touch are the beautifully arranged white florals. Complete this look with custom blush envelopes paired with our cherry blossom seal, blush wax and some deckled edge paper.
Oh, how we love this wreath wax seal. The symbolism of the two branches coming together adds a gentle romantic touch to any wedding stationery. Wreath, despite being quite detailed still retains a very delicate aesthetic. Our gold sealing wax shines against this grey silk ribbon, but wreath can be combined with any of our range of shades to complement any colour scheme.
We've probably said this before but there really is something quite luxurious about a minimal wedding. That combined with the magic of spring makes this one all the more special. There's a lightness and a brightness here which creates a relaxed, effortless vibe, while still being the epitome of elegance and class.
We are SO delighted to be featuring this beautiful suite by Lisa Groves of Paperknots Design & Stationery. This suite is a spectacular custom design created for the wedding of Sophie & Jim. 🌿
This was a winter wedding with botanical, minimal and timeless elements carried throughout. The colour palette is very much representative of the time of year with cool shades of green and off white. The subtle use of blush pink adds a touch of warmth without taking away from the overall wintery aesthetic.
