Laser-cutting

Rachael Connertons amazing shots ….

As you know we exhibited at The Save The Date – Event With A Difference back in October, on the day the amazing Rachael Connerton was capturing the moments and mood in her own unique way. Here are a few of her shots from the day on a lovely slideshow – they really capture the feeling and the essence of the show and all the wonderful wedding suppliers that were exhibiting.

Rachael is based in The East Midlands, so very local to us! Working as a husband and wife team, Rachael and Ian combine simplicity, imagination and style to create exceptional images. They both have a natural affinity for working with people and are able to make even the most camera-shy feel at ease; resulting in images that will truly reflect your personality and soul.

Rachael got a fantastic shot of our NEW Laser-cut Garden Party Invitation. So we thought we would let you have a sneek peek!….We hope you love it, based on the original invite we created for Sally-Ann’s wedding back in September, we had such a fantastic reaction to it that it is soon to be added into out range! It will be accompanied by another new design (we shall keep you waiting for this one!), rsvp, save the date, order of service, menu, and some wonderful little extras to complete all your stationery needs. We can’t wait to showcase it and are just perfecting the final designs as we speak.

Wedding Diary – Designed by us!

Dan, my partner, and I sat one Saturday night over a glass of vino and scribbled and sketched endless ideas. We didn’t want anything too formal, it had to be ‘very us’ and of course laser-cut. So we created our Garden Party unique wedding invitation.


I sketched out the design and we then played around with card swatches trying out different colour combinations.

I absolutely adore Manila paper and even gift wrap my presents in it adding white ribbons and tags, so using Manila card was a must really. We included in the design lots of little sentimental touches like our initials carved in the tree and hanging from the branches, the three bells at the church, our vintage tea-sets and of course the trees shaped into a heart.  (Which is no surprise to anyone that knows me; I love a heart or two!!) I also wanted to try and make the invites look a little like bunting, so they are individual layers of card tied together with a little ribbon and sent in a gorgeous Manila wallet. The backs of the info cards and RSVP cards are printed with cute scatter polka dots in a beautiful shade of apricot blush.

The finishing touch was calligraphy addresses, in white Gouache,  which took an age but when they were all made they all looked so pretty I didn’t want to send them!

Our family and friends just love them and it’s so lovely to get their excited messages when they receive them. ‘Auntie Sally’ even wants to hang it on the wall!


Next it’s Bridesmaid dresses and my shoes! I’m having a nightmare finding anything I love, that’s not a traditional wedding shoe, but quirky and comfy to wear all day. Any ideas??!!
