Laser Cutting

Mr & Mrs Swallow

11th November 2015

Here at Hummingbird we believe a wedding invite is more than just telling your guests when you’re getting married… it’s a chance to make a wonderful statement about the special relationship that you both share and it sets the scene for your wedding! It’s also a chance to create a keepsake that you can cherish forever. A stand-out invitation can have wonderful effect. If it’s stunning it won’t be forgotten and will become a talking point. A unique invitation excites your guest about the day ahead, even before they’ve arrived. So make it special! A wedding isn’t just about two people getting…

Its oh so simple design style makes it a joy to read and the carefully selected articles, features and photographs are stunning! Treat yourself and take a look, its great. Erica the founder of Mr and Mrs Unique you can tell loves to celebrate the unusual, the quirky, the interesting and above all the unique…

Spellbound in Santorini

21st October 2015

When Alexandra and Oliver got in touch they’d already seen our Doily Lace Gatefold design and wanted to add their own personal touches for the ‘on the day stationery’. Alexandra was carefully working through every litte detail with the added problem of the logistics of planning a wedding in Santorini. The colour theme of blush, peach and pale ivory was simply beautiful and somehow from creating and organising it in the UK to bringing it all together in the South Aegean sea they managed to create something truly magical. After their wedding set under cloudless skies of Santorini, Alexandra surprised us with such a…

The Ethereal Garden

14th October 2015

Whilst searching for laser cut cards, Samantha Greenhalgh found our website and felt our stationery would perfectly compliment a wedding styled shoot she was planning. The theme she said was slightly unusual and would we be interested in sending something special for the shoot! ‘It’s going to be an all white colour shoot with a focus on texture and form with unusual details’ she told us. We loved the idea and soon we were sharing links to her secret Pinterest board for inspiration! Gothic touches with bones and lace and Sami had found the most stunning ethereal model, just perfect for…

Bicycle Made for Two…

29th September 2015

A vintage bicycle wedding theme It all started on our Pinterest page and the movie ‘Butch Cassidy and the Sun Dance Kid’. We were adding more and more photos and soon realised that the seeds of an idea for a new design were starting to grow! The tandem bicycle is one of the most classic romantic symbols. It summons up images of idyllic country roads out in the fresh air with your loved one close by, what could be more romantic? Well, you can’t get much closer if you are both on a tandem bicycle! Stylists are loving the bicycle too…

Doily Lace Goes Eco Friendly!

25th September 2015

We’ve added in a new colour-way to our Doily Lace laser cut invitation. Eco Craft! So many brides are just loving this card so we thought it was about time we laser cut it, in one of our designs. And here it is, we’re LOVING IT! Just perfect for rustic and woodland themed weddings, for those who love all things natural and of course those who want to use a sustainable and recycled card. For a real rustic feel we’ve added natural hessian string and for something a little prettier we’ve added ribbon. If you’d like to see a sample just complete…

Eco crafty…

18th September 2015

Charlotte & Tom came to us with a really clear brief, they knew exactly what they wanted and we loved the idea! A bespoke Eco-craft wedding invitation booklet. Laser cut names in a stencil letter style to the front cover, with insert pages including a photo of the lovely couple which you could see through the laser cutting and a printed invite, all stitched together with pretty pink thread. The bespoke invite and RSVP card picked out the pretty green from the photograph with a water coloured wash to the back ground and little leaf embellishments. Much to our excitement they decided…

A date to celebrate

16th September 2015

Red inlay paper has been scattered across our work benches after the amazing success of the Ruby Wedding Anniversary cards. Its been truly amazing how quickly they just took off. We couldn’t cut them quick enough at one point and we were down to just the one last lonely card, sat on the shelf wondering where the stock we’d made had gone to so quickly! So with wedding anniversaries on our minds we rushed to create Silver, Golden and Pearl Anniversary cards too. Silver and Golden Anniversary cards are now a little storm too and we just have Pearl left to…

Romantic Vineyard Wedding

21st July 2015

Cassandra & Edward had found a truly unique and perfect wedding location, just 20 minutes from Cardiff. A hidden away vineyard called ‘Llanerch Vineyard’ set in the beautiful Welsh countryside. So next was the search for an invitation for a wedding amongst the Welsh hills and the picture perfect vines. This led them to us and the laser cut ‘Garden Party’ design, which they loved but the details of the design with whimsical tea pots and cakes wasn’t quite right. After a quick consultation and chat over the phone we put together some ideas to change the design. The sketches and scribbles…
