51 Amazing Ideas for your Wedding

launched early this morning as an ebook on Amazon.

Hummingbird Cards were lucky enough to be asked to contribute & George the ‘Wedding Fairy’ wrote a lovely feature on us – here’s just a little part of it:

‘Drift off into stationery heaven with this dreamy portfolio of absolutely everything you will ever need to set the right tone for your big day celebrations. The team at www.hummingbirdcards.co.uk have created a collection of wedding day stationery that will truly captivate and excite your guests from the moment their invite arrives on the doorstep. For me, this stunning range conjures up a true mix of fairytale and romance which ultimately, is the whole point of a wedding invite that so many other stationers miss completely?! Beyond the initial RSVP, everything is covered from the orders of service to table plans, allowing you to de-stress on this often most neglected yet essential part of wedding day planning. On top of all this, the British design work behind these little stunners is second to none. Fly the flag people!’

Thank you George!

The Hummingbird Card Company

You must check out this site if you are in need of some serious wedding inspiration, Alexis manages to pick the best of the best to give you loads of lovely ideas for your big day!

Grab yourself a coffee..sit down and have a browse through the site.

“I have spent a considerable amount of time over the course of my life drooling over stationery. I can’t help it and I blame it on my mother. I love paper, I love typography, I love colour and I love shapes. I think wedding stationery is no different. How I managed to get a save the date out the door and to the printers, I have no idea, but I definitely looked at LOADS of inspiration.

Enter the amazing laser cutting duo Sally-Ann and Suzi of the Hummingbird Card Company. With backgrounds in fashion and textile design, these ladies have mastered the art of creating beautifully crafted lasercut wedding stationery pieces, be it invitations, name cards or decor.

Not only do they do laser cutting to perfection, but Hummingbird Cards have now also launched the Silhouette Collection, their new printed wedding stationery. Still with their characteristically vintage feel designs, they have added romantic and quirky quotes which can be personalised and customised in many ways”.

A huge Thank you to Lou over at Whimsical Wonderland Weddings Weddings for her lovely mention of our Silhouette Printed Cards on her Favourite Finds page.

Happy Saturday, if you’ve just had some retail therapy and need to wind down take a pew and have a look at these delectable treats. If you are recently engaged and at the beginning of your wedding planning journey, wedding stationery can be a lovely place to start.

The right invitation can set the tone for the day and give your guests an idea of what to expect. One thing i will say is do not worry too much about totally colour coördinating your wedding invitations to your whole day. Pick something you both love and that represents you. I have picked 10 of my favourite wedding stationery items, all very different and unique, so i hope there is something for everyone
