Cinnamon & Rust Colour Trend

8th August 2022 RUST

Hummingbird Collection designs All shades of Cinnamon, Rust, Terracotta or Copper are trending now for weddings. We just love this rich, warm earthy tone with its retro throwback colour vibe and 70s feel. A stunning palette of gorgeous shades that we know will grow in popularity for next year too! Image from Tono&Co This rust-hued palette adds natural richness to a wedding and includes all shades from dark toffee and terracotta to burnt orange and clay. Although rust and cinnamon tones are considered autumn colours, rust is actually extremely versatile and can be used for any season. Many couples are loving…

2022 Wedding Stationery Trends

25th March 2022

Bows Are Back! After the last two years it’s now time… time for fabulous big bridal festivities – it’s go big or go home! Couples are turning up the glamour and we’re loving the emerging trends with a touch of Regency grandeur – inspired by Bridgerton no doubt and a sprinkling of 80’s glamour! Brides are ready to go all-out with their dresses, so say goodbye to simple, minimal dresses and hello to bold and beautiful. So how do you do that? Just add a bow, bold and playful bows, big ones, little ones and everything in between. There’s something utterly…

‘No Children’ wording ideas for invitations

14th March 2022

This is the one question we get asked the most! How do I tell my guests I’m not inviting their kids? So to save time, trying to delicately find the right words, we thought we’d put together some ideas and suggestions on how to respectfully tell your guests that their little ones are not on the guest list! Whilst some parents may leap and punch the air at the idea of a day, an evening or in some cases a whole night off, away from their children, is a gift and a great excuse to let their hair down, have a…

Goodbye 2021… hello 2022!

2nd January 2022

We’re taking a moment to reflect on last year… it wasn’t quite as we’d planned, was it? Last year was so challenging for so many of us so we’re hoping that 2022 is going to bring back life as we know it, some exciting times and calm after the storm. Through it all though we’ve actually had an amazing year. We’ve learnt so much about ourselves and our little business, how strong and resilient we can be and how we can find positivity when your wedding business just stopped. The year brought more creativity, more kindness and a beautiful collaboration with…

From Monday 18th October, Hummingbird is taking a little holiday! It’s been a crazy old 19 months, hasn’t it? For all but the first week back on the 21st March 2020, somehow, we managed to stay open through the lockdown. Thankfully we managed to diversify and without weddings, we concentrated our creative minds on our greeting card and gifts collection, now called Hummingbird Homebody. And thanks to you and all your lovely orders we’ve been sooo busy! So before the craziness that Christmas can be, we’re taking a week off to recharge the batteries and to reset, refresh and reignite our…

Wedding Trends 2021-22

30th June 2021

With so many weddings postponed couples have had a lot more time to plan, so now more than anything want to put their personality on their day, so we’re sure we are going to see more creative and unique weddings than ever before. How exciting is that! We’ve all been forced to stay at home, not able to see or hug our loved ones, so we’re going to see two major influencers for post lockdown weddings… Either ‘Maxi-Weddings’, everything oversized with a ‘go big or go home’ vibe. These are going to be ‘major celebrations’, with a huge guest list of…
