Wedding Invite / Stationary Designs

I am excited to finally be able to share with you something that I have been working on over the past month. I decided to venture into designing wedding invitations and stationary, after a customer was looking for some Evening Invites where she wanted to have my Lilac Bloom design featured on. Here is a sample of what I put together which was Day/Evening invites with Rsvp's and Information Cards, as well as other day stationary for her such as place cards, table names - all named after different place in the Lake District. More photographs will follow...

I enjoyed working on this so much and loved being a part of designing items for a brides big day and making sure it was all perfect and beautiful. This is a design service I am now offering - for Invites and Wedding Stationary. I am in the process of developing designs ready for it at the moment. So if anybody is interested or would like to see more of what I have done, or have any ideas please do get in touch, I would love to work with you!

Pocket Mirror on Etsy

My Lilac Bloom pocket mirror design is now available on Etsy to buy.

It is perfect as a gift, especially with christmas coming up, it would make a great stocking filler. It comes in a pretty organza bag tied with ribbon to make it that extra bit special, and would be lovely for a wedding gift or favour.

I offer discounts on larger orders. You could also choose any other one of my pocket mirrors. Do get in touch with any ideas or requests.

Wedding Favour Mirrors

Here is an order of wedding favours, I put together for a lovely bride to be, they are my Lilac Bloom design and she wanted one for each of her female guests (57 in total), each in an organza gift bag, which doubles up as a pouch when in use.

Milan Fashion Week Favourites

I loved some of the floral prints from the Milan fashion shows. Above from left: Dolce and Gabbana (first two) and Antonio Marras. I absolutely adored the whole Dolce and Gabbana collection, where delicate blossom tree florals in soft colours were combined with intricate silk appliqué on sheer fabrics and silks. The collection also used Roman reference prints - ancient greek architecture and lithographs in mono tone, sepia colours that were digitally printed and combined with floral imagery, blown up coin prints as well as Sicilian decoration. The Antonio Marras collection included  sketchy, painterly prints, illustrative landscapes and traditional looking botanical engravings in subtle colours (my favourites) adorned across dresses in a large scale.


Below are: Versace, Alberta Ferretti, and Just Cavalli. There was a mix of brightly coloured, collaged bold, photographic collaged blooms / garden floral prints of varying sizes and on light/dark coloured grounds. Alberta Ferretti was one of my personal favourites, with border scarf floral prints graduating in size with a folkloric feel.

London Fashion Week SS14 Favourites

Here are some of my favourite Designers collections from London for Spring Summer 14. From left to right: First two are Temperley, Mary Katrantzou, Preen and Peter Pilotto. All digital, mixed florals, I really love the Temperley floral prints mixed with leopard print, along with the quirky, playful florals at Mary Katrantzou with an exaggerated embroidery styling.

Hanging Hearts: New Product

I have recently introduced some decorative floral hanging hearts to my collection. Using my silk, floral fabrics with my hand painted and drawn designs on and pretty ribbons and beads, they are perfect as a gift and make unique feminine home decorations. They are £5.00 each, get in touch if you are interested.

Back to Blogging

After my new phone some how managed to delete all my blog images I have ever posted (Which I still can't understand!?) I am returning to pay some much needed attention to my blog. I have lots to update on of fairs, new things, my new venture to the wedding market, which has been really exciting for me. Here is a preview of some pocket mirrors that I did for a lovely wedding this weekend for the bride to give to her bridesmaids as gifts/ favours.
