lucy loves... Lucie & Mike

Something completely new and different is being served up on the blog today... a set of invitations in pastel shades for Lucie & Mike's May nuptials.

The brief I received was to come up with a design that incorporated their pastel/candy colour palette of blush pink and pistachio whilst reflecting the elegant vintage style of their wedding.

The use of stripes and polka dots work really well together and add a modern, playful twist whilst still reflecting their theme. I also designed a crown motif, gaining inspiration from some decorations Lucie has sourced for the reception. To personalise it further, I incorporated their initials which will be used through out with their on-the-day stationery.

The invitations included a number of pieces detailing all of the information required for the wedding which was all held together with a customised 'belly band', again all within the theme.

I look forward to sharing more photos of Lucie & Mike's stationery after their big day! And good luck with the last bits of planning.

lucy loves... Alex & Claire's engagement print

As you may know, as well as designing wedding stationery I also design a range of personalised prints. These have been incredibly popular and I am always being asked to design prints for weddings, birthdays, anniversaries (in particular 1st anniversaries as paper is the 'gift') and christening presents.

I was asked recently asked to design a print for Alex & Claire to celebrate their engagement. I was asked for the print to be in a navy, deep pink and white colour scheme (which will be the wedding colours) with lots of words which represent the happy couple all detailed in the shape of a heart.

The print is finished off fantastically in this square shape frame. Perfect!

All my prints come either framed or unframed and in a range of sizes. I love doing them and have a feeling the heart shape design is going to be a popular one!

lucy loves... Charlotte & Adam's Save the Dates

One of my lovely couples getting married in 2014 are Charlotte & Adam. Taking place in July at the very cool event space; The Paintworks in Bristol city centre.

These childhood sweethearts are book worms and gave me a new challenge to work on... and I love a challenge and I really loved this one!

So to set the right feel for their book themed wedding, the Save the Dates were based on the traditional, vintage Penguin books front covers in the teal colour scheme they have chosen for their big day. So simple, yet so effective.
 

 

I'm looking forward to showing you the next instalment (or should I say chapter?!) of wedding stationery for this lovely pair over the coming months.

Hope you like them!

love lucy x
