Our wedding: handmade rustic wedding stationery with red and white string and luggage tags

Charlie

Like our ‘save the date’ cards, we also made all our wedding stationery.  There was an invitation, a booklet of wedding details, a RSVP postcard, and a gift envelope.  Everything was tied up together with red and white string with a tiny brown luggage tag onto which I hand-stamped our RSVP date.

I’m one of those people (I hope there are others out there!) who knows in my mind what I want something to look like, but don’t always know how to translate that into reality.  So although here you can see lovely photos of the finished invitation set, it took a lot of attempts to get them ‘right’.

All these beautiful photos are taken by the fab man who snapped our wedding photos – Mark Tattersall.

Full details on how we made them to follow shortly!  And would love to know your thoughts – anyone else as much a fan of brown card as I am?

Check back tomorrow for Part 1 of the ‘do it yourself’ series!

Pretty things from Papermash

Charlie

I have just returned home from work to a beautiful little parcel of goodies from Papermash.  Papermash sell a small selection of pretty tags, notebooks, tape and string among other things.

It’s my friend’s birthday tomorrow and I knew I wanted to buy her some of the pretty ‘Owl tape‘ that Papermash have, and I have been after an excuse to treat myself to a reel of red and white butchers string.  So I ordered one of each.
