A bit of a quick unexpected post today because I couldn’t contain my excitement any longer!….I have been sharing my love for all things stationery and particularly Bella Figura…. well, since the launch of Chic Vintage Brides actually (they were the subject of one of my first posts); and for almost as long I have admired their Trendsetters. Created by a number of wedding industry leaders ‘with stylish taste and an eye for design’, Trendsetters are Bella Figura’s sample packs, each of 5  designs on a trend or theme, the curators of which have read like the who’s who of the wedding world. For the last 2 years I have looked and dreamed and then this year…..

I couldn’t have been more chuffed when the lovely Bella Figura peeps email popped into my inbox, asking how I would feel about becoming a Bella Figura trendsetter….. poor Mr E had to put up with quite a bit of whooping, hollering and general jumping around like a crazy woman. And I so enjoyed perusing their gorgeous new 2013 Collection to pick my fave five, it was an almost impossible choice from so many gorgeous designs and themes; but I have just so adored the recent wave of Backyard Weddings (long may the trend continue)….

Chic Vintage Brides – A Vintage Garden

Of course the Trendsetter packs aren’t just about the latest trends. Bella Figura’s Erica says “Each of our wedding industry experts and letterpress trendsetters has curated a stylish sample pack, with 100% of the cost from each sample pack donated to an environmental nonprofit.”

I still have to pinch myself when I see Chic Vintage Brides listed alongside such wedding blog elites as…..

Ruffled – Glamorous Garden Trendsetter Pack

 Romantic Bohemian – Green Wedding Shoes

Rustic – Rustic Wedding Chic

Destination – Destination I Do Magazine
