I love all things paper and get so excited when I discover a new Stationery retailer I can swoon over.

Morning lovelies! I am excited to be kicking off the week with one of my favourite wedding details. I have often spoken of my personal weakness for all things paper – I confess, I can lose hours looking at cards and stationery, with no occasion for them, and being the addict I am, I have…

Wedding invitations are the first glimpse your guests get of the big day, and your wedding stationery does so much more than tell your guests when, where and what to bring. The invites create excitement and anticipation, set the tone for the celebrations as well as give a glimmer of you and your grooms personalities. And the stationery…

I have long been a huge fan of luxurious letter press stationery extraordinaires Bella Figura (it is hard to believe it has been a year, or more, since I introduced their lavish 2012 collection) I truly adore this little artisan letterpress shop – the love and passion they have put into perfecting their craft the old-fashioned way; the way they use antique cast-iron…

I don’t know about you but I adore the work of art that is my fridge door – photos and magnets, memories and mementos making me smile every time I go in my kitchen for a cuppa! So I love that Minted have just launched a range of magnets created from their favourite and most…

Wedding invitations today are a whole lot more than just a way of conveying to guests when, where and what to bring. They are the first glimpse guests get of the big day; they create excitement and anticipation and most importantly they set the tone for the celebrations. In fact invitations and stationery are as much a part of the ambiance and…

OK, so other than this, my blog Chic Vintage Brides, I have always been a little backward, or old-fashioned in staying in touch with my friends and family – I am not on Facebook (yet – oops, looks like that didn’t last long :)), don’t use MMS and, now on the other side of the…
