What's your background and why did you launch your business?
While on furlough during the pandemic, I found that I was expressing myself more artistically and decided to take the leap and start my own business. We initially started out by producing items that I had worked with for a number of years at previous jobs and quickly diversified into other items and wedding stationary. I previously produced and designed my own stationary for my wedding in November 2019 and had always wanted to consider starting a business in this industry.

What's your favourite type of wedding to work on?
I like to work on small, intimate weddings, where the personality of the couple really shows through; I think this is because of the wedding that we planned for ourselves. I find that clients that aren't afraid to show off their personalities are the best to work with as it gives me a lot of scope.
What's your top tip for choosing wedding stationery?
Find a colour scheme to fit in with you, your venue and the wedding as a whole. It's very easy to be distracted by something incredibly intricate and detailed, most of which wouldn't be picked up on by your guests. Also, try to stick to your budget.

The UK Hen & Stag Destinations Everyone’s Booking for 2026
Once dominated by big nights out and budget flights abroad, hen and stag parties in the UK are having a rethink, and things are now looking very different. Research suggests that pre-wedding celebrations could be completely sober as early as 2040, with groups instead embracing alcohol-free celebrations that they're more likely to remember. Also, rising travel costs, tighter schedules and a growing appetite for wellness experiences are pushing more groups to stay closer to home.

The philosophy of white - Pantone's Colour of the Year
White has always been more than a colour; it is the quiet space between thought and form, the light-filled pause where the eye rests and the mind find clarity. Today, in a world buzzing with distraction, white takes on renewed significance. Pantone's selection of PANTONE 11-4201 Cloud Dancer as the Colour of the Year 2026 celebrates this very essence - a lofty, aerated white that whispers calm and serenity into a frenetic society. At James Cropper, the historic British papermaker, white is not just a conceptual ideal - it is a craft, a product, and a philosophy...
