Many of the stationery designs can be adapted for various purposes. The Bright Lights stationery, as featured previously looks wonderful as funky labels for a Hen pressie complete with amazing Gustav Klimt style wrapping paper from Past Times.

It is great to feature in the March edition of the Wedding supplement. We have featured in both the Vintage(paper love heart garland) & Cool Britannia  (Strawberry Fayre invite and name tag) sections. It is really exciting to see your name in print! We absolutely love their ideas and stylised themes and must concur Wedding publication really is a fantastic read, a pioneer of trends and advocate of helpful advice.

It is always fantastic to have a really positive ‘Last Word’ from the Client. We received this lovely email from Emma, our Bride-to-be….

‘ Just a quick note to thank you for all the time, effort and love you’ve put into our wedding invitations. They arrived beautifully packaged, along with scented lavender hearts, pink foam and a personal note. Your attention to detail throughout has been meticulous, the final outcome was more than we imagined, and nothing too much trouble!! The quality of the card, paper and envelopes is exceptional and our invitations are gorgeous. I look forward to receiving the finishing touch for our tables.

Thank you again, for helping making a laborious task an absolute pleasure.’

Here at The Happily Ever After Project we love everything about print and use battered, vintage book finds as inspiration for our designs. We are ashamed to say that this interesting and beautiful book was destined for a friend at Christmas, but we were unable to resist its charms. Instead, we sent an email to our friend entitled….’here’s what you could have won’.

When we flicked through this book it is inspirational and literally takes the breath away, wedding stationery should be a similar experience, once you find that special invite.

A traditional cream stationery design for created for this bespoke wedding stationery for Victoria & Rory. The design brief was to create a simple and sophisticated stationery set including invites, place names, table numbers, table plan, cocktail menus and order or service. As a designer, it is important to consider every minute detail including the final presentation of the invites. Hence, all the stationery was packaged in beautiful claret satin ribbon to ensure the customer experience is magical from the beginning right through to the end.

The Happily Ever After are always attempting to develop their existing range and whilst it may begin with a place name or an invite, it is always imperative to find creative ways to extend the stationery designs. The lace stationery has proved popular and as a result, it has been developed to incorporate table numbers and other stationery items.

The Happily Ever After Project work ethos is to always begin on paper - concepts, visuals and doodling are a must! The doodling is all part of the design process, as it enables the designer to work through solutions in a logical and creative manner - the computer can tend to create a static solution, whereby all the creative ideas have not been fully explored before finalising the design!

Chandelier delights - a simple, contemporary chanderlier design stationery makes a simple statement and could be applied to a sophisticated afternoon tea party themed wedding.

Ribbons - an interesting theme to explore! The Happily Ever After Project have produced a stationery set to appear in Wedding Magazine. The folder contains a simple invite with ribbon detail, backed with a fantastic chinese-inspired paper print.
