We like contemporary stationery design, but we also like traditional too! A traditional Country wedding can be beautiful, sophisticated and stylish.

The theme used for our most recent was based on a cream and racing green colour palette - very simple and sophisticated! The Country wedding setting was stunning and a huge compliment to the vision of the Bride and her wedding planner (www.lisahilliardweddingplanning.co.uk).

The falling leaves theme was used to great effect within the folder and insert invite. The burnt orange colour was a stunning combination with the cream stock and the simple illustration another triumph of less is more!

The Kraft envelope provides another simple truth - it compliments the clean invite design. Full Stop.

The young woman bought me a groovy gift wrap which was the inspiration for her wedding - she knew little about what she wanted specifically, but knew she wanted a funky colour palette. The Lovetype2 design was selected and the couple were looking to combine lilac with cranberry  - the result was interesting, experimental and beautiful at the same time.

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.

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.
