A Winter Wedding,,,,,
Image taken by the very talented Paula Veverka Photography, Hamilton, Lanarkshire.
Well as I am now surrounded by all things wintery, the Christmas tree twinking,the smell of pine cones and cinnamon and mistletoe hanging from our chandelier in our living room ( not forgetting the 5 feet of snow outside!), I decided to show a little picture of a couples who's stationery I designed for a beautiful winter wedding in January this year.
They decided to get married in the evening which added to ambience of winter, with candles burning and lights twinkling they exchanged vows at the stunning One Devonshire Gardens, Glasgow.
Their stationery was designed to match with their charcoal and red colourscheme aswell as the stylish setting of One Devonshire Gardens being a big influence. The result was an elegant, modern suite of wedding stationery to match Gavin and Becky's beautiful winter wedding.
I received a beautiful thank you card from the couple which takes pride of place in my clients gallery at the studio:
'We received our beautiful stationery today and it was just as we imagined but even nicer than we could ever have hoped'. We cant wait to send out our invitations booklets and also to hear the Wow from our guests when they see our gorgeous matching venue stationery on Our Weddin Day. I cant wait to see my table plan as if its anything like our stylish Thank You Cards and Guest Book then we will be 'over the moon'. We both hope your business goes from strength to strength Jilly as you and your mum are lovely people and your designs and ideas are amazing.'
Weather and News.....

A Very Happy Couple!
A picture of the happy couple :
A belated Happy Wedding Day to Mark and Lynsey who tied the knot on Saturday 28th of August 2010. Their ceremony took place at St Aloysius Church, Chapelhall, Airdrie and then it was on to the lovely Shawlands Park Hotel, Larkhall.
I first met the couple at a wedding fayre over 18 months ago and after many meets at various events and fayres I began to design their stationery in late winter 2010.
A sophysticated choice of black and ivory pearl with a Roccoco flock design was picked and carried through to the Order of Services, Guest Book and Thank Yous.
They were very relaxed in the run up to their 'big day' and both always had a smile ont their faces. The couple enjoyed beautiful sunshine after a summer filled with many rainy days which resulted in some beautiful pictures and videography.
Lynsey sent me this picture a few weeks ago with a little note saying -
'Thank you for designing such unique and beautiful stationery for our Special Day. Our guests were making positive comments as soon as they started to receive them and even on the day Our Priest advised that the Order of Services were the nicest he had ever seen! We will treasure our Guest book which took pride of place next to our wedding cake at Our Reception. Thank you for all your help especially when last minute changes had to made and more invitations were required, nothing was a bother and you always greeted us with a smile. I will certainly be recommending you to friends and family who are getting married as we received invitations that were so unqiue and made with such care.'

A Little Catch Up.....
Oh! I have been so busy recently I just have not had time to to update my little blog.
I have been working through sample packs and orders before the close for Christmas. I have been very busy with corporate work aswell for events and Christmas parties. It is very different doing this type of work from weddings but it is just as exciting.
Over the last few days the wintery weather has impacted on my working schedule and to date all appointments have been cancelled pending reschedule before my Christmas closure. My little studio is closed down due to snow and frozen pipes but I am hopeful as the temperature increases and the snow subsides normality will commence.
The wintery weather is beautiful but for business's it is a logistical nightmare with delayed and cancelled consignments,childcare problems and the practise of wearing lots of layers to stay warm.
My children have advised today that it is 23 sleeps to Christmas...........x
