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

A Special Thank You....
Every now and again a couple surprises me with a unique and very personal thank you or tribute to friends and family. I am often asked how to word a couple's special appreciation to those they are closest too,that help and guide in so many ways when planning a wedding.
Gillian and Ryan requested that this thank you be placed in their Order of Service Booklet and I thought it was such beautiful wording that I wanted to share it on my blog perhaps to help others who are looking for suitable wording for their own tribute.
......We would like to thank each and every one of you for sharing with us the first day of our lives together,and for travelling both long and short distances to be here. We hope you have a wonderful time today, and we look forward to spending many more joyous memories with you in the future.
A special thank you to our parents for their guidance, support and generosity, without them, we would not have known what it means to love unconditionally. Finally we would like to remember those we have lost along the way. With Lots of Love Gillian and Ryan x......
Its all those special little touches that make your wedding day so special to YOU - The Bride and Groom.

Finale of 2010 Wedding Fayre Diary....
Oh well! that's all the wedding fayres/open days finished for another year and it ended on a high for my little company.
I was exhibiting for the first time at Crutherland House in East Kilbride, Glasgow and although I have been a visitor at a wedding many years ago it was nice to be back this time as a vendor.
The wedding co-oridinator and staff were lovely and friendly and the feedback that I received about my work was so nice especially on such a freezing cold morning as we set-up.
There were many large established companies there - a few Vow award nominees and winners and it was great to catch up with some of the suppliers again.
I had on show some new designs for 2011 using entirely the wonderful Envelopments range and the feedback I received from the public was lovely and it was so nice to talk to all you future brides and grooms who attended.
It was a very busy fayre for a cold November day and all too soon it was time to pack away my stand for a few months till the 2011 ones commence.
I will be exhibiting at their next wedding fayre to be held on the 9th of January which I think will be the first one for 2011 - that is weather permitting.......

A new concept in wedding fayres - my opinion.....
Well, last night I attended as a vendor at a new UK concept in wedding fayres at Glasgow Grand Central Hotel organised by JP Events.
It was a'meet the vendor night' which is a take on 'speed dating' in that there was 30 vendors and 30 specially selected brides/couples who would attend and each vendor would be given 5 minutes to make their pitch about their services to the bride/couples.
It all seemed to be a refreshing and great idea, first of all the hotel is stunning and very modern the only negative I would say is that there is almost no parking and due to nightmare one way system in Glasgow its so hard to get to logistically.
The vendors came with a diverse knowledge in the wedding industry with long standing large wedding companies along side new businesses trying to get a foot in the door.
The organisers are lovely and so full of enthusiasm and had organised and thought it out very well the only thing I would say was the disappointing turn out of real genuine interested brides/couples which was very low at 11.
Out of this a few were 'set up' brides who are not genuinely getting married which made a few vendors feel quite negative although I had a wonderful response about my work from both the other suppliers and brides/couples. Perhaps, the date of 31st of October was not the best evening to have such an event and possibly the reason for the low turn out of interested clients but I must say the concept is very, very good and I will certainly look forward to being involved in the next event in Spring next year.
