A Winter Wedding,,,,,

2010-12-06T09:03:00.000-08:00

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.'

A Very Happy Couple!

2010-11-29T10:48:00.000-08:00

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.....

2010-11-29T10:30:00.000-08:00

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

CHRISTMAS HOLIDAYS......

2010-11-11T04:33:00.000-08:00

Sticky Fingers Designs will be closed for a Christmas break from Friday 17th December 2010 to Wednesday 5th January 2011.
I will be contactible by email and mobile during this time but my studio will be closed during the above dates.

A Special Thank You....

2010-11-10T15:34:00.000-08:00

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....

2010-11-10T15:12:00.001-08:00

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.....

2010-11-01T05:16:00.000-07:00

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.

New Contact Number

2010-11-01T05:12:00.001-07:00

At last, I have the whole mobile phone issue sorted I am now with a new network as I have given up completely with Vodaphone. Alas, my old number could not be saved so I have a new number which is working as of now - 07403698931

I am so loving red again.....

2010-10-20T04:54:00.000-07:00

Red the colour of romance and love has always featured heavily in many modern weddings but on occasion it has been overplayed and not exciting and new.
However, this is not true as you can see from these images I have posted from USA blog 'Style Me Pretty' a contemporary wedding with unique little touches.
I hope that I have clients soon who have chosen this colour as I think 'boring classic red' is no more.....

Peach and Black - A modern day classic......

2010-10-20T04:46:00.000-07:00

There is always something refreshing and inspiring when you come across a wedding with a new colour scheme and WOW what a lovely, modern day classic of peach and black.
My ever favourite blog 'Style Me Pretty' had this beautiful wedding showcasing under the heading 'a dreamy vintage wedding'.
I have been inspired to design stationery in the softest blush peach with a bit of sophysticated black French lace - what this space for the finished product.....

Shades of purple.....

2010-10-20T04:27:00.000-07:00

This year the differing shades of purple have featured as the colourscheme for many weddings and it looks like this colour will be carried forward into 2011.
As I look for ideas to inspire my new designs I am always drawn to the stylish blogs from 'across the pond'.
Designing samples using shades of purple at the moment I came across this wedding on one of my favourite blogs 'Style Me Pretty' and what more can I say - beautiful styling, stunning bride, gorgeous scenery and lots and lots of purple......

CHANGE OF CONTACT NUMBER

2010-10-18T07:37:00.000-07:00

Thanks to 'my friends at Vodaphone' I have sadly been disconnected from my business mobile in error and my number has been lost. While they try and resolve this for me (sooner rather than later) my new MOBILE NUMBER IS 07599913683.

Personalise Your Stationery.......

2010-10-02T13:49:00.000-07:00

Over the last few months I have noticed that couples are looking for not just a unique theme and design for their stationery and day but to personalise the wording so that its unique to them as a couple.
Maybe its a poem or the first few lines of a favourite shared song. I am loving this idea and the way in which it conveys a sense of intimacy between the couple.
A few wordings have included -

'Today I marry my friend,
The one I have laughed and cried with,
The one I have learned from and shared with, The one I have chosen to support, encourage,
And give myself to,
Through all the days given us to share.
Today I marry the one I love.'

Say you will share with me, one love..... one lifetime.....
Say the word and I will follow you.....
That's all I ask of you....
(If you do not recognise this it is from Andrew Lloyd Webber's - Phantom of the Opera).

Two People,
Two Hearts,
Together,
One Love.....

You know that I could use Somebody...Someone like you....
(This couple were huge Kings of Leon and T in the Park fans)

All those couples out there getting married keep your day special and unique. Words can say so much about a person, couple and their love.

A beautiful Scottish bride......

2010-10-02T12:53:00.000-07:00

I got another cheer me up today from a client who got married this summer - Claire now Mrs O'Hara who sent me this lovely picture of her on her wedding day just prior to the ceremony. Her Johanna Hehir dress was simply beautiful and reminds me of old moviestar glamour.
You look beautiful and radiant and I am glad the morning rain cleared and you had sunshine for the rest of your special day.
Thank you for getting in contact with me and giving me your thoughtful feedback.
'The moment my mum and I saw your sample invitation which was to become MY design at a wedding fayre I knew I had fallen in love. Even although you were ill during the months prior to my wedding you were able to pull off the most gorgeous invitations that has our guests still talking about them. Our event stationery and bespoke table plan certainly had that WOW that you promised and thank you for setting up the venue in such a careful and stylish manner. James and I wish you all the luck with your business and just to say you are one very talented lady Jilly. Take care and I hope you will hear from a couple of our friends soon who loved your work and asked for your details.'
Its lovely to come home after a long day at the studio to find this email waiting for you in your mailbox, it cheered me up on this dull wet day!
I hope you both have a wonderful and happy marriage.

An 'October Cheer Up' on a wet, dreary day!

2010-10-01T06:06:00.001-07:00

When I woke up this morning and opened the curtains I just felt I wanted to close them and go back and hide under my duvet...Now,often I feel like this on a Monday morning but a Friday!!! Oh well I thought....
Then I received a lovely cheer up email from clients who have just returned from their honeymoon in Barbados.
'Thank you for the little extra touches - our post box and table plan which all our guests complimented us on. We loved our invitations which matched our theme and styling and we have received lots of lovely feedback'.
It made me smile so thank you Becky and Graeme and you look so happy in the picture you kindly sent me taken inside your stunning venue of Glenskirlie Castle.
I wish you both a lifetime of love and happiness x

Exciting News - a new addition to the Milligan Family

2010-09-27T14:56:00.000-07:00

Today we picked up our new bundle of gorgeous fun - an 8 week old black labrador puppy called Poppy.
We went yesterday to visit mummy Inca, daddy Bruce and the puppies. They were all so gorgeous and adorable but we finally settled on Poppy as she was just lovely and all she wanted to do is get cuddles and kisses.
Now the fun begins of toilet training - first visit was to Pet at Homes for puppy pads, antibacterial wipes and dettol spray. She got a new cosey sheepskin bed, dishes, and puppy toys along with her special dry puppy food.
My two children absolutely adore her already and I am looking forward to those cold winter days being kept company by my new little companion in my studio.
Here too many, many long walks and millions of kisses and cuddles......

Themes, themes and more themes......

2010-09-24T15:41:00.000-07:00

So whither it is a Vegas theme, Vintage tea party, Alice in Wonderland, 50's glamour - you name it if you have an idea - let me bring it to life!

Amazing Videography by Design Scotland Video

2010-09-13T15:40:00.000-07:00

All I can say is that if I was getting married now ( I am an old married lady of 11 years) I would book Design Studio Scotland in a blink of an eye as their modern style is just so now and is just so natural in fact, when you view a wedding you feel as if you are a fly on the wall. Their mix of colour and black and white is stunning and their delicate touch captures those stolen tender kisses to the sunny smile and laughter of children making it look so much fun.
Many of my clients have now used the services of Design Scotland Video and all I can say are the results are wonderful.
If you are looking for a videographer please take a look at their modern professional wbsite at www.designscotlandvideo.com as I am sure you too will fall in love with their imagery and style.

A Great Day at Shawlands Park Hotel

2010-09-12T12:14:00.000-07:00

Well, what a lovely sunny September day ideal for a wedding fayre.
Thank you to the many brides, mums, friends and grooms who I met today and the wonderful feedback that I recevived about my designs.
The new Envelopment patterns and colours have gone 'down a storm' and it looks like peacock blue is a big trend for 2011.
The canapes were wonderful as usual especially the chocolate dipped strawberries which were very yummy and it was great meeting some old faces and also some new vendors aswell.
I look forward to working with the clients who I met with today designing for their Special Day.

Candy Buffets / Sweet Shops are just so now!

2010-09-11T14:27:00.001-07:00

Lots of my clients in 2009 and 2010 have been incorporating candy buffets / sweet shops into their receptions and it is such a fun and modern idea.
A candy buffet can be as simple as a few favourite candy's maybe from the couples childhood or an elaborate table display colour co-ordinated with little bags and boxes for your guests to take away and enjoy.
It would also make a fantastic 'entertainment' for any children attending your special day as I am sure it would keep them occupied through those long speeches.....
Here are a few ideas that I found to inspire -
I am hoping to offer a bespoke candy/sweet buffet as a service to my clients who are looking for event styling/on the day organisation and I have lots of quirky and unique ideas just waiting to be unleashed.

Shawlands Park Hotel Wedding Fayre - Sunday 12th September'10

2010-09-11T13:53:00.000-07:00

Another Sunday, but not just another Wedding Fayre....
I love visiting Shawlands Park Hotel, Larkhall and exhibiting at their wonderful wedding fayres. Susan the wedding co-ordinator is one of the most organised and professional organisers I have ever met and I look forward to seeing her and her staff again tommorrow along with the other regular vendors.
I always love being inspired by Jenny's Cakes and to see what new designs she has come up with and I have got to mention her sponge cakes are absolutely scrumptious especially her lemonn drizzle.
It will also be great to catch up with one of my favourite wedding photographers Paula Veverka who will also be exhibiting - if you are looking for a professional who understands her couples and supplies photographs that encapsulate the air of romance and love in a stylish and modern way.
The fashion show is always a highlight with an array of gorgeous dresses and outfits for the bride, bridesmaid, mother of the bride and groom too!
So if you are looking for a fayre set in stylish and chic surroundings visit Shawlands Park......
P.S Their canapes and sample nibbles are amazing and in abundent supply.

I am so in love with peonies.....

2010-09-09T13:50:00.000-07:00

I love, love, love flowers but I adore peonies!
I think its their delicate, blousy styling and the beautiful sorbet colours that they come in...... and the fact that they suit so many wedding style: summer garden, vintage, classical and stylish and many more.
What a find of gorgeous peonies from the American blog Style Me Pretty, time to be inspired!

Tell everyone that there is a wedding and you are married in style......

2010-09-07T15:13:00.000-07:00

I love Etsy for all things hand made, vintage and just that little bit different....
I noticed these stylish signs which could be used in various ways and quirky enough to get your guests talking.

New Pricing

2010-09-07T14:23:00.000-07:00

Due to VAT increasing on the 1st January 2011, I am currently reviewing my pricing structure to take this into account. Of course, I will try to keep my pricing as competitive as possible in view of the current economic climate.
I will also be introducing a booking deposit of £50 which secures your date and order in my diary and also covers the full design process of all of your samples.

a little more inspiration........

2010-09-07T13:07:00.000-07:00

We may be heading towards those cold, winter months but I came across this on one of my favourite USA wedding blogs Style Me Pretty. It is so summery and dreamy - what a gorgeous couple set with beautiful sunshine. I hope it might inspire couple who are getting married next spring/summer.

Exciting News....Today, Tommorrow, Next Year.....

2010-09-07T06:59:00.000-07:00

At last Sticky Fingers Designs has found an ideal little unit to run my business from - Flowerhill Business Centre, Flowerhill Street, Airdrie. I move in officially on the 1st of October but I will be working hard over the next few weeks with a little help from my hubby and friends working on renovations and cleaning of the unit ready for my bits and pieces.
I have lots of ideas on how I want it to look and I am really excited about some of my ideas, I think it will look lovely and it will be my little design and creativity hub.
Pictures of now and later to come once I get my keys!

Exciting News....

2010-09-06T14:17:00.000-07:00

Hopefully as of tommorrow Sticky Fingers Designs will have a new home, I have located a small unit close to my home and although it needs a little work ( well quite a lot really being honest ) its ideal and a step in the right direction for my business.
I will update the blog as soon as everything is confirmed and hopefully I will be operating from it by the 1st of November. Having the next 3 months off means it will be ideal for me to get it looking gorgeous, and the ideal space for design inspiration for me relaunching in 2011.
Now I am looking for some interior design inspiration so roll on the ideas......

Sophysticated Navy........

2010-08-30T14:24:00.000-07:00

Inspiration from Martha Stewart Weddings.

I have just completed an order in rich navy blue and ivory pearl and it really looks very sophysticated and an ideal colour for autumnal/winter weddings. Navy could definately be the new black......

Scrumptious Peaches and Cream.....

Yellow and Grey ( with just a hint of white and navy)

2010-08-24T08:56:00.000-07:00

Here is a colour combination which I have now used for a couple of weddings in 2010 and I have been inspired so much that I have added two new designs to my portfolio for 2011. Whilst looking for inspiration this morning over coffee after the children had left for school I came across this wedding and fell immediately in love with the modern, quirky and USA inspired wedding photographed by Rosie Parsons Photogrpahy.

Stand at Shawlands Park Wedding Fayre

2010-08-23T07:37:00.000-07:00

I found some pictures of my last wedding fayre at Shawlands Park Hotel, Larkhall.

A great day at The Fabulous Wedding Show

2010-08-23T04:05:00.000-07:00

Well, the first autumn wedding fayre is done and dusted and I have to say if all the other ones I attend are run as professional and are as busy then I am in for a good season.
The Hilton Grosvenor is a wonderful city centre hotel and a great setting for weddings as just across the road from Glasgow Botanic Gardens.
The event was run with precision and Laura the event organiser was a busy bee all day on hand to make sure everything went smoothly.
Thank you to all the wonderful brides, mother of the brides, bridesmaids and couples who I met yesterday for the lovely feedback about my work and talking about their special days.
The feedback regarding the new envelopments designs and colours have been fantastic judging by the comments yesterday.
I am looking forward to adding to my portfolio over the coming months.
I met some new and old wedding suppliers yesterday and I was very impressed with the very positive attitude especially in the current economic climate.

News

2010-08-13T03:33:00.001-07:00

Over the coming months Sticky Fingers Designs website will be getting a revamp in the meantime I think I will need to go on a photography course so I can take amazing pictures of my collections and my past clients portfolios. I have realised that I dont take nearly enough pictures of clients orders and that is something that needs to change.
So watch this spacce for a new chic boutique styled website which will be launched in January 2011.

Happy Holidays......

2010-08-12T12:19:00.001-07:00

Just to let you know that I am back from my family holiday to Majorca and I will commence working again from Friday 13th August.
I will be closing for a break from the third week in September till the New Year to give me time to find new premises and concentrate on organising my business structure and designing new collections.
I had a lovely holiday with my parents, husband and my two beautiful children.

Envelopments - News

2010-06-08T11:48:00.001-07:00

I will continue to be a Lisensed Envelopments Designer and Reseller for 2011.
I am still so passionate and excited by their modern, high quality product and the vast range of designs that I can choose from as a designer.
During my months away from the business I will be concentrating on launching a 'ready to wear' range based on Envelopments pocketfolds, envelofolds and portable pockets and designing new concepts for my bespoke couture clients.

During the early part of this year Envelopments introduced new patterns, colours and a variety of new favour boxes which are unique and uber chic. Examples are in the pictures above, but the possibilities are endless!

A little update!

2010-06-08T11:32:00.000-07:00

Holidays -
Sticky Fingers Designs will be closing for our summer holidays on Friday 23rd July and we will re - open on Tuesday 17th August 2010.
Due to personal and family issues Sticky Fingers Designs will be closing for the Autumn/Winter period, that will be from the third week in September 2010 till the first week in February 2011.

I will not be taking any new orders for weddings during this time or promoting the business while I concentrate on my family for a few months.

I will be showing my work and designs at one wedding fayre at Shawlands Park Hotel, Larkhall in September 2010.
I then will not be covering any wedding fayres until Spring 2011.

During this period I also will be concentrating on the modification, design and redevelopment work on my studio. Unfortunately due to the extreme winter and building regulation problems my studio has been put on hold and I will focus on this for the re-launch of Sticky Fingers Designs in the New Year,

All clients who have confirmed orders need not worry as these will be fulfilled right through to September 2010.

Alice Temperley London

2010-02-13T15:23:00.000-08:00

I just love anything with a vintage feel and Alice Temperley has just caught that relaxed vibe with a hint of seductiveness. I can just imagine these dresses being worn on a hot summer day, fresh flowers, home made lemonade and that garden party vibe complete with bunting.

Monique Lhuillier

2010-02-13T15:16:00.001-08:00

I was introduced to this talented American Designer by a 2009 bride and I have to say just like she was I am now a huge fan. The dresses are so feminine but just that little bit sexy too!

2010-02-13T09:09:00.000-08:00

Having been a letterpress lover for many years, I finally decided to have a go myself. Hopefully, very soon modern and vintage letterpress stationery will be part of my collections and bespoke work. I'm certainly loving the results - the feel and look is just so unique !

SFD STUDIO NEWS!

2010-02-11T14:37:00.000-08:00

Due to a number of factors most of which have been beyond my control the plans for the garage conversion into a studio/workshop has been temporarily put on hold. The 'freak winter weather' put our plans back by at least 2 months that together with problems with plans and the changes being accepted by the council it looks like work will not commence for at least 3-6 months.
It is a frustration for me but I will continue to offer to meet with clients in their homes complimentary at a suitable time or a visit to our home can be arranged aswell.
I would love to have the plans on schedule but sometimes things can be taken out of our hands and sadly this is what has happened however they have not been shelved just been put on hold. All my studio furniture and workshop materials have been safely put in storage.

Christmas Holiday News

2009-12-03T16:12:00.000-08:00

I am very busy at the moment meeting with clients who are getting married in 2010 and I seem to constantly have my design head on at the moment.
Not only is Sticky Fingers Designs very busy my other job of being mum to two young children is also keeping me very busy and will do so right up until the arrival of a certain MrClaus.
Sticky Fingers Designs will be closed from Tuesday 22nd of December until Monday 4th of January and I am taking a well earned rest by going on holiday with the family for one week(I am so looking forward to just relaxing and spending some funtime with the kids.

A Little Update.....

2009-10-18T12:27:00.000-07:00

I have finally managed to get a few minutes to catch up with business talk.
As most of the Autumn Fayres have now been and gone - a big thank you to all the wonderful brides and couples I have met and who have chosen me to design their wedding stationery for their weddings in 2010 and 2011.
To be honest that is the most exciting part for me - how ideas evolve and beautiful, modern stationery is the end product.
Over the coming months as I move premises and set up in my studio ( lots and lots of hard work has already been done, but much more needs to be worked on )my original goal was January 2010 but on talking with the planners it may be March 2010 before it is completed, but I should be able to work there from early December and work alongside the improvements.
For the month of November I have chosen to work from home as this is my quietest period (if there ever is one! ) so will temporaily work from our family room.
I have some fab ideas for the studio and have already been putting together some mood and design boards although I will be using all my furniture and equipment which I have gathered together over the last 18 months.
All I will say is that there will be a modern French feel and a chandelier or two will feature!

Envelopments

2009-09-14T14:24:00.000-07:00

As a reseller and designer of Envelopments I thought I would load on their new funky brand image which gives it a modern bold design instantly recognisible.
I am looking forward to adding new designs using the wonderful Envelopments portfolio for 2010, a few will be showcased at The Thee Wedding Exhibition in Edinburgh in October.

September what a busy month!

2009-09-14T14:11:00.001-07:00

As most people look now towards winter and that wonderful tinsle and turkey time of year, I am finding myself busy,busy,busy both with orders and the autumn wedding fayre diary.
I am really looking forward to the NEW wedding event at Murraryfield Stadium called Thee Wedding Fayre - it looks to be a modern and innovative event and I am looking forward to being involved in such a new project.
As I look to my quieter time, Sticky Fingers Designs will be on the move, well the studio will be.
Work has commenced at my parents home to convert their unused garage/workshop into my production space and studio.
Although being based at a business centre has had its benefits sadly the financial costs are becoming unsustainable and looking to the future as I look to expand more into on the day planning too its so important that all profit is reinvested especially during this economic downturn.
I am looking forward to being able to have a blank space that is mine and will be able to look at the paint, lighting, flooring etc and how I can dress the studio area and let my imagination go wild!
I just can't help living,breathing design and I hope that as new clients visit hopefully in November that they will see the love that has been put into planning a comfortable and stylish studio.
It will be called the Design Studio and it will have its private parking area for clients away from my parents other personal driveway so thank you mum and dad for sacrificing part of their home.

A Big Thank You

The Exclusive Wedding Event - One Day to Go!

2009-08-20T16:04:00.000-07:00

This is the promotional logo for this wonderful event, I am so looking forward to meeting with all the visitors this weekend!

Just getting the finishing touches together for my exhibition stand, I have a few more samples influenced by trends for 2010 that I will be showing this weekend along with a totally new style for showcasing my work. I can't wait to see what the feedback and comments are going to be - hopefully positive!

I HAVE TAKEN THE HANDMADE PLEDGE!

2009-08-19T15:00:00.000-07:00

I am passionate about design and today I decided to take the Handmade Pledge which is an independent organisation which supports both crafters and small businesses who believe that hand made is best. Not only from an environmental view point, I think especially when it comes to something as exciting and wonderful as your wedding that why should couples not have handcrafted, unique stationery and dressings that have been made by a person who loves what they do - just like me !

I ADORE JENNY PACKHAM DESIGNS - DRESSES FROM 2010 COLLECTION

2009-08-19T14:46:00.000-07:00

I have noticed that recently a few of my brides have chosen the exquisite, sophysticated designs by Jenny Packham. I love all things retro and I am a big lover 1920's and 1930's designs and I have noticed that her next collection is heavily influenced from a more glamourous era.

The Exclusive Wedding Event 22nd - 23rd August 2009

2009-08-19T14:17:00.001-07:00

I have been thinking about changing the design of my set for the Autumn Wedding Fayres - something that shows my own style and personality and begins to stamp my companies image.
I hope that over time that my stands will evolve but not to give to much away I am going for a more shabby chic and luxury influence to display my work.
Certainly a love of mine is browsing little boutique shops and antique markets looking for inspiration and looking for that something that says ' Sticky Fingers Designs' style.
My business logo and colours will not change I simply love the colour combination of duck egg blue and chocolate brown.

Plans for 2010

2009-08-19T14:08:00.000-07:00

I am ever looking to offer my clients a more personal and unique service.
I am looking from 2010 offering my couples on the day wedding organisation / venue set - up, this is something that I have been doing more and more of this year and I love, love, love dealing with the venues and the wedding co-ordinators and setting up my couples venue. I have done everything from chair covers and bows to full table dressing.
I am beginning to know the layouts and contacts at some of the major wedding venues in central Scotland which is invaluable when helping my clients with on the day design.
I also am looking into the possibility of providing the hire of chair covers and ties for the summer season 2010 which can be included with stationery orders or just as a individual service.
I will of course keep everyone updated regarding any new services that I will be able to provide.

Where has the summer gone ?

2009-08-19T13:51:00.000-07:00

I can't believe that summer is nearly over and Autumn is nearly with us.
It seems so long since I last updated my blog this is due to both good things happening with the business but sadly bad news on a more personal front.
I suddenly became very ill 10 weeks ago without any warning, however, together with great care from my family, good support from my local hospital and doctors I am now well on the the road to recovery. I will be medicated long term but it is a small price to pay to allow me to fulfill my dream of running my own bespoke design business.
To all the couples who have supported me through the last few months I thank you for your patience and good wishes. My sincerest heartfelt apologies to the few client whose orders had to be cancelled during my lowest point, I wish every one of my couples a wonderful wedding day and a lifetime of love and happiness.
The enforced time off allowed me to evaluate my life and I decided to resign from my 11 year customer service job which I carried on part time while I have built the business. I now can devote all my energies into growing the business and giving my clients the wonderful attention that they deserve.

Sticky Fingers Designs Studio

2009-05-26T14:37:00.000-07:00

At last I have managed to get a few spare minutes to myself so I am updating my little blog.

Business has been very busy, sadly my kids have been through illness after illness and then I have been not too well. I am slowly getting back to health and throwing myself into my business and concentrating on getting through the manic wedding season.

I have had pictures taken of my studio for months but I have never had the time to put them on the blog so here they are above.

Its a work in progress, I really want to mould into being my little wedding haven but its beginning to take shape.

Pret A Porter Collection

2009-03-22T08:40:00.000-07:00

I have been working on some designs recently that I hope to launch soon.
The collection is to be called 'pret a porter' or ready to wear and it will be made up of six to eight designs which can be simply adapted by changing the pattern colour, ribbon or printing.
They will run alongside my bespoke and couture designs but will be for clients who want a modern but stylish look.
I am putting the finishing touches to the collections and I hope to launch the designs at the wedding fayres over the next few months at The Holiday Inn East Kilbride Sunday 29th March, Perfect Day Wedding Fayre Tudor Hotel Airdrie Sunday 8th May and Airdrie Football Stadium on Sunday 26th May.
All the above shows are free entry so why don't you come along and see my new designs.

Sticky Fingers News

2009-03-22T08:13:00.000-07:00

Well time sure does fly, it seems like ages since I last updated the SFD blog.
Its good to say that I am very busy at the moment and I will be for the next five months which is a very good sign for my little business.
Settling into the studio now, in the four months that I have been there over 60 clients have visited for consultations and to get inspiration for their weddings.
I am beginning to put together ideas for the studio especially the viewing and consultation area that will hopefully evolve over the next few months. As it has been a blank canvas, my first thoughts were of a pracitical design but I now want to stamp my own personality and designer touches that will make it a unique space.
At this time I want to design a more ecclectic feel for my wedding fayre stands but to the choose pieces for the studio that will be able to be used in a much smaller space.
I remember when I was a bride I loved to be able to feel and touch the products and this is ultimately what I want to offer.
I am beginning to put together idea boards so that I have a set designed for the two big autumn wedding fayres I have planned to exhibit at - The Best Scottish Wedding Fayre at Braehead Arena and The Exclusive Scottish Wedding Show at Glasgow Royal Concert Hall.
Although I want to keep the final concept a secret a few design influences will be shabby chic, vintage floral design think Cath Kidston, vintage glamour and NYC chic.
It will certainly be a good excuse for a few shopping trips!

This is something I have throught about for a while but now that I have my wesbite I thought it would be a great for me to issue updates about myself and the company.I also think its a great way to launch new products and to share feedback from my clients.
Please feel free to get in touch and have a look at my new website www.stickyfingersdesigns.com which showcases my designs.

Love Jill x
