Just before Christmas I had the pleasure of designing a suite of wedding stationary for a Christmas themed wedding. I created designs for the invitations, Menu cards, Name place cards, order of service and a large seating plan display. All of which featured illustrations inspired by a valentines card but with a Christmas twist. I was also able to use photos of the wedding dress detail to base my designs on. I have to say I really enjoyed creating these illustrations for the wedding of marketing professional Claire Lake ( now Rose ), she had fabulous ideas which I loved bringing to life through my illustrations. This was the perfect project to work on leading up to Christmas!

The illustrations combined ornate swirls dripping with delicate Christmas ornaments, organic elements such as leaves and flowers were incorporated into the swirls to create the 'Vines' reminiscent of something from a fairy tale. Traditional Christmas themed designs such as mistletoe, baubles, doves, reindeer and snowflakes tied in with the vines and gave the designs the 'Christmas twist' we wanted to conjure up.

I was also delighted to receive a selection of photos from the wedding showing the wedding stationary as well as the wedding cake which was inspired by my illustrations and looked absolutely stunning! I have added the photos below I'm sure they wont mind me showing them as the wedding looked so beautiful.....
"Emma created my suite of wedding stationery - invitation, menu cards, name place cards, table plan and front cover of the order of service. She has been incredibly attentive and patient. More, she created some fantastic illustrations for the wedding - all of them sit together as a whole piece of work beautifully. I would highly recommend Emma"
