Very Inviting! – RSVP Candy

Image Source: RSVP Candy

How blooming cute are these!

I love the idea of telling the story of how we met and how our lives have progressed together taking us to the point of marriage – but I would also love to read about every other couples story too (I’m quite nosey lol!) so this would be the perfect invite for me to receive in the post!!

Here’s a little info on RSVP Candy…

WHY USE RSVP CANDY?

RSVP Candy are the creators of the ‘Story’ design. We couldn’t find a wedding invitation design that we really wanted and that was was unique to us. So we created the ‘Story’. We now offer bride and grooms to-be the chance to tell their story through vintage wedding invitations. Now you can have the ‘Story’ too.

WHAT WE OFFER

We will create your ‘Story’ invitation using over 15 years of graphic design experience. We offer a full printing and delivery service. You can even organise printing yourself and we can supply finished digital artwork. You can choose personalised guest names for your invitations, as well as table plans and cards.

The package prices for these invites (including 3 hours design time) start from £299 for 100 invitations. See here for full information.

Such a great idea and a real personal touch too – I love them!

Supplier Spotlight – Port Out Starboard Home

Company Name:

Port Out Starboard Home (P- O-S-H)

What inspired you to start your business?

Our business was officially launched in September 2011.

We were inspired to launch Port Out Starboard Home (P-O-S-H) after Georgie’s wedding in 2008. We had an idea of the special hair accessories we wanted for that occasion, but found that the choice was very limited. Georgie decided to design and make her own headband from items in granny’s jewellery box.

The headband was a huge success and the business idea was born! We started in a very small way as we both had full time jobs, but when Jill took early retirement in July 2011, it seemed an ideal opportunity to launch our business. P-O-S-H has blossomed from there and we have been busy making special items for weddings, balls, proms and other occasions ever since.

What do you enjoy most about your job?

We enjoy all aspects of our job which starts with bringing new life to tired vintage jewellery by designing and creating something unique and extra especial. We particularly love working with our clients to create bespoke pieces which are exactly what they are looking for.

What has been the best moment of your business?

It has been a wonderful six months with so many special moments! One of our favourite occasions was having the opportunity to take part in the photo Shoot with Nicola Thomas from Find a Dress and Colin Crowdey from LCC photography to produce wonderful photos of our accessories on the lovely models, Helen Drew and Emily Cooper. Hair was styled by Alice Jeffrey and makeup Zsike Peters.

Just a few of the pictures featuring our work are shown here.

Another occasion was when one of our headdresses was used in a popular TV series and is due to be aired in the next couple of weeks; we can’t wait to share details with everyone! – It was only The blooming Apprentice – how exciting!!! Take a look at some of the images from P-O-S-H Facebook page

What are your business plans for the future?

We plan to continue to add new items to our collection as well as working on our bespoke orders. We are working on a number of designs at the moment which feature more fabric enhanced with pearls and crystals.

Can you give us a ‘Typical day in the life of….’?

Every day is different for us, but most days start with a couple of hour’s admin which may include updating our Facebook page and website or maybe carrying out research for a new client or item for the collection. We then spend time working on bespoke orders or our designs, the day may also include meeting clients or packing up items to be posted. Every day is very busy and full and that is what we like about life at Port Out Starboard Home HQ!

Very Inviting! – Wedding Scroll from Paper Passion Designs

How cute are these!

I had scrolls for my Order of Service and was initially worried that the guests might have trouble using them due to the paper curling up but this wasn’t an issue at all – in fact they all loved that they were a little bit different and many still have them at home as keepsakes.

This invitation is from the Daisy & Diamonds Collection…

Beautiful and girly – but the big surprise is even the men love this design.
Each daisy has a tiny diamond centre which sparkle from all angles.

The scrolls are priced at £5.85 each and include a postal tube.
