Rubber Stamps

A great idea for the 'DIY' bride - Your wedding monogram or logo is usually designed very early on during your wedding planning journey and often the same design would be used throughout your stationery from your save the dates to your thank you cards.

If you are planning on printing your own invitations and other stationery items, getting a rubber stamp designed and made would be a great way to personalise each item and have a common thread running throughout all the stationery. Imagine your logo stamped on the back of your invitation envelopes, on cocktail napkins and thank you tags.

These stamps are something that you can keep and use for your own personal stationery, long after the wedding is over. Contact us to design your unique logo and to transform it into a useful little tool, giving your stationery it own exclusive edge.

Claire & Jono

We were thrilled when we got the call from Marius of Weddings by Marius to design yet another one of his bride's stationery. Claire opted for an understated and beautiful wedding invitation featuring a thistle plant. This natural, organic feel was carried through to their wedding stationery for the day where Joe Dreyer was on site to capture these amazing shots.

Lindy & Jeremy - Pre-Wedding Picnic

I think, If I had to 'do it all over again', this is the sort of celebration I would have! Well Lindy and Jeremy had the best of both worlds. They invited all their guests to a pre-wedding picnic on Noordhoek beach before the main event to follow the next day in the beautiful Cape Winelands. Have a look at these gorgeous photos taken by welovepictures.

The amazing Christina and Kim from Wedding Concepts coordinated the flawless events. Visit the Wedding Concepts blog for more!

Cutlery envelopes for a picnic wedding

We just love the little extra, dare we say 'not entirely necessary' details that make a celebration so unique. We are always looking for areas to add a special touch to make your guests think to themselves, 'Oh, isn't that just perfect!'


We received an enquiry from a lovely bride yesterday looking for envelopes for her guest's cutlery. Above is what we proposed to her. We think this is the perfect way to finish of your picnic baskets.

Nicole & Scott

I met Nicole and Scott for the very first time on Thursday morning when they came to collect their wedding stationery. As they live abroad all correspondence was done via email - everything turned out beautifully and Nicole still commented how the stationery was one of the easiest elements of her wedding to organise...even from the UK!

Chanine & Conway

Chanine and Conway were looking for something elegant and sophisticated. Off white sheen card and silver foiling, semi-transparent vellum sleeves and champagne satin ribbons were used for their invitations. This transcended through to their wedding stationery for the day beautifully. We really love the bird graphics that she chose as a feature element on their stationery as well.
