Happy New Year

January 9th, 2010

Well we are back on board after our short Christmas break and have started out busy as ever.

It seems the festive season is the the time to get engaged, as we have had a flood of engagement invitation enquiries and orders coming in. So if you have had the pleasure of recently popping the question then we have a large range of engagement invitations from formal to fun to invite your family and friends to help you celebrate. Many of our engagement invitations can also have the colours altered to suit your theme if you wish. And if you still can’t find something to suit, then you may like one of our wedding invitations which we would be happy to alter into an engagement invite.

Some of our favourite engagement invitations are:

We will also be adding more invitations to our enagagement invitation range this year so I will keep you posted on those…

Real Wedding – Clare & Jason

December 11th, 2009

I have the pleasure of sharing a simply stunning wedding we were fortunate enough to print the stationery for. Clare and Jason celebrated their wedding in October this year at the beautiful heritage-listed Silvermere in the Blue Mountains. They chose to invite their guests to a beautiful garden wedding with invitations from our Lilianna range.

The very talented Gemma Clarke captured the beautiful moments of  Clare and Jason’s special day.

Juliet

November 28th, 2009

If you love the ever popular vintage style wedding why not choose the ‘Juliet‘ wedding invitation which sets the tone for a shabby chic style wedding with its elegant, pretty and romantic  style. Combine with a vintage style dress and antique style flowers to match. The wonderful thing about this kind of wedding is that you can save plenty of money by scouring charity shops and garage sales for interesting ‘old style’ accessories to finish the overall look off.

Sorry for the lack of posts of late, but I have been very busy with the newest little member of the Poppiseed Team, who was welcomed to the world on September 30. I was so proud to send out thank yous to our family and friends using the Little Birdie design. I hope to be more on track now with my posts and have many exciting new things coming up to share.

One Invite – Endless Options!

September 8th, 2009

At Poppiseed Designs we recognise that everyone has their own individual style and taste and this is no more apparent then at their wedding.  We endevour to have a large range of wedding invitations and update our range regularly, but we can never have the perfect invitation for everyone. For this reason we are happy to be flexible with our designs and have a colour chart available with a large range of colour options in which our invitations can be printed. We also have a font list available to help find the perfect matching font to go with the style.

One invitation we have found to be very popular and very regularly requested in another colour is our ‘Fiorella‘ design. So I thought we might put together some colour inspiration boards to demonstrate how one of our invitations can easily altered to suit so many different wedding styles.

Feeling Blue
The use of soft blue and grey creates a romantic and elegant country feel.

Cherry Blossom Wedding Theme

August 9th, 2009

With all the beautiful cherry blossoms on display at the moment I was inspired to put together a post on a cherry blossom themed wedding. Imagine being joined in marriage beneath the delicate blossoming trees, followed with a romantic garden reception decorated with paper laterns and hand fans as guests sip on fresh guava and lime cocktails.

Real Wedding – Lorelle & Sam

July 28th, 2009

The lovely Lorelle and Sam were married on the 18th of April and were kind enough to email us a beautiful photo taken by the talented Cato and Pade Wedding Photography of the ‘Vintage Rose‘ order of service covers we put together for them.

Lorelle was also kind enough to say… “I want to thank you for the beautiful order of service covers you designed for our wedding. They were absolutely gorgeous, the Priest even commented that most people don’t go to such lengths to create something so beautiful, but he thought it showed how much meaning it had to us to value the book so much.”

Congratulations Lorelle & Sam!
