Hello Pollyanna

Wednesday, September 22nd, 2010

I am delighted to welcome the beautiful ‘Pollyanna‘ to the Poppiseed Designs range! The combination of the pretty yellow pattern and subtle grey text creates a delightful summery invitation, suited to many different wedding themes. It may be an elegant marquee wedding in a fragrant garden or perhaps a pretty, rustic county celebration complete with wood tables covered in pattered linens, mason jars filled with wild flowers and delightful home made lemonade stand like below…

Oh So Summery

Wednesday, September 8th, 2010

You can’t help but feel happy and cheery with this zesty summer colour palatte of tangerine and yellow. Our newest wedding stationery design ‘Flora’ screams fun, flirty and summer! These bright colours look fabulous for a beach wedding or a garden wedding. You could decorate table settings with lemons and oranges, beautiful poppies and checkered linens. To add to the summery atmosphere serve zesty yellow and orange cocktails, lemon cupcakes and nothing is more fun than a candy bar!

A Beach Wedding

Sunday, July 25th, 2010

Sand between the toes, the sound of the waves rolling in and the smell of salt in the air – what a beautiful setting to be married in. Our latest wedding stationery range ‘Shelly Beach‘ is perfect for a stylish beach wedding, a simple yet classy design. We are thinking a wedding reception incorporating gorgeous tones of blue set against old weathered whitewash. Have fun gathering old bottles, sea shells, beads and twine, then get creative and use them for table settings, bombonieres or even at the ceremony location.

Vintage Lace

Tuesday, June 8th, 2010

This inspiration board was created around our ‘Vintage Lace‘ wedding invitation, which I thought suited a vintage inspired summer afternoon wedding glowing in a palette of sage green, tangerine orange, peach and cream. Imagine a warm summer afternoon filled with wide brimmed hats, the clinking of glasses and a game of croquet. I love the idea of a lavish dinning table and chairs setup in a country style garden where an afternoon gathering could turn into a romantic night with the addition of some lanterns and fairy lights hanging in trees.

French Romance

Tuesday, May 4th, 2010

One of my favourite wedding themes at the moment is the beautiful and romantic french provincial wedding. Our latest stationery designs ‘Isabella‘ has been inspired by vintage birdcages and decorative details that adorn a french wedding. Think vintage lace, chandeliers, vintage brooches, birdcages, fancy script fonts, draping material, ornate frames…with all these gorgeous items you will leave your guests drooling!

Something Blue

Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue.

Why not add a touch of stylish sophistication to your wedding with a beautiful pale blue wedding dress…

Real Wedding – Camille & Barry

Monday, March 15th, 2010

The lovely Camille and Barry celebrated their stunning garden wedding in November 2009 and I have some of their beautiful photos to share with you. They had a small intimate wedding at a heritage listed homestead – Faversham Homestead, in Mundaring Perth.

Camille and Barry came to us last year searching for their perfect wedding invitation and could not quite find the right thing on our website, so they approached us to create a custom design. They decided on midnight blue for the bridesmaids dresses and wanted to carry that colour through to their wedding stationery, which was to have a formal, garden wedding theme.

Camille and Barry had us use their design to create a seating chart which they had beautifully framed and positioned on a stand for guests to see where they were to be seated.

They also wanted to have a three sided menu / table number which was to sit on each table – one side had the table names, which were all creatively named after flowers, another side had the menu selection and the other had the guests names seated on that table.

Individually named bomboniere boxes were presented on the tables for each guest.

Camille and Barry told us “We loved every single moment of the day and spent the whole day laughing.”

Congratulations Camille and Barry on a stunning wedding day, thank you so much for sharing it with us!

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.
