I was excited to discover that Bristol & Somerset Your Wedding Magazine have chosen to feature our ‘Grace’ design in this month’s issue!
This is part of their ‘Statement Stationery’ article and we’re very pleased to have SlaterSparke included as one of their top invitation designers. Thank you to the editor who got in contact with us and asked for images and details. Grace was highlighted as an example of how lace can be incorporated to give a vintage look and I think it looks great.
You can find this Dec/Jan issue of Your Wedding at WH Smith, Borders and other independent newsagents, and you can find out more about this publication at www.yourbristolsomersetwedding.co.uk. It’s a wonderful glossy magazine, packed with loads of ideas and especially useful for brides to be in the west of England.
Look out for more press appearances for SlaterSparke in 2010 when we’ll start a new marketing campaign and launch more new stationery designs.
These lovely name card holders are just the ticket for that festive wedding. You can find them from Cox & Cox, one of my fav places for gifts and wedding ideas. They can double up as your baubles for many years to come so your guests will get a momento, if you feel like giving them away that is!

Anything to do with wedding and vintage immediately catches my eye. I saw someone choose an old style key like this one above, add a classic tag with your guests names and voila! A really nice vintage feel and something that looks a little different. Your guests can keep the key as a momento of your wedding day for years to come. You can pick these keys up in your local brick-a-brack shop for ten a penny. Why not give it a go!

How nice to have a festive wedding. Around this time there are so many different wedding options. As we know the shops are already full of baubles and tinsel so you can really brighten up your wedding tables a treat! Look at these fab effective candle holders to place pretty much anywhere on your special day!
The vintage style wedding is set to be the hot topic again for 2010. So why not start your research now to find the latest bouquets, favours and that vintage style dress to match this ever so popular theme! This bouquet I found is so beautiful and has the feeling of style, elegance and of course vintage!
You could even make your own table flowers by purchasing a mixture of different vases and filling them with various flowers to match, such as roses or peonies depending on the season.
Why not start getting your guests talking as soon as they arrive with a handmade ‘Wedding’ plaque, unique to you and something you can pass down the generations. So easy to make and you could even use the easel for your table plan later in the day.
