Stationery Design // Bloved Weddings & The Style Guide // The Colour Clash Issue

If you missed the whole Colour Clash wedding inspiration shoot on Bloved Weddings, you must pop by and see it! Based around the Pantone Colour of the Year, Radiant Orchid, Louise created a concept with a bright colour palette. Itty Bitty Bijou is the Stationery contributor for Bloved Weddings 'bteam' so I had the absolute pleasure of creating some cute pieces for this shoot!

Behold bright white card stock, grey text with a flamboyant font paired with a clean sans serif typeface, oh and some pretty ribbons sewn on too!

. With Thanks to Anneli Marinovich Photography for these beautiful images .

Valentine's Day Inspirations - Biscuiteers Biscuits...

We love The Biscuiteers and their 'Book of Iced Biscuits' which provides plenty of pretty inspirations for different occasions in the form of biscuits. Not just any biscuits, but beautifully decorated and what we like to call embellished biscuits! They look too good to eat and are surely great fun to make yourself! We had to share some inspirations from this book with you which we thought would be perfect for Valentine's Day!

- Valentine's Love Hearts -
Perfectly pretty little heart shaped biscuits decorated with icing polka dots
or roses! We just love the pink & white polka dot design...

- I Love You Madly -
Cute letter shaped biscuits to spell out a message to you Valentine...

- The Book of Iced Biscuits from The Biscuiteers -
The book if filled with beautiful photography, illustrations & inspiring ideas...

Favour Packaging Finds...

Following on from our previous post Nice Package, we have some great finds to create some great gift wrap/packaging ideas. These are ideal for favours whether for weddings, showers of birthdays!

We looked at craft supplies you could purchase to recreate the more modern looks from our previous inspiration post. Going with neon pink, gold glitter twine and cute kraft pillow boxes, we thought there is still room for you to personalise these - perhaps try your hand at doing your own calligraphy or even use a custom made stamp for the labels - we design custom & bespoke monograms which would be ideal for this!

To purchase any of the above items or see more products available from these 

shops visit their Etsy stores here: Knot & Bow and The Wrappery

Happy Valentine's Day

We created a free printable to spread the love on Valentine's Day! It's a Valentine's Day ticket for you to print and customise however you like. Whether you are cooking a romantic meal, planning a trip away, sharing a bottle of wine and watching a movie... you can use this whatever your plans! Pop it in their Valentine's Day card, use pretty ribbon or some twine and tie it to a bottle of wine - get creative and pop a picture on our facebook page to show us how you used it! We shall share our own too...
