As any bride to be will know, it's all about meticulous planning and attention to detail! For me, every detail is hugely important and guests' impressions mean a lot to me. So when it came to finding our wedding invitations, I spent a lot of time working out the style of invites I wanted and visiting printers to check out paper weights, fonts, colour etc.
For me, it's all about 'less is more'... I wanted something very traditional, simple and elegant. However I didn't realise just how expensive this would be, and for awhile, I thought I would have to change my design... until I was introduced to The Letter Press of Cirencester.
Quality wedding stationers, The Letter Press of Cirencester, have been printing wedding invites for almost 30 years and offer a huge variety of invites in both classic as well as innovative, creative styles using raised print, letterpress print and foil blocking. (Check out the range here for inspiration).
I was hugely impressed with their offering and also at how informative their website is. There are colourplan swatches, paper swatches (who knew there was such a difference between smooth, laid and impression paper), information on inks, ribbons, bindi jewels, font illustrations etc. And if this isn't enough to guide you, their team is absolutely lovely and very helpful... I called several times asking for all sorts of advice!

In the end, I selected The Letter Press of Cirencester's classic style invite which was exactly what I set out to find. I went for classic style, 600 gsm, marina font, 8x6, fly sheet in high white wove heavy. As I haven't posted them yet - I am afraid I am not going to upload any pictures of my invites just yet, but see below for an example of the kind of style.
The invitations arrived in very smartly packaged boxes - they looked very luxe indeed and I have to say, they are absolutely PERFECT! I have seen so many invites working in luxury PR, but these are by far the best (and not just because they are my very own wedding invites)... my only regret... that I didn't buy more for keepsake!
