THE D4 BERKELEY WEDDING FAIR

A big thank you to everyone who visited our stand at The D4 Berkeley Wedding Fair last weekend!

We had a fantastic show with great interest in our new wedding invitation booklets, a great idea for couples getting married abroad or for couples who have allot of guests traveling to their wedding. There was a great buzz at the fair throughout the weekend and what amazing weather! A big congratulations to all the newly engaged couples who attended the show, I was admiring all your really stunning engagement rings.

I was delighted to meet Brendan Courtney, who hosted the event. The D4 Berkeley is a beautiful venue, my mother and father married there years ago when I was 10. Being at the show brought back allot of great memories. The venue is still as sophisticated and elegant as ever, with very friendly staff. The canapes and bubbly were delish! I’m very excited to find out the very lucky winners of the amazing 10K wedding at The D4 Berkeley this week.

CUSTOM STATIONERY - CARLEEN & JULIAN

I recently completed Carleen and Julian’s wedding stationery. I was delighted to design and print it for them, they were a joy to work with. Carleen and Julian are having a small intimate wedding in Dublin city in June followed by a wedding party at home the following evening. Carleen and Julian chose our Secret Garden wedding suite which we customise by adding fluttering butterflies to the design, a very nice whimsical detail. We designed both wedding and party invitations, RSVP cards and mass booklet covers all of which continue the elegant butterfly summer garden theme.

Carleen chose a dusty pink ink colour to match her sisters bridemaid dress which is complimented with sage green, creating a lovely dusty summery feel. Carleen chose silver envelopes which really compliment the invitations adding more depth to the colour scheme. We blind embossed a butterfly onto the envelope flap, a lovely hint of what’s to come for guests receiving the invitations and also letterpress printed the RSVP envelopes with the return address.
