THE WEDDING JOURNAL SHOW BELFAST

We were exhibiting at The Wedding Journal Show in Belfast at the weekend, our first time exhibiting at the show, and it was a great success. We travelled up to Belfast on Thursday to set up for the show opening on Friday afternoon. The show ran for three days and was the busiest we have ever attended and we had a great response!

A huge thank you for everyone who attended the show and dropped by our stand and of course to the organisers for such a great show. We’ll be back in October.

I would like to wish a big congratulations to the five lucky winners of The Wedding Journal Show competition who all won a €100 Farrell & Chase wedding stationery gift voucher. Without further ado, they are Laura from Belfast, Clare from Belfast, Heather from Belfast, Amanda from Brighton and Christine from Cardiff.

A big thank you to everyone who entered our competition.

Please allow 7 days for delivery of gift vouchers. Any queries, please contact pamela at pamela@farrellandchase.com

Elizabeth & Brian

“We are getting married in Italy in September and wanted wedding invites to depict our wedding abroad. We used Farrell & Chase for our wedding invites and RSVP cards. Pamela was great to work with and no request was too big for her. The quality and style of the invites were excellent and our guests loved them. Thank you Pamela.”

REAL WEDDINGS - ELIZABETH & BRIAN

I was delighted to design and print Elizabeth and Brian’s destination wedding stationery. Elizabeth and Brian are getting married next September in the beautiful town of Santa Maria di Castellabate in Italy. They wanted to supply their guests with information about the destination, travel and accommodation details and their wedding weekend itinerary…

On meeting with them and discussing different options we decide to create a wedding booklet together with a detailed RSVP card. They loved our Chantilly Wedding Suite which we customised using antique gold and sapphire blue ink colours to reflect the sandy beaches and deep blue sea of the south of Italy. We also included two lovebirds throughout the suite, a charming and whimsical detail.

The front cover of the booklet is the formal wedding invitation which is letterpress printed on luxurious 100% cotton paper and the inner pages are laser printed on matching laid paper. We decided to stitch bind the booklets with cotton thread to continue the use of quality materials throughout.

The RSVP card allows guests to reply to a pre wedding get together, the wedding and a beach bbq the day after the wedding. The envelopes are a beautiful antique gold colour complimenting the invitations. The RSVP envelopes are letterpress printed with the return address and the invitation envelopes are digitally printed with guests names and addresses.

Wedding booklets were a great solution for Elizabeth and Brian’s destination wedding. Their guests can easily access all the information they need and also bring the booklets with them for reference when they are enjoying their trip to Italy.

We can customise any of our designs for destination weddings, creating wedding invitation booklets or separate wedding information booklets.

WE WON!!!

I attended the WeddingsOnline.ie Awards, Ireland’s Top 100 Wedding Suppliers, last night and I am thrilled to tell you that Farrell & Chase won the award for Best Wedding Supplier Website!

This award really means allot to me as I designed the website myself, it has been a long process and of course the website is always evolving. I have to say a big thank you to Loughlin and Ian from Choice Cuts for all their advice and help on usability and technical matters.

We arrived at the Crowne Plaza Santry yesterday evening and enjoyed canapes and Champagne at the bar with a string quartet playing in the background. It was great to meet so many of the WOL suppliers and put faces to names. We were then called into the really beautiful banqueting room for dinner. We enjoyed a three course meal followed by a very inspiring speech from Bill Cullen and then, the awards began.

We were seated at a table with Jill FitzGerald, from Cake Toppers Ireland, and the  Trim Castle Hotel. Congratulations to Trim Castle Hotel who were shortlisted for Wedding Venue of the Year - Hotel (Leinster). And a big congratulations to Cake Toppers Ireland who won Best Wedding Industry Newcomer. An amazing award to win.

I was congratulating Jill for her award when I was announced as the winner (Best Wedding Supplier Website), I really couldn’t believe it. My heart was pounding and I just kept thinking, please don’t trip (high shoes) while I was walking up to accept the award. Needless to say we finished up the night with a few celebratory drinks!

Thank you to everyone at Weddings Online for a great night and of course a big thank you to all our past and present Bride and Grooms.

I will get some pics up as soon as I get them.
