Darran & Lauren (Part Two)

Set in the beautiful Hunter Valley, Peterson's Champagne House provided the perfect backdrop for a late afternoon outdoor ceremony.

The reception was in the venue's Restaurant Cuvée, where guests overlooked the vineyards while sipping on the winery's own Pink Blush.

Pretty Inviting designed the stationery for the reception to follow the theme of the wedding invitations - a colour palette of blush pink, smokey grey and black combined with the graphic elements of a vineyard illustration, a modern wedding couple silhouette and vine leaves.

The stationery package included table seating chart, beer coolers (bonbonierres) and menu's (with a list of guests at each table on the back). Even the amazing cake featuring the same graphics completed the look.

The Save the Date magnets and Invitations that were designed for Darran & Lauren (in this same theme) can be viewed by clicking here.

Congratulations Daz & Loz!!! x

Katie & Nick (Part one)



I LOVED LOVED LOVED working on this stationery package.

Newcastle coffee shop owners, Katie & Nick, had a colour theme consisting of five colours - peppermint, olive, mustard, gold and latte. This colour palette sets an earthy but vibrant tone to the stationery, and along with a combination of spots and stripes to create a custom design so classy and eclectic that it has become one of my favourites to date. A collaborative effort with an amazing result!

The invitations are just the start of it...ceremony covers, placecards, bonbonierres tags and thank you cards are all in the works and as a package are modern, elegant and full of personality.

Travis & Jessica

Travis and Jessica gave me a stunning colour palette to work with – coral and vine green. I set out to create something featuring flowers, without it being ‘too florally’. A coral background with foliage line work and green accents set the tone for the entire wedding package.
The stationery was printed on metallic stock and consisted of a square concertina fold invitation with reply postcard and a ‘next day activities’ information card. The stationery was sent out to guests in green metallic envelopes, which complemented the stationery beautifully.
For the reception, menus, table name cards (featuring Spanish towns) and quirky vintage style postcards for each guest to write their personal messages were also printed.

Luke & Emma

Luke and Emma selected the 'Botanical' design range for their wedding stationery, which consisted of DL Invitations, Reply cards and Menus for the reception.

Kristy & Grant: The Knot's Wedding of the Week


Kristy & Grant: A Tropical Wedding in Port Douglas, QLD » The Knot
The couple chose elegant invitations from Pretty Inviting. They were black and white with magnets attached to the back. “They looked great, were inexpensive and all our friends still have them (probably inadvertently) lingering on their fridges, which gives us a silly warm-fuzzy when we see them!” says Kristy.

Nicci & Nathan




This is one from the vault (pre-blog), but I decided to share it with you today, as it's one of my favourites.

I was given a brief for this custom wedding invitation design of purple, chocolate brown and butterflies using a photo of the bride and groom as toddlers.

Given free reign (yay!), I created a montage of the two images, and incorporated butterflies in flight.

The result was whimsical and nostalgic.

Kathryn & Scott












Kathryn & Scott's wedding was styled around the 'Dotty' design range.

In pale pink, blue, latté and chocolate, the theme was carried through from the wedding stationery right through to the stunning wedding cake.

After the wedding, rather than send the traditional Thank You Card, Kathryn and Scott compiled music from their wedding and asked me to design a gift. Following the 'Dotty' theme, the CD of music had the track listing printed, and the matching CD Cardsleeve had a simple 'Thank You' message.

A wonderful gift that, when played by guests, evokes the memories of the wedding over, and over again. A perfect way to thank guests for sharing their day.

The couple had a great photo of them dancing that they wanted to feature on the front of the invitation and asked that the colour theme reflect their casual and stylish beach wedding.
