Morrocan Themed Favours and Invitations.

Here are a couple of wedding favour ideas to go with my Morrocan inspired wedding.

I love these little pill boxes placed on a rich coloured napkin with a thankyou card. They could contain a little piece of hamemade jewellery/ homemade cufflinks.

Or this chocolate bar with our names and date of the wedding on is great too. I could make these sleeves myself and put them on a normal chocolate bar.

This incense wrapped in beautiful eastern inspired paper would make a great favour too.

Love this invitation, it's so elegant and detailed. The colour is perfect for this theme and I love the way the envelope opens and the wax seal.

I thought this was an unuual invite because of the way it opens. I love the pretty detailed pattern printed on it.

I love these little elephant place name holders, they are so cute.

QuicKutz Letterpress Machine.....

Still loving the idea of buying a QuicKutz Letterpress Machine to use for making my invitations. Here are the three 'wedding' plates which can be used alongside the 'everyday' plates to create some beautiful invitations, save the dates, table plans and more. They contain useful words alongside beautiful flowers, flourishes, birds, leaves and more.

Here are some examples of what you can do with the Letterpress machine and plates.......

You could combine it with beautiful patterned papers for a bold approach.

Or keep it simple and elegant.

There's the possibility of having all the stationary themed but with subtle differences like this one, I love the orange and blue colour combination here.

Or go all out with the many beautiful fonts available.

Floral Stationary

At the moment I'm thinking about my stationery. If I go for a summer/spring wedding at Exbury gardens, I'm thinking a classy, floral theme could be the way to go.

I love Sweet Cherry Meadow (http://www.sweetcherrymeadow.co.uk/) provide a great range of wedding stationary.Their products are not mass produced, meaning each set is completely bespoke to your own needs. I love these two floral invites:

Scissor Paper Stone have more striking designs.( http://www.scissorpaperstone.com/site/) My favourites are:

Of course as a crafter I'm thinking about making my own stationery, but I like the printed look. So I'm thinking about investing in a Letterpress machine to do my own. You can buy loads of different lettering and images to suit any theme and it looks really professional.

Here are some examples made using the letterpress machine:

Peacock wedding stationary.

Doing a little more research into the peacock theme, definetely in my top three so far! Here's some of the fabulous wedding stationary that's inspiring me at the minute. As a crafter I will probably be making my own wedding stationary using some of these ideas, but putting my own personnal stamp on it.

These peacock place cards are from Etsy shops Timeless Paper, I love them as they are quite plain but still fitting with the theme.

Love this invitation as it looks so classy, and gives a taster of whats to come at the wedding. Visit www.zazzle.com

This one is fab as it uses an actual peacock feather and not just a print/picture of one. Visit www.paperolive.com

This is an amazing save the date card as it is so much fun!!!! I feel that whilst I want a really classy invitation I can have a bit more fun with the save the date cards. Visit www.zazzle.com .

Zazzle is certainly my favourite shop for this theme, this fun photo album is from there too. I don't know if this is perhaps too OTT for me?

Love this thankyou card. I like the idea of our thankyou cards incorporating the wedding theme. Visit www.documentsanddesigns.com.

This thankyou card is alot more classy, I love the simple plain design. Visit https://shop.getmarried.com.

These place settings are so pretty. Visit www.magnetstreet.com.
