We created a couture design for their invites, which included a gold ornate perspex invitation, a textured additional card with gold foiled text and a custom monogram. The invite was placed inside a white textured envelope with a custom-made wax seal. The classic gold and white theme continued throughout their stationery designs in the four-page program fans, napkin bands, and on-the-day decor.

From the all-white floral arrangements and island garlands hanging from the ceilings to the casual reception dinner on the beach, this wedding feels like it hit the perfect combination between a destination and traditional style.

The invitation is an A5 flat card made from thick white paper, with digitally printed text. The envelope is made from brown kraft paper and finished off with a patterned liner.

The menu follows through with the pattern, white overlay and text printed on a white A5  card. The place card and paddle program fan make use of the same crisp design to keep that golden thread. The paddle fan is ideal for summer weddings – so simple but so practical! The seating chart is a large block mounted canvas and we see the signature botanicals coming through once again.

If your stationery style is natural, crisp design with green botanical and white flower detail, then this suite could be the one! See below to shop the entire suite, or have a browse at them individually by clicking on the links below each photo.

I love how to see how invitations and stationery come together in the end as a cohesive vision. This invite and stationery suite was no different. I love how the couple’s personalities shone through the little touches in the stationery – from the cutest “best day ever” phrase recurring throughout to the hilarious “sit yo’ ass down!” on the seating chart. It seems like one really gets to know the couple by the stationery and quirky details they incorporated into their special day.

The wedding photos were taken by the amazing Kikitography. Hop on over to their blog for more of Tatum and Piero’s wedding pics!

If you love Tatum and Piero’s stationery style, you can browse their invites, menu, seating chart, program, and cake topper on our online store.

Even though each of the items below were inspired by it’s leading counterpart, they are all special in their own way. The menu is bold and confident as a DL flat card, laid neatly on a simple napkin. The bar menu feels more quirky and exciting as it stands as a tented sign. And then keeping up with the rest of the suite, the programme adds just a touch of whimsy when it’s tied together with twine.

These items work together lovely and maintain the golden thread of the suite with each sporting matching paper and that really specially designed wreath monogram.

This beautiful black and gold stationery was designed for Tracy and Colin’s wedding at Val de Vie Estate in Paarl. A classy mix of romantic golden elements and quirky black and white gift favours makes this the ultimate wedding stationery to drool over. The different paper elements work well together to create an elegant and luxurious stationery suite for any modern wedding. The gold engraved perspex fan that is finished with a golden tassel is the perfect order of service stationery for any hot wedding in the Cape. The golden laser cut and engraved badge and place card adds to the unique and glamorous appeal of this stationery suite. The simple touch of black and white striped elements like the tented food cards, ice cream cone and laser cut food flags add a certain down-to-earth nature to the best part of the wedding; which is of course the food. If you would like to see more of Tracy and Colin’s stationery designed by Secret Diary have a look at their passport styled invitation, menu design and seating plan which was done on a beautiful golden mirror at the Val de Vie Estate in Paarl.

We recently created this beautiful sea inspired wedding stationery suite for a bride and groom getting married on the West Coast.

They wanted a pattern that was totally signature to them and that is just what we gave them! The blue and white pattern was hand painted by our team of extraordinary designers and we are oh so blown away by the outcome!
The suite comprised of an invitation with a matching custom made square envelope, a round paddle fan order of service for the guests to stay cool on those sultry summer SA days, a long slim DL menu which also doubled up as the guest place setting which was neatly placed on each guests plates. Their seating chart cards were hung from a  tree outside the venue and each guest name was neatly printed in calligraphy text onto little blue cards which were suspended our of the tree by long ribbons.

Our mood board for this delightful wedding stationery suite comprised of sea glass colours, pictures of the ocean, coastal life and marine  imagery as well as a hint of a flourish pattern here and there. Perfect for a sea side wedding!
This was the lovely outcome which we are most chuffed with!

Should you be interested in having us paint / draw or create something OH SO TOTALLY unique for you, please don’t hesitate to contact our studio for more information.

Please note that we provide all our Secret Diary brides with a mood board (as seen above) to help put together a look and feel for their wedding.

Love
The SD team
