Celebrating Heritage Day 2016!

Carla — Sat, 24 Sep 2016 05:30:44 +0000

Today is Heritage Day and we’ve designed a special suite for the occasion! Introducing National Treasure – an African-inspired invitation and stationery suite that makes one want to spend an afternoon with sundowners in one of South Africa’s magnificent game reserves. We’ve gone with a muted colour palette that is reminiscent of the dusty bushveld and we’ve brought in pretty tribal patterns, all to be printed on a smooth paper.

You can get your hands on this collection with the link below or shop individual items by clicking on them.

Our E-store Pick | The Atrium Suite

Carla — Fri, 09 Sep 2016 12:18:43 +0000

We are ending off this week with a beautiful botanical invitation and stationery suite. This is a full suite with all the bells and whistles; you’ve got your invitation, menu, place card, program/order of service and seating chart to complete the set. This suite is understated, but with a natural modern 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.

Wedding Feature: Tatum & Piero

Carla — Wed, 17 Aug 2016 12:34:36 +0000

A while ago we designed Tatum and Piero’s lovely navy and white wedding invitations. We talked about them in a blog post here, because they were just such cool and quirky pieces!

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!

Rene and Dirk’s Wedding

Carla — Mon, 25 Jan 2016 12:57:14 +0000

We recently created some stunning couture stationery pieces for Agape Wedding clients, Rene and Dirk, who were wed at Rockhaven Farm.

Every single detail of this wedding is exquisite – from the vintage car down to the monogramed cufflinks. The brief was for the stationery to be modern but with a warm botanical element to it. We designed this lovely floral pattern that incorporated pinks, berry tones, greens and golds. The whole wedding looks absolutely stunning and was shot by the very talented Tasha Seccombe. Take a look at some of the stationery shots below and how beautifully everything fits together! The glitzy gold bridesmaids dresses are just incredible and look amazing hanging on our engraved wooden hangers. However one of our favourite pieces that we designed for this event is the canvas seating chart with the floral border.

Have a look at the rest of their wedding piccies on Tasha’s website here – prepare to be blown away by this one!

Rock ‘n Roll Wedding Bells

Carla — Thu, 03 Jul 2014 08:19:48 +0000

Everybody let’s Rock! Georgina and Niall did just that for their Rock ‘n Roll themed wedding which seemed to be a high rolling good time! Their existing logo (created by a close friend of the couple) inspired the design for their Save the Dates, Order of Service, Seating chart and decorative stickers. To add to the rocking theme, modern black and red laser cut perspex wording was used to add an element of fun to the tables illuminating the vinyl place setting.

Leigh-Ann & Richard

Leigh-Ann & Richard are born and bred South Africans who now call Bermuda their home. The soft graceful beachy colours from Bermuda influenced their water-colour laser-cut wedding invites as well as their minimalistic table decor & wedding stationery at Molenvliet. Fresh, clean and absolutely beautiful.

Lina + Edurdo – Valentines Bliss

Carla — Mon, 02 Jun 2014 09:25:09 +0000

We passionately collaborated with the Aleit Group for this romantic Valentines wedding at the Cavalli Estate in Somerset West. Lina and Eduardo went for a dazzling opulent look in their invite suite and wished to progress this direction in all their reception stationery. With multi layered gold foiled gift boxes and personalised silhouette gold perspex menus there was no detail left untouched.
