    Some of our latest wedding invitation designs!

    Posted in: Secret Diary Designs, Wedding invitations, Wedding stationery

    This gorgeous vintage layered stitched invitation was created for the lovely Deane and Dewald and was a real treat for us to design! These stitched layered invitation generally range from about R35.00 upwards depending on the number of pages you require and the quantatity and come in a variety of sizes. Always remember that each and every design that we create is 100% custom to that specific client.Matching customised envelopes are optional with all our stationery.

    Pure laser cut perfection, this invitation captured the heart and essence of local photographer Veronique Norval who will be getting married later this year. Veronique opted for 2 rectangular cards layered on top of one another finished with a gold shimmer laser cut belly band. Her beautiful nude colour palette was a pleasure to work with and this was the incredible result! Keep your eyes peeled for her reception stationery which we will be starting on shortly.

    Perfectly purple, these square layered invitations were created for clients of the “oh so fabulous” Jaco from Just Jack Wedding coordination. Again we can bring any design style into any invitation format to suit the look and feel of your wedding!

    Because we have been so unbelievably busy this past holiday season, we seem to have been neglecting our fans in terms of posting regular eye candy of our work!

    We thought we would catch up and show you a few of our latest and greatest wedding invitation designs we have done in the last 2 or so months!

    We would love to hear from you, so let us know what you think?! Email us at info@secretdiary.co.za

    Passport invitations

    Posted in: Passport Invitations, Secret Diary Designs, Vintage monograms, Vintage postcards, Wedding invitations, Wedding stationery

    We have just recently created this little gem of a wedding invitation for the most amazing couple!

    Mandi and Eddie are getting married in April at Molenvliet Estate and are having their wedding coordinated by the Aleit group. In saying that they wanted something completely signature to them. Having travelled together in the past as well as their relationship being a journey in itself they decided that a passport invitation would be the most fitting to them.

    The look and feel of the passport invitation was to be more of a vintage look and feel but still incorporating a semi authentic passport / journey essence to the stationery. Antique stamps, photo strips and hand drawn illustrations were brought into the invitation design. Our talented newest designer Stacey also hand illustrated a charming little map to Molenvlient Estate to fit in with the rest of the invitations vintage theme. Each booklet was stitched together with cotton thread and comprised of 8 small pages. The amount of pages may be minimised as a pocket friendly alternative.

    Since designing this invitation we have already had two other clients wanting the same passport invitation idea which we have happily agreed to give them!

    Thank you Mandi and Eddie for being such superb clients and for all the kind words!

    For more information on this kind of invitation design and pricing please contact our studio on (021) 981 9682 or email us at info@secretdiary.co.za

    Secret Diary Designs at the Little Pink Book Pool Party

    Posted in: Decor Hire, Secret Diary Designs, Stationery design, Wedding stationery, invitations

    We were lucky enough to recently be asked to assist with all the stationery, design and printed goods for the Little Pink Books annual party and this year the theme was  “Pink Pool Party” and boy was it a party! It was held at the AMAZING Villa Lara in Llundudno Cape Town, with stunning sea and mountain views!

    One of the focal points was definitely the cascading pink candy and cake bar display (Bar by in and out events and Cakes by Wades cakes). What a sight to behold and even better to taste! We created lovely lasercut candy tags for the candy buffet which were a real hit! Along with hot pink vinyl lasercut signage on the front of the bar which finished off the look and feel quite nicely.

    Perspex “car bling” was hung from a pink Cadillac’s rear view mirror which was parked in the driveway to the venue.

    Branded Pink lemonade crushers followed by brutal fruit pink-tinis were the drinks of the evening ! Each glass had a round branded tag attached to the base of the glass with  words such as “chic”, “think pink” and “pink-tinis”.

    The crushers were branded with glossy round waterproof  branded stickers .

    We incorporated a lot of large format printed banners into the event, this being  just one of the many that were displayed around the venue.

    These were just a few pics from the party, watch this space for more as we will be loading up new pics every day!

    Keep a keen eye on our facebook page for the latest updates as to what we are up to and the latest trends and pics!

    Ciao for now!

    Love the SD team
