To all our beloved clients, fans and industry friends we wish you all a splendid New Years!

Please note that because we have had a rather long creatively crazy year , a few hundred weddings, laughs, tears, and excitement, our offices are currently closed for a short rest period until the 9th of January 2012.

This is done so that once back at the studio in January we will be able to come back with a bang and give our clients our full creative attention.Unfortunately creativity requires rest in order to flourish! Healthy body = healthy mind

Exsisting pre-arranged orders and weddings will be done before we reopen, but no new orders and consultations will commence until the 9th of January 2012 . For any emergencies please contact Carla on 082 738 1788.

We will be starting off the New Year with a host of new fonts and ideas! The fonts above are just a taster of some of the new gems we have added to our collection! If any of them catch your eye then please let us know and we can incorporate them into your wedding invitations or wedding stationery.

We appreciate your cooperation in this regard and would also like to thank all our clients and industry friends for the wonderful pressies that were sent to us over Christmas. They were muchly apprciated!

With love and well wishes for the New year ahead!

I thought it best to chat a bit about one of old time favourites today instead of something brand spanking new.The format we are shining a spotlight on today is our fabulous A5 three fold invitation!

This wedding invitation option offers so much versatility and is chosen so often by our clients for that very reason. One can jam pack tons of info into the folder without it looking too busy, as well as it can be designed with many a different design styles. In this specific option the brief was black and white, with a twist of fun – so we opted to use many different fonts and small decorative additions to bring the design to life. We have found that this particular invitation format works quite well with so many different looks and themes, from a classic timeless look  and feel, to a vintage farm chic and modern elegance. This format is a timeless studio favourite of ours!

Always bear in mind that all our invitations come with the option of having a matching envelope. And why not save yourself the time draining exercise of hand writing each guests names onto your envelopes, by allowing us to print your guests names and addresses for you!

Love

With it being peak wedding season, there is rarely ever time for our entire team to get together and just enjoy an ice cream or lunch together. In saying that, we could hardly resist the child like temptation of the sound of the local ice cream man when he came peddaling down our street. The poor unsuspecting ice cream man could probabaly believe his luck when out jumped all 12  creative bombshells and bombarded him for ice cream. All in all it was a YUMMY quick little get together and photo opportunity and was enjoyed by all! One cant resist but sing the cheesy lyrics to the “Friday song” by Rebecca Black!

To all our clients and industry friends! As Rihanna says it: “Heres to the Freakin weekend!”

We are thrilled about our feature and look forward to working with Fair Lady Bride again in the future. So run out and buy your copy on store shelves now!
