Cards By Sophie

For Follow Friday this week I am introducing Cards By Sophie design wedding stationery which are unique, so you will not find it anywhere else. Here Sophie tells us all about Cards By Sophie

In 2007, I was getting married abroad and having a reception for friends and family back in the UK.  In preparation, I spent hours trawling the internet to find suitable invitations and other items for our wedding. I couldn’t find anything that could be personalised, where you were allowed to change the colours, to include different wording or to choose a particular font. The frilly old fashioned designs just didn't work for me either. 

So I decided to create a collection that is stylish, simple and contemporary yet affordable…. just what you are looking for!

Cards by Sophie offers two different ranges, in our first we have unique, handmade and completely personal designs. Each design can be customised to your requirements, for example the colours of ribbons, handmade paper or Swarovski crystals can be changed to match your wedding theme and colours. There are no set rules, the stationery is available in a range of sizes, and you can create your own wording on the inside and outside of each card.

Our second range features four fabulous printed designs. You can add your own wording on the inside and outside of the card and add an additional personal touch of Swarovski crystals to match your wedding theme.

Your stationery is the first key step to setting the tone and choosing may help you decide on your flowers and other accessories. Think about the sort of clothes you love, your ideal décor, and the place where you are getting married. This will help you decide whether you’re going for something traditional or modern. What colours do you love? It could be your favourite colour, or something that reminds you of where you met your partner.

Many of my brides chose ribbon colours on the stationery to match the bridesmaid’s dresses and send me a swatch of fabric. It is amazing the difference a font makes to your invitation as well, again setting the scene - the stationery is the first thing your guests will see! The choices you make can be taken right through to on the day items, such as order of service, table plans and place cards. Pick something you love and can be proud to send to friends and family, don't settle for second best. I always think anything is possible so just ask, I love a challenge!
