Why should you create bespoke wedding stationery for your big day?
Your wedding stationery should be more than simply informative, it should be an experience.
From the moment your invitations arrive through your guests’ letterboxes to the details they keep long after the celebration, stationery becomes a lasting keepsake of your day.
Together we will create a beautifully cohesive stationery suite, from save the dates and bespoke wedding invitations to elegant on-the-day details. Each piece is thoughtfully layered with pattern, colour, texture and storytelling elements to create luxury wedding stationery that feels personal, distinctive, timeless and unmistakably yours.
The Craft of Bepoke Wedding Stationery
I design and create every element of your stationery from my Oxfordshire studio so we have full control of the final designs. I work with professional printers and hand finish all my designs making sure your final results are the highest possible specification and quality.
We will discuss stunning details like bespoke venue illustrations, card and envelope textures, wax seals, luxurious ribbons, print finishes, bespoke maps and even poetry meaning as each element comes together your wedding vision grows in depth and personality.
The world really is your oyster if you choose to work with Deabill & Quince. The experience is one to enjoy, cherish and surprise you. Often resulting in incredibly personal results you will treasure a lifetime.
Due to the high level of design work I only take on around twenty weddings a year, so if you want to work together to create magic please do get in touch as soon as you have your date confirmed.
Allegra & Nick, Owners of Hedsor House
"Freya was the most wonderful supplier at our wedding. Her creativity and attention to detail is second to none, and her designs are truly beautiful and so unique. We absolutely loved all of the stationery she created for us, so much so that we then asked her to design our wedding thank you cards as well. She is a dream to work with, and we would recommend her to all brides thinking about who to use for their wedding stationery."
How does the bespoke wedding stationery design process work?
On average I will spend around 100 hours designing, creating and compiling your incredible wedding stationery from save the dates right through to on the day stationery.
We begin with an informal call where we chat everything weddings, you tell me your plans, I get excited!
From there I create a bespoke proposal based on everything we talked about which includes your beautiful mood board.
If you decide to move ahead you can then access a private design portal where all your design files, contract, invoicing and sign off files will be available over the course of the journey meaning everything is easy to control and keep track of.
You can learn more about the creative process we will take on my FAQs page.
Inspiration
Inspiration for your wedding stationery can be taken from many places; a colour, a memory, architectural details from your wedding venue, your heritage and cultures, your hobbies or a theme for your day.
I will then bring everything together creating bespoke patterns, design details, illustrations and design layers to develop the most perfect stationery suite for you, your personalities and your day.
What design details can be included in your wedding stationery?
There are many ways we can build texture, layers of love and personality into your wedding invitations and stationery whilst keeping the most breathtaking and elegant result.
Wedding Websites
Do you need to convey alot of additional information to your guests?
Maybe you have a lot of guests travelling from abroad to join you and posting invites simply isn't practical?
Do you want a simpler keepsake invite but still give all the relevant details about your big day with ease?
Let me create you the most perfect, user friendly yet stunningly designed wedding website. 100% complimented to your stationery and day itself using illustrations, colour palettes, patterns, fonts and details from your physical stationery to keep the guest experience as consistent and fluid as possible.
Please note I do not create websites without also creating a keepsake run of physical keepsake invitations.
Wedding Poetry
Poetry is often linked with love, romance and memories, so this is a perfect setting for you to create a piece of history for your life together.
I work with the most incredible poet, Jen Feroze who can also offer an on the day service for your wedding by bringing her gorgeous clackety typewriter and creating bespoke poems on the spot for you and your guests to keep and remember.
To truly elevate your stationery, why not include a favourite excerpt from a book or commission your very own personal poem to include in your stationery, ceremony or vows.
On the Day Stationery
Your RSVPs are in, your menu confirmed, the plans are coming together and its time to add those finishing touches to your day.
This is when everything starts to weave its magic and the design of your stationery can truly elevate your wedding aesthetics.
You may be caught up in the dress, the flowers and the entertainment but often you will find that the stationery is one of the elements of your day that your guests will interact with, pick up and take home as a reminder of the most incredible day spent celebrating your love.
We can work on a whole range of stationery from the must haves such as order of services, welcome signs, table plans, place names, menus, table names / numbers, but also those added extras like room hangers, reserved seating signs, vow's books which can make your day remarkable.
