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 Bespoke 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.
LOVE NOTES
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?
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 VENUE ILLUSTRATION
Whether its a watercolour, stylised digital design or line drawing we can foil or deboss adding an illustration of your wedding venue or location can truly elevate your stationery.
WAX SEALS
Monograms, pattern swatches, dried flowers, lavender sprigs... adding wax seals can create an incredible tactile and traditional feel to your wedding stationery.
DUAL LANGUAGE WEDDING STATIONERY
If you have an international guest list then don't worry, your invites can be reconfigured into dual language or a second language entirely so guests from all over the world know and understand how to come and celebrate with you.
BESPOKE WEDDING MONOGRAMS
Let me create a delicious monogram or crest to apply throughout your wedding stationery, this can include elements of your personality, your florals or the venue to make it even more personal.
PRINT FINISHES
Add incredibly luxurious layers by choosing to die cut, hot foil, letterpress or emboss areas of your stationery.
FABRICS
Ask how we can apply your patterns to soft furnishings like napkins, table cloths, signage, or favours to truly enhance your on the day experience and aesthetics. Then you get to keep them for your future together and recreate your wedding styling at home.
BESPOKE MAPS
With a background in cartography why not include a stunning bespoke wedding map of your venue, grounds or local area to help guests find their way.

I am a master of creating bespoke, hand drawn patterns and illustrative details. Commission your very own pattern or ask about using one of my existing designs for your wedding stationery to create an incredibly indepth result.
EXTRAS
It doesn't need to just stop at your invitations and table plan. Let's talk about extending that guest experience by creating some really fun additions for your day, think Christmas crackers, interactive table plans, signage, games... the power of paper knows no limits.
GO WILD
Your wedding stationery doesn't NEED to conform to tradition. Your day should be as unique as the blend of your personalities so why not think outside the box and truly make your guests jaws drop with amazement.
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.
