“I can’t tell you how thrilled I am Zoe, this is everything I hoped it would be!”
Isy
I had so much fun working with Isy and Ope on their wedding stationery. I created a bespoke, hand drawn design that was used across their wedding invitations and on the day items.
“It’s a real pleasure to introduce Isy, a marketing executive at Sotheby’s Auction House and Ope, who works at American Express. They married on 7 September 2019 in a wonderfully vibrant, fusion wedding which blended English and Nigerian traditions, with their reception in a PapaKåta tent set in the romantic, country estate of Buckhurst Park, Withyham, East Sussex.”

My stationery brief was to create something totally unique – obviously this is the whole premise of my service so I set to work straight away. Isy and Ope were a pleasure to work with and chose the roll folded invitation format, with enough space for a hand drawn map and bountiful illustrations.
The style we went with was a mix of Penned Postcard and Keepsake Floral. Sticking with an illustrative, line drawn style but using romantic and wild floral sprays, bouquets and borders throughout.
A quirky addition was their beloved feline friend who sat by their feet and took centre stage as the invitation unfolded.
