Today we have a guest post from Ilona, owner of Paper Sherbet to tell you all about her stationery business and a great offer this July.


Paper Sherbet is a local Bristol stationer which specialises in creating affordable custom made wedding stationery – every piece of work created is individual to you and never created for anyone else. We work with the most fabulous paper suppliers and printers in the industry both here and far to source the finest materials for each couple. A personal and one to one service means everything is always friendly and flexible and can be suited to you. All the work is handmade, so everything has a personal touch and nothing is mass produced.



We offer a range of stationery for weddings and civil partnerships including Save the Date cards and magnets, luxury pocketfold invitations, and a plethora of items for on the big day such as menus, escort cards for guests and unique wedding favours to name a few.





During the month of July all couples booking wedding stationery will recieve a complimentary guest-frame print, our unique alternative to a guest book! Our guest-frames are professionally digitally printed on the finest Tinoretti Italian paper. Each guest-frame gives each guest the opportunity to add their fingerprint to the print and can sign their name/message to create a truly unique keepsake.




Each print is customised with your names and wedding date, and your initials placed in the carved love heart on the tree! With each guest-frame you can choose two fingerprinting pads available in many vivid, pearlescent and popular colours to suit your wedding theme or your home.

I was at the Top Hats & Tea Cups Vintage Wedding Fair organised by Marry Me In Somerset and the Mansion House in sunny Clifton yesterday. I thought this week would be a great time to feature some of the fantastic suppliers who were exhibiting, as well as the stunning venue itself.

I was next to the lovely Shell from Something Kinda Cute and loved her pretty stand. I also had not heard about her business before as she is based in Swansea, so thought this would be a great place to begin telling Bristol Wedding News readers about the fair.

                              

Shell began using her design background to produce quirky vintage inspired stationery after making stationery for her her own wedding and hasn't looked back since. Her range of stationery is gorgeous and would really suit someone looking for something stylish, different and fun.

                                                   

                              


You can order bespoke designs to match your theme or purchase the off the peg range online via the Something Kinda Cute website. Check out their pretty stand at the fair and check back this week for a full report on the fair and more supplier information.

"All my designs are created through initial hand drawing and painting, and are then digitally processed before being assembled and embellished.  I believe that wedding stationery really sets the theme for your day, and is also a perfect keepsake for your guests, so I ensure that every item is beautifully designed and finished. As all my work is handmade, it is totally unique, and not a mass-produced product, which makes your day all the more special.




I also offer a bespoke service, so if you have a theme in mind, let me know and we can work together to create your perfect day!"

You can find out more about Samantha Geen's products on her website or also you can visit her shop on Etsy or her facebook page.

It can be hard to find really stylish wedding invitations that are different from the norm, so we are delighted to share these stunning designs from Lucy Ledger.
