We have some exciting new Christening invitation additions to The Invitation Collection.
Many of the Christening Invitations in our current range are bright, fun and theme orientated. We drew inpiration for our latest designs from an old world theme. A slight change of direction to cater for the sofisticated and elegant Christening event. All designs are colour customisable.

It is by keeping with traditions that brides choose to wear a garter on their wedding day. This is normally removed by the groom close to the end of the wedding night in front of all the guest and thrown into a group of single men. The single man who catches the garter gets to keep it as a lucky omen.
Every bride wants to be different and unique. So when I came across “The Garter Girl” I thought she had something very unique to offer. Julianne Smith founder of The Garter Girl creates unique garters, from modern to couture styles and can also custom design garters to tie into your wedding so you can keep to the tradition in style. They are so nice you would want to buy two, just so you can keep one for yourself.
Julianne will be on maternity and will be unable to take orders until after the 15th of October but I just couldn’t resist sharing this one with you now.
Have a great weekend x
The Invitation Collection has got a new look! I am so pleased with the design of our site. I love the freshness of it, it has also really motivated me in to creating some new and exciting designs. I decided to use light blue in one of our latest designs and I have created an inspirational colour board to exploit it.
Meaning of light blue: Associated with health, healing, tranquility, understanding and softness.

New black and white luxurious wedding invitations “Royal and Passion”.
