Real Wedding: Gemma & Ashley, 28th August 2021 – Hyde House, Cotswolds.

Being asked to be a part of a couples wedding day is such a privilege, one we take very seriously and pride ourselves on building relationships with our clients based on trust.

Gemma and Ashley were no exception to this rule; Gem enquired with us at the end of March 2020, we’d all just gone into a full blown lockdown and having an email like Gems gave us faith that
all was not lost, people still had faith and
that things would of course return to normal!


Gem was excited, upbeat and organised (a brilliant combination!) and we were eager to get started on her save the dates as soon as we could. 

Gem & Ashley were bold in style with royal blue being the integral theme running throughout their wedding.

Gem was all for luxury, in her initial enquiry all Gem knew she had to have was Gold Hot Foiling.. we always know we’re off to a good start when that’s a necessity!

As the process went on we soon realised
that Gem was in fact, a gem herself!


She was excited, full of enthusiasm and gratitude and generally just trusted us to get it right for her.
There’s nothing like a client that has every faith in our ability and creative thinking. 

The Save the Dates and Invitations set a clear and concise theme
to work towards for the Day stationery …

And speaking of Day stationery,
well… No stone was left unturned:

Order of Service

Welcome sign

Order of the Day sign

Table Plan 

Dancefloor rules sign

Table Numbers

Menus

Place names

Gem and Ashley had everything – and better still,
EVERYTHING was photographed and captured
on the Big Day. 


We’re so lucky to have lovely, kind and thoughtful clients.
We often get sent pressies, cards and emails thanking us for our part in our couples weddings,
but hand on heart,
the best gift we can be given is professional images of our stationery from the Big Day…

And well, Gem made sure that wish really did come true for us.

Gem asked her fabulous Photographer, Noel of Cotswolds Pictures to capture every last bit of our stationery, and boy did he deliver.

So a massive thank you not only goes to Gem for asking him to prioritise this, but also to Noel for getting so many, fabulous photos. We are honestly so so grateful!


Something that really struck us when we received the wedding gallery from Gem was
just how happy her and Ashley looked on their wedding day.
Maybe sounds silly, of course everyone is full of happiness on their big day,
but something about this couple just warms our hearts.
