OTTIE DESIGN, BESPOKE WEDDING STATIONERY, BECCA SAYS… About the company “Ottie Design is a bespoke wedding stationery company, providing couples with a unique and personalised touch to their special day. We collaborate closely with each couple to capture their individual style and vision. The service encompasses a diverse range of options, including custom-designed invitations, save-the-date cards, table plans, as well as those extra ‘on-the-day’ little touches. We pride ourselves on crafting one-of-a-kind designs that reflect the couple’s personality, theme, and colour scheme, from elegant and classic to modern and whimsical.” The finishing touch “Cocktail menus are a great way of elevating the experience for both the couple and their guests, while performing a practical task of informing guests of drinks on offer. They’re also an excellent way for the newlyweds to insert a little part of their personalities into the day, with cheeky drink titles or featuring the couples’ favourite or most meaningful signature drinks. Crafted with care and creativity, adding personalised cocktail menus also allows for a thematic or seasonal approach, incorporating the couple’s favourite flavours, colours, or even the wedding’s overall theme. “Coming in a variety of different sizes from mini little signs at A5 size, perfect for propping on the bar, to large A1 signs perfect for that wow-factor at bar entrances - these signs give couples flexibility for incorporating additional menus into their day. We have an extensive portfolio of more than 250 watercolour cocktails to create a bespoke showstopper cocktail menu: from classics such as an Old Fashioned, Espresso Martini and Peach Bellini to a far-flung speciality such as a Singapore Sling or Lychee Martini. “Fingerprint trees have emerged as a unique and interactive alternative to traditional guestbooks at weddings. Adding a personal touch to the celebrations, they offer a modern and creative twist instead of simply signing their names, guests leave their fingerprints on a designated treeshaped canvas. The fingerprint tree serves as a lasting memento of the big day, capturing who attended and transforming into a piece of art that the newlyweds can display and cherish for years to come. Each fingerprint tree is personalised with the couple’s names and wedding date and has their initials etched into the heart on the tree trunk. Couples can also choose from a large variety of different ink pads to match their fingerprint tree to their colour scheme. Fingerprint trees, with their visual appeal, are making them a popular choice for couples seeking a distinctive and personal wedding keepsake.” Visit www.ottie.co.uk | @ottiedesign Cocktail signs and fingerprint trees Calligraphy DE HAVILLAND MEMORIES, BESPOKE STATIONERY AND CALLIGRAPHY SERVICES, FLORRIE SAYS… About the company “de Havilland Memories is primarily a wedding stationery company, brought to you by me, Florrie Warrener.

There are so many ways to achieve this, but one of the most popular at the moment is to use calligraphy to elevate the experience for your guests. I’ve seen a big rise in requests for calligraphy, and it’s a trend that I don’t think will be going away anytime soon. As a professional calligrapher, I offer a variety of services from wedding gifts to on-theday services. Some of the most popular items being handwritten place cards which also double up as a bookmark for your guests to take home. Another personal favourite is to have each guest’s name written beautifully on their invitations which gives just an extra special touch.
