SAY IT WITH WORDS Meet the expert: Lauren Daisy creates beautiful bespoke wedding stationery from her studio in Witney, Oxfordshire. We want to design our wedding stationery, can you help? Lauren says: Going bespoke and telling a story through your wedding stationery is something I strive for in my business. I believe that your wedding should represent you both as an individual and as a couple. A great way to do this is to set the tone with your stationery showing your bespoke design and hinting to your guests about what’s to come. This isn’t a process that can happen overnight, I recommended that once you have booked your venue and secured the date, you should then book your stationery supplier. I work with my couples more than four to eight weeks in advance to complete a bespoke stationery suite. This includes: A zoom call or a meet-up to discuss ideas and thoughts and create a mood board. My designing time as I hand-draw all my illustrations on my iPad. Couples will then have the opportunity to make any changes to the text, font or even the design itself. Once the couple is happy, their design will go to print. I’ll receive the print items back and add finishing touches to them, this may be a wax seal, ribbon or simply assembling them.

Why hire an on-the-day wedding coordinator? Jessica says: It’s the day of your wedding and you’ve got 120 table settings to put out, the DJ can’t find the venue and you’ve left something important at home. Weddings can be stressful. You should be enjoying the best day of your life, not remembering who ordered the vegetarian or vegan option or where you put the cake knife (you did bring the cake knife, right?) A wedding coordinator is the ultimate wedding hack - ensuring your perfect day runs perfectly and that the inevitable stresses of planning, supplier coordination and getting your loved ones happily together in the same room sit firmly behind the scenes. Treat yourself to an early wedding present and start your happily ever after today.
