Handmade by Zara Full Description
When I got married I knew I wanted bold and bright colours but I couldn’t find them, so the only thing I could do was make it myself! Here began the little idea of colourful, personalized wedding stationery. So from my studio near Dumfries I can provide a full suite of coordinating stationery in over 70 paper colours with 80 satin ribbon colours. You choose your fonts and wordings too! I’m all about the texture and luxurious feel of your wedding stationery complementing your special day! There are no set packages as everybody’s wedding is different so everybody’s stationery is different!
We don't even have to meet in person as I have everything set up to make it as easy as possible for you to get your wedding stationery organised! I can send you colour swatches and you'll get a hardcopy proof of your design once you've booked with me. 'Wedmin' done!

FAQs

Describe your style in 5 adjectives.
elegant, bold, luxurious, stylish, handmade
What about your business are you most proud of?
I'm most proud of the range of colours I can offer. You get to choose the colour combos! You can go bold and bright or classic and neutral; whatever represents your style best!
What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?
Contact your suppliers as early as possible! It's never too early to book.
Describe your typical process with a couple.
Once a couple have booked with me (to save a space in my production diary) I send them colour swatches. At this stage we don't need to know exact numbers or styles. Closer to the time when they need to send out their Save the Dates or Invitation we get organised and gather all the info together. I use Trello to do this. I provide a hardcopy proof in their exact colours and wordings to approve before I ask for any money. We then repeat the process for On the Day Stationery!
What is the most important piece of stationery for a wedding and why?
I think Invitations are the most important piece of wedding stationery as they set the tone for your special day. They are happy post for all your guests!
What is your best seller?
My AILSA pocketfold invitation is my most popular as it has lots of inserts to tell guests all that they need to know about your wedding!
How do you add romance to any wedding stationery you do?
I add romance to my stationery by allowing it to be fully personalised! By choosing the colour schemes, fonts and wordings it is a true reflection of the couples wedding day style!
