My first collaboration of 2020 came to be when the very lovely Natalie, of Natalie D Photography, approached me to produce some bespoke stationery to compliment her ideas.
I’m genuinely so thankful that she did! It was the start of our friendship - I adore Natalie!! She is beautiful inside and out and considering the short time we have known each other we often talk as if it’s been a friendship for years!! Not just lovely she is very talented! This story was Natalie’s concept and design and beautifully executed.
The shoot took place at Bradbourne house.
This gorgeous ‘country estate is set within 20 acres of beautiful parkland in the heart of Kent’. It’s stunning interior details and art collection providing the most perfect setting.
The tones involved, pale blues, lots of whites and very pale accents can sometimes feel cold; but with soft flowing dresses, bellowing sleeves and soft delicate florals the result was truly feminine and romantic!
With this design I wanted to produce a tactile suite. I hoped to show various textures and tones and give depth to each element. I combined hand made paper with cotton papers and used various print techniques such as gold foil, blind debossing and blind embossing.
The menus became an instant hit that they are now a permanent product!! The blind embossed detail has become such a favourite, whether paired with the exclusive menu wax seal, or another seal such as the ‘bride to be’ seal. This little detail is a beautiful addition to any stationery suite!
The table scape looks so very soft and feminine thanks to the soft silk drape on the table by Kate Cullen and of course those stunning florals by Kate Wren Flowers. The flowers not just kept to the centrepiece on the table, but also draped over the fireplace in the background.
The combination of soft blush roses and ranunculus with the trailing greenery gives such an elegant look.
The gold accents in the glassware, echoed by the gold touches on the stationery adds warmth and would look stunning in candlelight!
