The Winner Takes It All

Double congratulations to the new Mr and Mrs Wood. Bride Laura won the competition we participated in in last August's edition of Wedding Ideas Magazine. The prize was to have their entire table stationery suite custom made by BOYGIRLBOY and here are some of the many lovely photographs she has shared with us taken by photographer Nicky Chadwick.

The couple chose important years in their lives with which to name their tables cleverly choosing to collage photographs from those years on their table markers. Above you can see the front and reverse views of the years the couple were born and below, the year they got married - no prizes for guessing that that was the marker for the top table. We also created complementary menus and place cards and menus for the occasion.

Laura's prize also included matching framed table plan and guestbook frame, seen below in elegant ivory with a hand-painted reverse ivory profile.



                                                                       
                           As a special touch, my dragonfly design which featured on Laura's table stationery was also incorporated into the design of her cake as well. Below is a photograph of the magnificent 4-tier affair made by Julia at Freya's Fancies who were also a participant in the competition.

Laura said: "Thank you so much for the first class service which you have provided throughout. From winning the prize to delivery of the products you have been brilliant...I was so pleased with the final result when I received the products the day before the wedding. It was so wonderful to see everything, just as I had imagined it...the products were perfect and really made our wedding feel unique and special. It is so lovely that we will be able to keep the signing frame and table plan in their frames forever so that we can look back in the years to come and remember our wedding day. Our guests really loved the idea [of the personalised table name cards]and we were able to...include photographs of those who couldn't be with us so that they could be remembered on our special day. 

Your service has been amazing, faultless and I could not have wished for anything more. You really listened to my ideas and brought them to life for our wedding day. I would highly recommend you to anyone without a doubt."

I thank you both for these kind words and wish you every success and happiness in your future lives together.


New York State of Mind

Congratulations to newlyweds Emma & Daniel who married in Northampton in August. Here is the their table plan finished with a matt, swept frame. For their table names, they chose famous locations in New York. We hope they had a wonderful day and wish them every happiness in their future lives together.

A Blast From The Past













































Thanks to Lucy and Paul for this picture of their table plan hanging in the study of their new home in Wandsworth where, happily, they have just celebrated the arrival of twins boys. They were married in May 2010 and were my very first customers. 

Something Kinda Oooh!



Hearty congratulations to Paula and James who married in Birmingham in June. Here is a photograph of the table plan we created for their big day. It was one of our larger projects - 17 tables - each named after the hits of Girls Aloud who are the bride's favourite band. I've received some nice feedback from Paula who left a message to say: 

"Thank you so much. Our table plan was amazing! You were also great with my last minute changes!! We love it that much it's hanging in our house".

We hope they had a magical day and with them every happiness in their future together.
