Tattoo Inspired Invitations by Veronica Dearly [Tattooed Bride Blog]

Today as part of Vendor Love, I bring you the beautiful work of Veronica Dearly.

From the fonts to the polka dots, I love the styling on Veronica’s work. 

I am Veronica Dearly and I have a small art and design studio just outside West London. Since creating a stationery suite for my own wedding last year, I’ve been working with couples to create bespoke invitations and paper goods for their weddings, and I’m now launching a range of invitation collections.

“I have always pursued painting & creativity, as an angsty schoolgirl I sold giant finger paintings of Kurt Cobain and then went onto paint portraits of couples and children. Recently I’ve favoured more illustrative work and graphic design and this has coincided nicely with my adventures in wedding stationery.

My style is heavily influenced by old school ink, I just love the bold, graphic lines and recognisable imagery – and whilst I don’t have my own tattoos (yet!) I am immortalised as a pin up on my husbands arm forever, which I totally dig. 

“Having searched the market furiously in the build-up to my own wedding I understand that it’s often difficult to find something that you totally love – which is why all my collections can easily be tailored to suit you and your wedding.
I also offer a fully bespoke service so if you want something inspired by your own ink, wild wedding theme or even pin up versions of you and your future intended – then I’m your girl!

“My prices start from £2 per invitation, all with the option of additional information cards, RSVP cards and pretty ribbons if you fancy it, and co-ordinating “on the day” paper goods are also available for each collection. My bespoke design fee for wedding invitations is £50.”

Aren’t they gorgeous designs? I do love the polkadots and the swallows! They’re Beautiful!

All Wrapped Up Celebrate Their First Birthday!

Colette and Kelly of All Wrapped Up Events have turned ONE this month!

 

After getting to know the duo the last few months, I can’t wait to celebrate with them! From hosting the most awesome Wedding Carnival ever in March to continually growing their fantastic business, they both deserve a party to celebrate all their achievements! 

“So before “us” there was just All Wrapped Up (Wedding planning) and Simply Covered (Chair Covers).. then in April we merged and in May 2011 we opened our little boutique and became a “WE”

Being best friends made the first year of the shop and business together a doddle.. yes we’ve had our ups and downs along the way.. but we have learnt a lot and also have grown into the company we wanted to be!

So to celebrate this we are having a P A R T Y!

Nothing too much, no dress code or glamour to be added… just us, you and a few cocktails!!”

 

I’ll be there! Come and celebrate this awesome  time with the girls. Plus – The Liars Club is a fantastic venue!
