Lake District mountains!
Mountains and lakes are some of my favourite subjects to illustrate so when combined with wedding stationery it's the perfect match! Here's a little look at some mountain themed 'on the day' designs I created for Grace and Daniels Lake district wedding...
Order of Service
Probably my most loved stationery item to create. Wedding order of service booklets. A gorgeous way to take your guests through you wedding ceremony; and with each page customisable you can make it completely your own and personalise it how you like. Grace and Dan decided to go for a blue and orange mountain cover with mountainous borders throughout. Order of the service, bible readings, songs, bridal party and a message of thanks was all included in the booklet. Makes a lovely keepsake too!
Table Decor
A rustic barn style wedding in the heart of the Lakes, surrounded by beautiful mountains and greenery. Of course wooden mountain table names fit in so well on their wedding tables. Each snowy topped mountain named after one of the couples favourite hikes to add a personal touch to their decor. Grey slate name places are another popular pick. Every guest name hand lettered in white on a lovely natural piece of slate, adding to the rustic feel. The mini mountains along side the grey slate name places this table decor looked the dream in this styled barn.
Signage
Everyone loves some rustic wedding signage! Handcrafted wooden pallet boards finished with varnish worked so well for the base of some hand lettered signs. A simple welcome sign that stood out to greet their guests to the wedding barn. Signs look great on easels (lots of venues provide these for couples) with some foliage to finish the look - like this eucalyptus.
Grace and Dan also ordered a few bespoke signs for inside the venue. Chalk boards are a great way to display information, quotes, verses, menus etc inside your venue. The white lettering always stands out beautifully on the black backdrop. I loved lettering some of their favourite quotes for them...I particularly like the sign with 'I love you to the mountains and back' and the illustration - a great addition to the themed decor. Finally another lovely pallet sign with their names and photographs of the couple on some adventures. Another personal touch propped up on a rustic barrel against the stone wall.
I loved designing some stationery for a rustic barn wedding in the Lakes. If you'd like to see more of ICillustrations designs, check out the wedding section on my website...
Here's what Grace and Dan had to say about their Stationery...
"Iona did such an amazing job on our wedding stationery. You can tell that Iona has a real gift when it comes to artistic design and attention to detail in creating the perfect products. We loved how she made us feel involved in the whole process, really listening to what we wanted as well as adding her own ideas and insight to create something even better than we expected. Her enthusiasm and hard work allows you to relax during the stressful time of planning a wedding. We received a lot of compliments from our guests on how beautiful the order of services were. We would highly recommend hiring Iona for your wedding stationery."
Maybe some of these 'on the day' ideas have given you some inspo for your own wedding! If so please do get in touch I'd love to have a chat with you.
