The Design of Debbie & Dave's Wedding day


It was a bright autumn day at Pittodrie House
With a beautiful view over Mountain Bennachie.
My job in designing for Debbie & Dave's big day was to give the venue a vintage feel.
Included in the decoration of Pittodrie House
were my Handmade jars with unique quotes individually typed up using my Grandfathers old typewriter.
Each piece of Fabric used on my jars are sourced second hand, adding to the vintage feel.







The threads on each label were customised to Debbie's wedding colour which was a gorgeous pink.
Also included in the decoration of the venue was my handmade Doilly bunting which hung in the Billiard room along with my heart cut outs pictured below.








The room where the ceremony was taking place had to be extra special so I adorned my birdcage with flowers and decorated the tables with some of the beautiful flowers which were designed by Mairi.
she owns a beautiful shop called Flourish in Aberdeen.
You should check out her website as she hires out stunning vintage china and arranged all of Debbie's flowers which were truly beautiful

So I think a congratulations is in order for the new Bride and Groom and I hope you had a perfect day.

Unique Wedding Gift

There is alot of pressure at wedding's especially if its someone close to you that is tying the knot.
For me that person was my big sister.
Been through everything together she is my best friend in the whole world and have her to thank for my ambition and determination in life.
It was important to make her wedding The most personal day ever.
I wanted to get creative.
I was giving the "Maid of Honour" speech so when writing my cue cards I wrote them on really tactile paper and then
typed a personal message on the front that only she and I could relate too using my Grandpas old typewriter.
 Then using a sewing machine embroidered that with some fabric onto the cue cards.
This could then be framed and sent as a gift on a later date or as part of a Wedding present.
The one I done for my sister is below.
