Wedding Wednesday

I've had loads of work on this last couple of weeks so I apologise for not blogging on a regular basis again, it's a good job that I really love my work :) Before I post my wedding work for this month I'm going to have a moan about some of the stationery companies around at the moment.

I would like to say that if you start a wedding stationery business and you build yourself a web site, please, please, please get someone to proof read it for you or if you don't have anyone to do it then for goodness sake use a spell checker! The amount of 'companies' who, when advertising what they do write 'wedding stationAry' instead of 'stationerEry' is amazing. Hopefully you will be part of a young (or not so young) couple's wedding day which is probably the biggest task they have ever undertaken. The last thing they want is to open their stationery order to find that it's all spelt wrongly. Another big, big mistake I have seen on the front of so many hand crafted greeting cards the abbreviated spelling of YOU ARE. It is not (for example) 'YOUR having a baby', you are joining the two words together and in order to do that you need to use the apostrophe to replace the letter which you are removing so therefore the word would be  YOU'RE as you are taking out the 'A'.

Another thing which 'bugs'me is presenting shoddy work at live events such as wedding fayres. Every now and again I visit a wedding fayre just to see what the 'opposition' is up to and I've found that by talking to the people who own bridal boutiques they will tell you what colours are in fashion and what people are ordering for the next year even. It was at a small wedding fayre a couple of years ago that I was handed a little organza bag with a single sugared almond in it, it also contained a business card and a badly folded leaflet outlining their business and this....

Not a very good business advert in my opinion, but there you go, rant over :)!

So what have I been up to....

 

Further seating plans can be seen on my web site at Party Nights Creations .co.uk (all in lower case) or on my Facebook page

 

 This is such a pretty wallet. The camera hasn't picked up the glitter on it but you might be able to see it better on the next picture, I just changed the ribbon from white to navy blue to suit the couple's wedding colours. They are getting married in January next year and this pocket fits in with their snowy theme perfectly. It really is so pretty.

another hotel wedding.

Right, I'm making 83 place cards so I'm off now till tomorrow, thanks for dropping by, I would love for you to leave me a comment  :)
Thank you. x

Sunday!!!

It's ok, I do know it's Tuesday but I'm up to Sunday with my posts so I'm getting there :) as I showed the card yesterday which was made for the couple who got married on Saturday I thought I'd show the stuff I made as part of the wedding package.

 This photo isn't brilliant but I couldn't go and take another as one of the hotel banqueting staff took them for me and they don't stand out very well on the table. The name labels are attached to small organza bags which contain two heart shaped chocolate in ivory foils and they can then be used as place cards.

Thanks for dropping by :) xx

Congratulations

It's been a really strange day today regarding the weather. When the sun has been out it has been lovely and warm and (obviously) bright, however as the clouds drifted across not only did it get chilly but it was as though someone had flicked a switch...it got quite dark. Luckily we had a bit more sun than cloud and it is supposed to be getting warmer again this week.

It's the turn of the wedding cards to hit the blog today as I've managed to get a couple done for the stand over the last few days in between orders.

Papers used are by Stampin Up and they are gorgeous!

 Papers again by Stampin Up and the image is a stamp by Elzybells

 I have no idea where this image came from apart from it was half of a decoupage sheet bought a couple of years ago!! Cute though :)

 

That's all for now......it's past my bed time ;)
Thanks for stopping by and tomorrow it will be blog catch up time.
Take care
