Introducing The Millie Suite

Meet darling Millie! The Millie invitation suite is a beautiful calligraphy inspired suite with just the right amount of flourish and ornament. Classic and romantic, this suite is both timelessly elegant and delightfully decadent, the perfect partner for a wedding swathed in roses, layers of lace and dancing well into the night. The perfect suite for both a classy city soiree or an intimate country church wedding.

Millie starts at £2.90 for a luxury digitally printed invitation and £3.40 for letterpress foil invitation, both including envelopes. You can order Millie as a complete suite from save the dates right through to your menus and seating plan or mix and match as you require. We're also so happy to create any additional matching items you may desire. Get in touch here for a quote.

Romantic & Elegant Cambridge Wedding Shoot on Love My Dress

Belgian photographer Anaïs Stoelen, who has a personal love and passion for English romantic literature and poetry, recently got in touch about a styled shoot she was putting together with Kelly Spence of Kelly Spence Bridal Accessories in the idyllic and historic setting of Cambridge and its surroundings. They sent me their beautiful moodboard for the shoot and asked for some romantic and elegant book inspired stationery. Delighted to now see this beautiful shoot featured on Love My Dress today!

‘A lady’s imagination is very rapid; it jumps from admiration to love, from love to matrimony in a moment.’ (Jane Austen)

Here are a few of my favourite details from the shoot. I absolutely love the scabiosa and the hints of blue in the china against the powdery leaves of the apple trees.

Thank you Anais and Kelly for inviting me to be a part of this absolutely stunning shoot. And thank you Annabel for the lovely feature.
