Why Modern Vintage Stationery?
My story
Inspired by the love stories of old, I was drawn to the romance of calligraphy at a young age. Leafing through my motherβs calligraphy magazines was one of my favourite pastimes. I rekindled this passion in 2021 and have lovingly crafted wedding stationery for couples ever since.
I am proud to create beautiful, custom wedding stationery, crafted to suit each coupleβs tastes and needs. I enjoy the delicate details of the vintage era and blending these with modern typography, styling and materials.
Colours, textures, fonts and materials are so important and tell a distinct story that is unique to their love story. Thatβs why I only work with a select number of couples each year, to ensure I can spend months (and even years!) before the big day, working closely with them to perfect every detail.
Custom wedding stationery from London, with love
Based from my home studio in South London, I work with couples throughout London and surrounding areas, including Surrey and Essex. I love to hand-deliver your stationery if your venue is close by. I can also set up on-the-day if you would like, so you can be assured all the details will be styled to perfection.
I also welcome working with couples across the UK and beyond.

A little bit more about me:
My No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples:
Allocate pockets of time throughout the day where itβs just you & your partner. No photographers, bridal squad or interference. Always make sure your wedding is about you & your other half, creating a wonderful everlasting moment.
My Passions:
I absolutely love Comedy TV: Big Bang Theory, Brooklyn Nine Nine (ended terribly I thought though!) & Modern Family.
I am a qualified teacher with over 15 years experience! My favourite ages to teach are Nursery & Reception- no two days are ever the same!
I am a HUGE Disney fan and have been to Disneyland/World 5 times already. You can never have enough Disney in your life. My ultimate dream would be to create stationery for a Disney themed wedding.
Journaling: I spend my Sunday mornings journaling my week. You will always catch glimpses of this on my Instagram page. I love it too much not to share!
My most memorable wedding:
My first one! I designed & created a bespoke sign for the bride, in honour of her late Grandfather who passed before her wedding. It meant so much to me as I had always wished my grandfather to be present for mine,
My most important piece of stationery for a wedding and why:
Table plan. Everyone loves to have a designated seat!
My most memorable wedding piece:
The most memorable piece of wedding stationery I have made was a bespoke sign for the bride in honour of her late Grandfather. He had sadly passed away before her wedding day, so it meant the world to me to help ensure a part of him was there with her.
You will often find me Instagram scrolling throughβ¦
Bunny Instagram pages: Iβm a sucker for those wiggly noses and floppy ears. Iβve had a few live cage free with me in my lifetime, my most recent was my good boy Alfie, who lived to the grand old age of 12.
