An Alternative Idea for Placecards, for a 60's themed Wedding....

Kate came into the studio clutching some leaves, some dresses and some rather funky VW camper vans....

The camper vans and the dresses were for the kids.....

And the leaves....over 100 of them,
were for the adults.....


Each one was pierced on the end so that the stalk

of the plastic apple, which Kate provided, would fit through.


Not only unique and different but rather cute to I think! :o)

Butterfly Themed, Foiled Wedding Stationery

I love designing Wedding Invitations for my brides....I love it even more when they choose foil over normal printing. It gives the invite that little bit of extra luxury!

Karen came to see me and decided that she wanted something VERy plain, but eye catching...we decided on this...


However, with the long ascenders of the 'h' and 'd' of Richard, the design looked a little, shall we say 'unbalanced!'.

So, we rethought it and decided to add a butterfly to her theme and she was delighted to run with it.... MUCH BETTER!


For the month of January and right through to Valentine's Day, I'm offering FREE R.S.V.P. cards to match the stationery and Karen asked me to add a little card with a discrete message asking for money in preference to gifts if possible.



Many Brides feel uncomfortable asking for money, but quite honestly, with so many people either living together first or already on their second marriages, I very much doubt that anyone is offended these days.


Fuchsia Pink seems to be a popular colour for brides these days. It's been a best seller for the last 3 years now. I'm wondering what the trend will be this year?


Fortunately, we in the UK are getting braver and braver with our choices and at last we are edging away from the traditional and daring to be different, making each wedding more personal to the Bride and Groom.

From a personal point of view, this makes my job all the more interesting and I'm not only fascinated by the creativity, but happy to be a part of it.


together we make a great team! :o)

Vintage, Personalised Order of Service and Menus

One of the last things to have made for any Wedding Order is the Menus and Order of Service. This is more to do with the actual numbers than lack of forward planning from the Bride and Groom.


These were made to match the Hand Made Vintage Wedding Stationery seen on this post


The extra border on the left hand side was to allow for the sage green ribbon that was to be provided by the Bride.

I worked closely with this Bride to give her exactly what she wanted. so the images apart from the calligraphy were provided by her :o)

Plans for North Yorkshire Weddings in 2012

Already we're half way through the start of the first month of 2012 and we've already attended our first wedding!

I'm already planning changes and additions to the Wedding Website and Blog for the coming year.

I'm hoping to add guest blog posts from suppliers and companies in the North Yorkshire area.
We also plan to add feature articles of helpful hints and tips for the Bride and Groom to be.
We're also working on new and exciting ideas for Brides to be, from Wedding Stationery to novel ideas for accessories.

Hopefully, by staying more focused, the blog and website will build into a one stop shop for local businesses to connect with Brides and Grooms and for Brides and Grooms to find the things that they are looking for in the North Yorkshire area.

Although many of our suppliers are not area sensitive, it's good for our clients to find someone close to hand, who can deliver what they need and want.

I'm appealing to anyone who wants to either be featured on this blog and site and perhaps write up a post or two, to advertise and promote their business to get in touch with me (Sue Simpson) inspiredbyscript@yahoo.co.uk

Brides to be... if you have any questions or are finding it difficult to locate an item to add to your special day, also feel free to get in touch and I'll see how I can help you.

The mission of the suppliers advertised and featured on this blog and website is to make your special day perfect and all your dreams come true.

Inspired by Script is the parent company and main calligraphy and Lettering art business of me, Sue Simpson.
North Yorkshire Weddings is simply a website devoted to Weddings, which will make it easier for Brides to find what they want. So we are one and the same... just to clear up any misunderstandings :o)

We're looking forward to sharing the year ahead with you all.
Here's the second glass of the year being raised to both suppliers and our happy couples.
May your year be blessed.

Hand Made, Bespoke, Wedding Album and Guest Books

Hand Made, Bespoke, Wedding Album and Guest Books.

Made to order in ANY choice of colours
I love making Wedding Albums and Guest Books to match the colour theme of the Wedding. These were made for David and Hannah in Soft Moss Greens and Black.

The larger photo album is about 30cm x 40cm




The guest books are around 21cm x 15cm.

Because each one is made to order can contain as many or as few pages....depending on your needs

For further details of bespoke Wedding albums and Guest Books, email me (Sue Simspon) at: inspiredbyscript@yahoo.co.uk

A great idea, combining the invitation and envelope....all in one.


This was a bespoke design for a client


with a vintage themed wedding


The black and white theme of this card is clean, crisp and clear. The invite is folded and secured with double sided tape, which then doubles as the envelope too.

Making a Fascinator



I found this great video on Youtube on how to make a fascinator. I wish I had seen this before I paid an extortionate amount of money for one. It's certainly worth a try! Let me know how you get on! :o)
