Gorgeous Wedding at Delamore Lodge, Waiheke Island, New Zealand

Gorgeous Wedding at Delamore Lodge, Waiheke Island

Its lovely to be able to put faces to clients, and here there is a wonderful opportunity to see how even stationary can lend a beautiful atmosphere to a fantastic wedding. What a setting! New Zealand is not your usual choice, but a great one, especially for outside pictures, and a nice sunny day. Its fun to see stationery used in such decorative ways, adding content and flavour to an already fabulous wedding.

Davida and Chris’ wedding was held at Delamore Lodge in New Zealand.

The stunning attire of the guests, the many little beautiful touches that Davida made herself, and the wonderful location of Delamore Lodge over-seeing a small harbour of boats bobbing up and down on the swell. A perfect Waiheke day with enough of a breeze to take the edge off the summer heat, which could have made it a difficult day.

Check out some of the stunning photographs taken by Emma Hughes, involving our lovely laser cut butterflies. You can see other work Emma has done at www.emmahughes.co.nz

Davida chose our Butterfly design on alabaster card, with a raspberry inlay, and a diamante finish. She used our butterfly mobile decorations, which were used to decorate the venue and floral arrangements.

You can purchase the mobile decorations HERE

You must check out this site if you are in need of some serious wedding inspiration, Alexis manages to pick the best of the best to give you loads of lovely ideas for your big day!

Grab yourself a coffee..sit down and have a browse through the site.

"I have spent a considerable amount of time over the course of my life drooling over stationery. I can’t help it and I blame it on my mother. I love paper, I love typography, I love colour and I love shapes. I think wedding stationery is no different. How I managed to get a save the date out the door and to the printers, I have no idea, but I definitely looked at LOADS of inspiration.

Enter the amazing laser cutting duo Sally-Ann and Suzi of the Hummingbird Card Company. With backgrounds in fashion and textile design, these ladies have mastered the art of creating beautifully crafted lasercut wedding stationery pieces, be it invitations, name cards or decor.

Not only do they do laser cutting to perfection, but Hummingbird Cards have now also launched the Silhouette Collection, their new printed wedding stationery. Still with their characteristically vintage feel designs, they have added romantic and quirky quotes which can be personalised and customised in many ways".
