Isn't it wonderful when a lovely original idea comes together and someone does something beautiful, creative and refreshingly different? I have these lovely items pictured below in mind, that would lend themselves beautifully to styling a 'shabby chic' or vintage inspired wedding.
This charming collection of wedding day stationery and table decor has been created with love and using vintage fabrics and haberdashery items, by Stationer Vicky Trainor, as part of Vicky's new 'Vintage Drawer' collection…
"The seed was sown for this little collection one day whilst sorting through my secret hoarding of vintage linens. On one shelf, in a forgotten box, was my little sewing case that I made when I was only seven. I spent hours when I was younger, collecting and making things – some useful, some not so useful!
Using original vintage linens, we have recycled, loved, stitched and cared for each individual piece to bring a new precious creation that you will want to keep forever or pass down through time. Each product is made from vintage and retro haberdashery and linens and includes invitations, menus, place names, reception signs, table numbers and more.
We hope you fall in love with this little collection…"

"We were excited about creating a new range of vintage fabric and haberdashery based stationery that was so very different to our printed collections but still held on to the studio's passion for all that is vintage.
The style and trends of the vintage tea party, the make do and mend ethos and the pretty florals of the English country gardens has brought a wonderful eclectic mix over the last couple of years. We wanted to introduce a new twist for those in love with vintage as a source of inspiration for their day. That day may be a wedding, a birthday, a tea party, you may wish to send one of our products as a gift or a little treat for yourself such as a lavender pillow, a sewing case or a 'boudoir' sign to pin to your pretty armoire!"
