<p>In 2009 they were proud to have been commended by “Print Week” as Social Stationery Printer of the Year”. They were also winner of the VOWS Award (Voted Outstanding Wedding Stationery Supplier)</p>
<p>The look and luxurious tactile feel of an embossed or letterpress image into a thick high quality card, speaks for itself. These cards, mainly hand fed and printed in small runs are far different from the mass production of so many cards.  The finish and boards used really do have to be seen to appreciate their superb quality.  Whether <a href="http://www.weddinginvitationshop.co.uk/letterpress-wedding-invitations.html">letterpress</a>, thermography, engraving, diestamping, blind embossing, plate sinking or foil blocking,  you can be sure of exceptional quality wedding  invitations and stationery.  If you are confused about all of these printing techniques, and which to choose, we will be publishing a handy guide tomorrow with the help of Tim Honnor from Piccolo Press.</p>
<p>Piccolo Press offer an entirely bespoke service, so if you have an idea for a design, they will work with you to see your ideas transformed into beautiful wedding stationery.  Contact <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.piccolopress.co.uk" target="_blank">Piccolo Press</a> directly to find out more about how thay can help you to design your perfect wedding stationery.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Nothing makes your wedding  more personal than handwritten wedding invitations.  Why not make your wedding invitations stand out from the crowd and handwrite your invitations with beautifully romantic calligraphy.   From the wonderfully romantic copperplate style to classic italic and contemporary freestyle – calligraphy (which means ‘beautiful writing) can add a touch of romance and glamour to all your wedding stationery.   A great number of styles are available to suite every wedding theme – Roman capitals, copperplate, italic, gothic and antique – you can mix with beautiful ink colours to add real elegance to  your wedding day.  </p>
<p>Calligraphy works fantastically with <a href="http://www.weddinginvitationshop.co.uk/scroll-wedding-invitations.html">scroll wedding invitations</a> and <a href="http://www.weddinginvitationshop.co.uk/traditional-invitations.html">traditional wedding invitations</a> but you can choose some wonderful freestyle calligraphy to add sparkle to your <a href="http://www.weddinginvitationshop.co.uk/contemporary-invitations.html">contemporary wedding invitations</a> too. </p>
<p>If you are not the most creative writer you can get a professional calligrapher to write your invitations for you.  Claire Gould at <a href="http://www.wedding-calligrapher.com" rel="nofollow">www.wedding-calligrapher.com</a> has written thousands of place cards, envelopes and invitations, and hundreds of poems in calligraphy for all kinds of clients.  Take a look at some of her work below to see how you can add that ‘wow’ factor to your wedding stationery.<br />
