I’m a stationery lover, obsessed with paper and to me the invitation for my wedding had to really set the tone. I wanted people to get excited when they saw it and it really upsets me when people don’t care about their paper goods. Sadly they’re often expensive so get cut in the great budget debate but the invitation not only heralds the day, they are often kept in photo albums alongside the photos as a memento so I really think it’s worth taking the time to get them right.

Sadly, as it seems with everything (although we’re working really hard to change that!) The US leads the way in terms of quirky cool and beautiful stationery and letterpress is a huge trend right now but this quirky and super pretty company Emma Jo popped into my inbox a couple of weeks back and I just had to share.

Chloe

*Save the Date, Invitation and RSVP card, all part of the Chloe range.

Emma Jo create letterpress stationary with whimsical designs and vintage flair. The Chloe range (above) is prettily Victorian in it’s style and flourishes, lending elegance to your announcement and would suit a very classic English Wedding.

Victoria

*Save the Date, and Invitation, all part of the Victoria range.

The Victoria range draws on the romance of Victoria and Albert using classic silhouettes as were popular in the era. Simple and elegant, it reminds me of an Austen novel and would be perfectly suited to a thoroughly modern millie who’s finally found her Mr Darcy and is planning a country house wedding in the heady summer months.

Olivia

Another design with a Vintage Victorian flair is the statement Olivia. Using a range of diverse typography from the same era, this is a quirky addition to a wedding full of uniquely styled touches, perfect for a city pub wedding.

*Save the Date, Invitation and RSVP card, all part of the Rosalind range and Invitation (middle) from the Olivia collection.

Similarly simple in it’s elegance is the Rosalind collection, using the couples name and scrolling font to keep it chic with modern stripes to update the look.

Perfectly Pretty in Every Way

And my personal favourite? Esme…

*Save the Date, Invitation and menu card, all part of the Esme range.

Always a fan of the floral, combined with these preppy stripes I’m in stationery heaven and wish I’d found Emma Jo before my wedding. Make sure you head over to the site to check out the full range and show her some Rock My Wedding love .

Are you planning on making stationery a priority in your plans and which of these pretty paper treats tickles your fancy?

Yours Truly,

Rebecca
