SAUNDERS CREATIVE - DECALS, TABLE PLANS & SIGNS DESIGNED SPECIFICALLY FOR YOU!

I recently popped along to The Little Wedding Space where I was incredibly excited to see the work of Saunders Creative.  Becky & Victoria Saunders are two talented ladies who offer a bespoke service specifically designed for your wedding day.  They can design table numbers and plans, the order of service, signs, decorations and more. Excitingly, their decals can be 100% bespoke and their designs include hand drawn illustrations.  

Using a mixture of illustration, hand-lettering and computers they generate the designs which they then hand finish and prepare into decals.  

The design is then scanned into a computer where the artwork is generated ready to plot the designs using a vinyl cutter.  The pair can work in a vinyl with matt, metallic or a frosted finish to give an artisan feel.

Then it's simply a case of revealing the adhesive side of the vinyl, placing it on your chosen surface, smoothing over the front and finally removing the protective paper.   After which ... step back and admire your own personal artwork. Although the process sounds technical, the final stage couldn't be simpler and the result is something totally personal to you, and really easy to use. 

I've already ordered a decal for my home!  At the fair, they will be showcasing a selection of set designs which are already adhered to a collection of beautiful vintage windows which can be hired out.  If you want something truly unique and extra special come and talk to these ladies at our fair and I think you'll be hooked!

Moomie Swan

Bristol Vintage are delighted to present the artist behind our all new 2014 wedding fair poster… Moomie Swan.

Bristol Vintage's Ali Cook says: "I'd seen Moomie's artwork before and loved it and I just felt she had a great style.  I knew I wanted a romantic flowing feel for this year's poster and I was so thrilled when she sent me her first sketches as it was exactly the style I'd had in my head". 

Moomie was really excited when we asked her to create our poster: "I'm a big fan of vintage fashion and early 20th century illustration styles and I knew this would be the perfect project to incorporate both these influences."

Choosing to go with a 20's feel for the drawing and art deco inspired text, Moomie said, "as it's a wedding fair, I really wanted to capture a sense of joy and excitement." She experimented with some sketches of a couple dancing, but eventually settled on the groom lifting up the bride to throw her bouquet as it seemed the most iconic symbol of newly wed joy.

As well as designing posters and cards, Moomie makes beautiful origami decorations which she sells at craft fairs... 

…and illustrates books. She's currently preparing for Christmas, but you can find out more on her blog and don't forget to pop back here soon for the 2014 poster reveal!
