UNIQUE & INSPIRING DESIGNS & DECALS TO PERSONALISE YOUR DAY

Nineteen is a design studio and shop run by two talented sisters, shop owners and designers, Victoria and Becky Saunders.

They design and create decorative and graphical decals for adhering to any smooth surface. For weddings, they design and create bespoke wedding stationery, signage and our unique vintage window table plans and order of service using decals.

Their designs include original illustrations and hand lettering, making their style whimsical and romantic. They say "We use a soft palette of colours and find our inspiration often comes from our love of botanics."

The sisters are working in collaboration with florist Stephanie Eastwood floral design to dress their signature vintage window table plans with beautiful foliage and flowers to make them come to life. Often displayed on an easel, their window table plans can work both inside and out at any wedding, making a great bespoke feature, essential for your wedding day.

Not only do they sell beautiful pieces in their shop, they also run inspiring workshops with a real difference.

RUBY & THE WOLF - STUNNING NATURAL FLOWERS THAT ARE A LITTLE BIT WILD!

When Kirstie Deane founded Ruby & The Wolf in 2013, she wanted to offer something a little bit different with an unrivalled focus on design and an eye for detail. Her company name reflects her style - natural and elegant with a twist.

Kirstie has built up great relationships with local British flower farmers, scours the local flower markets and forages surrounding woodlands to find the perfect blooms for your day. Her promise to you is that your wedding will have her undivided love and attention and she will ensure everything looks perfect down to the perfect silk ribbon for your bouquet or the tiniest gesture of a flower to bring a centrepiece to life.

Ruby & the Wolf can offer a full venue-styling service including developing colour palettes and mood boards, or an off-the-peg service for brides on a budget or wanting Kirstie's unique style but don't need a full consultation or design service.

Oh - and if you can't wait for your wedding day, show Kirstie's website and blog to your partner and hopefully they'll take the hint and order one of her beautiful Valentine's posies!
