When it comes to wedding planning, invitations are arguably the icing on the cake. A preface to your wedding theme, your invitations should provide a sneak peek of what’s to be expected. But it can also make space for creative thinking. Enter Emma Fisher.

A wedding stationer, she runs Blush & Blossom, a design studio based in Leeds, Yorkshire. But you don’t actually have to be a citizen of the UK to order her original designs. Her studio offers a variety of house collections that include boho, vintage and rustic themes. Each is available for customization depending on your specific needs.

“I’d hate to think that print and stationery is dying out as it’s so magical to create designs, have these printed and have something tactile to hold and cherish forever,” Fisher shared with Printed. “I believe there is still a strong desire for printed stationery and my clients are keeping me busy, so that must be a sign!”

Amongst Blush & Blossom’s more unique designs are DIY “Save the Date” tipis. “We are having a tipi wedding in the Lake District, so after doing a bit of research and various designs, that’s when the pop-up tipi came to life,” explained Fisher. “I love quirky designs and a lot of color, and I also wanted something that people will remember and have some fun with.”

It might be the melancholic weather that’s got us feeling a bit nostalgic, but lately, we’ve become enthralled with the notion of reviving the lost art of letter writing. Because God knows, there’s nothing more exhilarating than discovering a handwritten letter in your mailbox (written just for you!).

Luckily, the Sleepy Bee Studio has got us covered when it comes to stationery. Run by husband and wife team, Gavin and Charlie, the studio offers a range of stationery products, all lovingly handmade with high-quality materials. These aren’t just papers and notepads. They’re beautiful keepsakes meant to be cherished and admired.

Their unique range also includes illustrated tissue paper that’s printed using soy ink, as well as self-adhesive wax seals that add a lovely finish. Their gift sets even come with little handmade faux-leather envelope pencil pouches, so you know you’re covered.

According to Charlie (who goes only by her first name), though our world is very much digital, there is still room for tactile experiences. “I’ve asked a lot of people to recall the last time they sent or received a lovely handwritten letter,” she said in an interview with the Printed blog.

“Hardly anyone could remember. There’s no getting away from the ease of an email, but I really hope that by selling these products I can get as many people as possible taking a little time out of their day to correspond to a friend or loved one with a letter.”

Take a look at some of their nostalgic designs in the gallery below.

Menw Hurkens’ collection of paper ephemera is to die for. Obsessed with anything paper-related, including postcards, stickers, and washi tape, her collection will inspire you to handcraft a greeting card this holiday season.

“Creativity comes from a long way back and has developed throughout the years in an always present character trait,” Hurkens shared with Surely Simple. “As a kid, I was always busy collecting things, wooden boxes, postage stamps, poetry illustrations, books, paper, but also ladybugs or tadpoles.”

“Some of my favorite things to do is decorating envelopes, making flipbooks and collages and write letters,” she went on to say. “I seriously get happy by unpacking mail and discover a little bit of the world from the person behind it.”

Based in Maastricht, Hurkens works as a project manager at the University of Maastricht. But she also sells bits and pieces from her vintage paper collection at her online Etsy shop.

We admit we have a soft spot for typography. Our latest crush? Letterer Lauren Hom. Her Instagram page is all the letter-inspiration we need and crave. From cards to murals, Hom’s skill shines bright.

So much so that she’s attracted clients like Starbucks, Google, AT&T, YouTube, TIME Magazine, and Microsoft, amongst others.

“I find that I’m happiest when creating; so, when I’m not working, you can find me—HAHA just kidding when am I not kind of working on something?” she admits on her website.

But not all letters are equal to this keen letterer. “My least favorite letter to draw is probably K,” she told Dumb Questions. “I’ve been lettering for four years and they still bamboozle me all the time. I don’t know if I have disdain for any other letter form in that same way. K’s can suck it.”

When you’re doing a creative job, it’s important to keep the creative juices flowing. Different method work for different people and Pavel Nekoranec has found his own recipe.

“I started using my Instagram to practice and train my creativity and imagination. Every week I’m trying to find some free time to create some quick graphics or artwork, with no restrictions, or requirements,” Pavel says.

He first started doing this in March 2017 and finished the whole alphabet in June 2018. He took his time and just drew what felt natural. Below are some of the letters. Check out more on his Instagram page.
