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.

New York Times best-selling author Reuben Holmes, aka R.H. Sin, tells it like it is. His poetry – bold, inspiring, and unapologetic – has caught social media by storm, thanks to his feminist approach.

https://www.instagram.com/p/B6bB2BLpjGM/

“My words are what I would say to my sister, my mother, or the women I want to protect,” he explained in an interview with the Newyorker. “Even after being hurt by a woman in the past, I understood where it came from and why she was the way she was as soon as I met her father, the man who had broken her heart long before she’d even known me.” 

Based in New York, Holmes had amassed close to 2 million followers on Instagram – an epic achievement by any standard. But his road to fame actually started on a different platform – Twitter. Having made his account in 2014, he began sharing epigrams and short, satirical poems made specifically for social media. Using Twitter first taught him how to say less while packing a punch. Now, his goal is to write 7,222 words per day.

“I came into 2016 with 251,018 followers,” he shared with the Newyorker. “I entered 2017 with 515,164. I am a workhorse. I think a lot of people in my industry are content with the ‘struggling artist’ ideology. I’m not. On any given day, my account brings in 600,000 to one million ‘likes.’ The object is to be seen or heard, and I make a lot of noise.”

“Your account should be growing, you should also be growing,” he stressed. “Evolving is the point. People bulls**t in our niche, they say follower count doesn’t matter but how in the hell do you expect to reach this generation if they’re not following you in some form or capacity?”

Join the hype.

Los Angeles based poet and songwriter Pavana Reddy didn’t really imagine that other people would be interested in what she had to say. “When I first started sharing my work online, I wasn’t very serious about it and I really just wanted an outlet for the things I was too afraid to say,” she told Isaase.

https://www.instagram.com/p/B3SiEUTjkkL/

Now, years later and with more than 80k dedicated followers on Instagram, her words are inspiring others, both on and off-screen. “I’m not made of the kind of earth that buries,” reads one of her verses, “I’m made from the kind that resurrects.”

Her short, Instagramable, poetry is the kind that lingers on long after you first read it. “My poetry is very much a reflection of who I am,” says Reddy. “I started writing as a kid, simply as a way to verbalize feelings I didn’t know how to talk about – and while my writing has definitely improved since – I still write for the same reasons.”

“The greatest creators in the world are still in high school,” she adds, “we should be learning from them. One of the most frustrating parts of school for me was believing there was something wrong with my feelings because the adults I spoke to couldn’t relate, and I believe that’s one of the main reasons why kids don’t feel comfortable speaking up for themselves. Listening is key.”

Alexandra Elle’s Instagram page is a community propelling self-love and empathy. Living in Washington DC, the author and wellness consultant shares weekly reminders to be happy and grateful. Her uplifting messages are carried through small notes that she photographs and shares with her many followers.

“I still feel vulnerable when I share my writing,” she admitted in an interview with Create & Cultivate. “It’s my heart’s work. I think vulnerability is good, so I lean into it. People relate to authenticity and I truly believe that being vulnerable helps amplify that.”

“The highlight of my career has been building a community near and far, in person and online,” she added. “It blows my mind how writing, storying telling, and standing in comradery can shift the dynamics of sisterhood and self-love in such a positive way, time and time again.”

Elle also promotes her teachings through workshops and retreats centered around assisting others in finding their voices through storytelling, poetry, and narrative writing rooted in truth without shame.

I discovered that love is freedom, and not rooted in fear or hostility, after spending a lot of time nurturing dysfunctional relationships. Learning that not all dysfunction and emotional manipulation is dressed in aggressive, or harsh behavior, was an interesting learning curve too. I went from men who were straight up mean to me, to men who were "nice enough" but extremely passive-aggressive and emotionally unsafe. For years my self-worth was wrapped up in longing for the people I dated to be what they weren't: truly into me. I settled, I feared, I had unhealthy attachment issues (especially with the ones who used being "nice" as a ploy/distraction), I bent, I broke, I chased, I did all the things that ultimately drove me emotionally insane. It wasn't until my last situation-ship at the end of 2012 that realized 3 game-changing things: 1. I was wasting my time, and I needed to stop trying to make something out of nothing. Because accountability matters. 2. Dysfunction isn't love, no matter what package it's wrapped in. "Oh, but they're nice" or "Oh, he means well and is a good guy" ( just because they weren't cussing me out or being blatanlty disrespectful) was my favorite line. Trickery is real, but recognizing unhealthy patterns for what they are is realer. 3. Self-love had to be my best friend, 6 years ago, it wasn't. It wasn't anyone's job to love me but mine. . . Over the years, I've had to intentionally choose myself. I've had to radically love myself in order to be in a relationship, and friendships, that were healthy. I had to stop making excuses and thinking that love meant suffering and emotional abuse. I had to take control of my freedom, it had to start with me.
