Emma…
Tell us a bit about your business…
I design stationery for couples who like something a bit different! I have a range of existing designs that can be altered to suit their wedding colours and wording. I spend most of my time working on the illustrated designs. This can be anything the couple wants! From an illustrated portrait, pets, flowers, wedding venue and their favourite things in life…literally anything!
What made you start up the business…
Emmy Designs was started by myself (Emma) when my sister got married a few years ago. As maid of honour to the bride, it was my job to help take some of the pressure off and help her to plan the big day. I was in my element! As a trained photographer and with many weddings in my portfolio, I had an idea of what made a successful wedding day. Of course I didn’t want to photograph the wedding and miss out on bridesmaid duties, but I wanted to help out in any other way possible! One of the last things to arrange was the wedding stationery, which we found really difficult! Nothing was quite her and just didn’t fit the style of the day. Everywhere we looked was saw the same old traditional invitations wrapped in frills and ribbon!
Having qualifications in graphic design and an eye for anything wedding, I decided to have a go myself. We had an idea of what we wanted which was a vintage ticket to match her wedding colours and 1930’s theme. I even invested in a vintage letterpress machine!
Everybody loved the ticket invites, and we had so much positive feedback from them, I decided that stationery should be something that I could do on the side of my photography! A few years down the line, my stationery has become so popular I decided that this was what I wanted to do full time. My style has definitely changed since starting out and I’ve found my niche which are the hand drawn designs.
What makes you Unique…
I like that my designs are unique to the couple. They feature things that mean a lot to them, which means you won’t find that invite anywhere else!
What kind of couples match your style of service…
My designs suits couples who are looking for something a little different that will stand out and feature their personalities.
Most favourite event/ wedding…
One of my favourite designs that I worked on was an illustrated design for a lovely couple who got in touch when I hadn’t been doing this for very long. I only had a few examples on my website and they totally trusted me to make everything from their invites, menus, name cards, order of service, favour tags and table plan! I was so pleased with the final result and it’s this job that always seems to bring me more work as everyone still loves it!
Tells us what you love about your business…
I love that every day is different! I also love getting positive feedback from couple especially when they share photos from the wedding which feature ‘on the day’ stationery items that I’ve made for them!
People’s reaction to your business…
Customers get really excited when they start to think about what could feature on their wedding stationery! From pets, places, flowers and even their favourite computer games, I’ve drawn it all!
Future plans…
I have so many lists of ideas that I want to get working on, I just need to find the time! I would love to add to more to my existing designs range too that suits more themes. This is more cost effective for the couple. Soon I will be adding some lovely foiled stationery to the collections and eventually laser cut designs too.
So happy to have you on board, Emma!
