Let’s Get Creative…
Earlier this year we were invited to get involved in a creative shoot at the beautiful Lanwades Hall by Fran Wheatley of Fancy Freckle (designer of stunning hand beaded bespoke head pieces) who was styling the shoot, and Neil & Delia Randle of Invision Photography (I’ll tell you a bit more about this gorgeous couple shortly 
).
Not only would the images from this shoot promote the venue and the work of the handpicked suppliers involved, but they were also to be used in promoting a wedding fair with a difference (which we exhibited at yesterday at Comberton Leisure Centre). More about the Fair in a minute… lets take a look at the pretty!
Getting in the Mood…
Fran sent a mood board to give me an idea of the style, colours and general ideas of what she was aiming for and then left me to create stationery to suit! Inspired by the ‘Sunken Garden’ at Lanwades Hall and the general vintage feel from Fran’s moodboard we created a collection of stationery with delicate floral designs and a textured finish.

Just So… Inviting
The collection that we’ve entitled “Secret Garden” will be forming part of our new and innovative range of stationery under the “Just So” collection (launching in January 2013… more about this soon!) included: Invitations, Escort Cards, Menu Cards, Place Cards, Table Name Cards and a variety of small tags for use on cakes and jars…
Escort Cards work well as an alternative to a formal table plan, but think about how you want to display them… give your guests something interesting to look at!
With a vintage feel to the styling and the setting of the venue we opted for Table Names with a similar feel… in this instance Children’s Classic stories (including: The Secret Garden & Tom’s Midnight Garden).
Cute “Pick your Own” and “Life is Sweet” Labels (ideal for Sweet/Dessert/Cake Tables… or in this instance, Fruit!)
Individual Menu Cards
One of my absolute favorite images from the photoshoot… At Lanwades Hall, your pets can play a big part in your day!

Back to the Fair…
Organisers of the Fair, Neil & Delia Randle of Invision Photography chose to donate all the profits, and all the money raised from the raffle to the Childhood Eye Cancer Trust (CHECT), a small charity which is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year. The charity supports children with eye cancer (retinoblastoma, which is vey rare and mainly affects children under the age of 5)) and their families. The couple first met CHECT in the spring, when Neil was asked to photograph a group of children at Shepreth Wildlife Park to kick-off the 25th anniversary fundraising events. He was so moved by their stories that he wanted to help further, and hence the idea of a charity wedding fair. If people would like to learn more about eye cancer, which can show up in photographs as a white spot in the middle of the eye, they can go to www.chect.org.uk.
