I first came across their work on Facebook and immediately clicked LIKE!! I am sure you will all be rushing to do the same once you see Leah's gorgeous designs.
That being said lets hear from the lovely Leah...
So... Tell us about your business, in your own words?
Unique, gorgeous, quirky, interesting, funky and fun with a sprinkling of vintage!
I create completely personal, totally unique wedding and event stationery, as well as other creative design such as graphic design and web design. I’ll also be launching some prints and artwork in the next few months.
Where did the inspiration come from to start your business, how did you get started?
I’ve been working in the hospitality industry since I was 16, and have always loved weddings and events. I am also a hopeless romantic and love Love and all things vintage. As I studied graphic design at university and have always been arty (I doodle on pretty much anything!) I decided to combine my two loves to create wedding and event stationery!
What do you love most about your job?
When I get to wrap the finished items in tissue paper and ribbons and post them off to my lovely customers! I also love the very first stages of an enquiry, when I get to chat with my customers about their ideas and I love to see them getting inspired and excited about what I can create for them!
How does your company differ from others in the same field?
The majority of my designs are developed from my illustrations which all begin life as hand drawn doodles in my sketch book. The ones that aren’t are font based, and every single item is finished by hand. I also tailor all of my designs to fit each couple, ensuring that their stationery is exactly how they want it. I don’t use diamante heart buckles or ready made stuck on flowers!
Tell us a little about yourself...
I love all things vintage, retro and romantic! When I’m not making stationery and being arty I’m collecting vintage clothing, shoes and accessories - my favourite vintage item is my teal 1950’s ball gown. I also love fonts - my boyfriend thinks I’m very strange when I get really excited about a new font that I’ve discovered!
What does the future hold for your business, plans, hope, aspirations...
I’m day dreaming about a little studio in the city centre that I can decorate with lovely vintage furniture and quirky finds, in pretty pastel colours. It would be lovely for people to be able to pop in to say hi and browse through my portfolios and items.
Thanks for answering our questions Leah, it was lovely getting to know more about your gorgeous work!
