Our story

Poppy and Thistle came about when a friend of mine was planning her wedding. I have always loved to draw and be creative. Whilst searching through many different wedding invite designs, I thought about two things. The first being; I’d love to design wedding invites and work with couples to get exactly what they want. The second of my thoughts was how much paper is used for wedding suites and then thrown away. This is where inspiration hit me and the idea came from to create wedding invitations from recycled wildflower seed paper; a recycled paper with wildflower seeds embedded within it, not only a beautiful paper but also a wonderful memento for wedding guests to remember your big day by, once they have planted the invite.

Not only are the invites made from recycled wildflower seed paper, but all other paper we use is recycled paper, including the envelopes. We all know how important our planet is and that we need to do our bit to look after it. By using recycled paper we discourage the creation of new paper and the deforestation which damages our environment. We also encourage environments for bees and other wildlife to live in and feed from by growing these wildflowers from the wildflower seed paper invites.

So this is where the excitement and passion of Poppy and Thistle began. The research was initiated and the designs started being created. Initially I designed a few invitation suites as a set of ready to print designs. These can have alterations made to them on your request, such as; change of font, colour scheme, and paper. As the idea is, however, to make your perfect invitation suite, I also offer a bespoke design service where we can work together to create exactly what you want, if you can’t find it amongst our pre-existing designs.

With a background of creating bespoke art and portraits, being able to draw, paint or create something to integrate into a wedding stationery suite that is suited to you, is very exciting. Whether this may be a floral watercolour design with your favourite flowers in, or a pencil drawing depicting your most loved hobby, a sailing boat for example, I will endeavour to create a design that matches your vision.
