Dreamy biscuit tones at the Old Pheasantry Brewery! A new design to add to my "off the shelf" invitation option here.... it includes the words "you are my today and all of my tomorrows" and you have the option of having a monogram designed for you too.

I'm loving the mix of arch shapes, colours and hand made paper too.

If you're looking for your own wedding stationery, I'm taking bookings now for 2025 and 2026 too, pop a DM over with your email address and I'll send you my price list!

The shimmer of ink on paper and the raised texture will never get old for me! Commission ideas include special poems, wedding vows, lyrics to a meaningful song. Make those permanent and visible in your home!

For those of you who were following me round the country last week, here is what I was up to!

Working on behalf of Premier Events, we collectively "installed" at 8 of Côte Brasserie's restaurants. It was a 4 day, 600 mile event (full itinerary below!). Premier Events made the Alpine theme come to life on the terraces of all the locations, think festoon lighting and sheepskin rugs, plus pop up DJs over the next few months and ski lift photo opportunities! I was there to decorate the windows to catch the attention of passers-by and entice them in to the restaurants. A lot of them have hidden terraces so it's great to think that my work helps bring people through the doors.

Full schedule:
St Albans
St Katherine's Dock (Tower of London)
Hays Galleria
Kingston-upon-Thames
Windsor
Henley
Bath
Liverpool

Luckily there wasn't any snow on the ground but most venues were by the river and temps were pretty chilly! The staff at every single venue were incredibly welcoming and kept us topped up with hot drinks to keep us warm.

If you live near any of the venues, please give them a visit. If I'm allowed to have a favourite it would be Hays Galleria, the sunrise behind Tower Bridge and HMS Belfast was just incredible to see. A must-visit breakfast spot if you're in the London Bridge area - they open at 7.30am.

Huge thanks to the team at Premier for putting me forward for the job, it was an absolute pleasure!

PS shout out to Martin in St Albans, who stopped me for a quick chat and suggested I wrote ôpen with the accent, to go with the Côte name, love these little details!

If you've been here a while, forgive me for talking about mirrors again, but they are my absolute favourite! When Samantha sent me a picture of her mirror and asked if I could write on it, it was an absolute yes from me!

Teamed with beautiful florals and styling, wow what a statement it made!

Harlaxton Manor is the most magical place and I'm so delighted to be back there again this Saturday 18th for their open day. For more information, to book your free place, or to see where else you can find me, check out the "forthcoming events" page on my website.

Thank you Samantha and Zack for trusting me with your special day 💕

Hope to be chatting about more mirror signage very soon! Vicky x

A beautiful and intimate wedding for Ruby and Karl at Stubton Hall. Ruby is an exceptionally talented picture framer and artist, she drew her own illustration of Stubton and then came to me to turn it into a menu design, plus my favourites - a mirror and cotton rag place cards.

If you have your own artistic talents (or perhaps have a friend who loves to sketch or paint) then why not talk to me about how I can help incorporate them into your wedding stationery? I've done this many times before and it honestly makes it into something so unique and incredibly personal and I'm more than happy to help that happen!

Thank you to Ruby and Karl for letting me be a part of your special day 💕

About the weekend.... Prestwold Hall looking so beautiful and festive for this gorgeous winter wedding! Plus the most stunning flowers by Sophie at .

S&T chose my Elegant package for their on-the-day stationery and signage, and opted to upgrade to baubles as place settings, a perfect memento for all guests for years to come!

Congratulations you pair, I can't wait to see the photos!

If you're looking for elegance, you've come to the right place. Adding this embossed frame to a place card really takes it to the next level, I hope you agree!

(Available on any colour of card too, choose tented like the picture or flat)

Couples: send me a DM to add these to your order

As a calligrapher, I find it quite fun to trial lots of different surfaces, it doesn't just have to be paper! I also like to explore more unusual ideas for place settings and even incorporate them into favours for the guests. For the Sami Tipi Outdoor Wedding Show at the weekend, I chose to showcase two options to complement the beautiful autumnal colours of Lesley's styling. These were ceramic white pumpkins and rust coloured card, cut in the shape of Oak leaves!

I do always practice a "less waste" approach to my wedding stationery and I enjoy creating signage that reflects my couples' personalities. The fabric sign was hand painted with First Dance song lyrics. It acts as a lovely alternative to a welcome sign and can ultimately be used as a piece of artwork to treasure long after the wedding day itself.

Get to know me a bit more....
The lyrics are from our own wedding First Dance, which is Nothing Else Matters by Metallica. It was the perfect song for us - Joe is a heavy metal rocker and I am absolutely not (we are chalk and cheese in so many ways!) This song is one of Metallic's calmer pieces (!) and the lyrics are just perfect 💖

Are you getting married in 2025? It's already time for you to start thinking about your invitations and maybe even "on the day" stationery, especially if you're after something a bit different!

I've recently added this invitation design to my "off the shelf" collection and you have the option of adding a custom monogram too.

I love the biscuit and n**e tones in this collection and the addition of a bit of texture too. These little details will truly elevate your day and of course set the tone for your guests the moment they receive your invitation!

Also, a moment for this key, isn't it incredible! It's the key to the beautiful church at Abbey Farm, a gorgeous venue and a dream team to work with 💛

About InvitingWriting

Hello there, I’m Vicky and I live in Melton Mowbray, Leicestershire with my husband Joe and our two dogs Eddie and Derek. In 2017 I started my handwriting business “InvitingWriting”.

I offer to hand-write anything, including (but not limited to) invitations, envelopes, name cards, signage and table plans. I’ve also made song lyric pieces and personalised “on the day you were born” prints. For something a little different, I love sign writing on mirrors too!

I love a challenge so if you want it writing, give me a try!

In early 2018 I joined the Leicestershire Calligraphers and am proud to be able to offer a variety of different styles which you can see in my work. I offer simple hand writing, embroidery, Modern Calligraphy and also now Art Deco style calligraphy.
