A suite of blossoms

We've done our cherry blossom design for many couples, but what we love about this one is the cohesiveness of all the various items in the set, matched together perfectly.

There was an invitation, a reception card, and an info card with map.


We did a nice map with simple lines and markings. It's perfect for many directions in places like the UK.

A wedding of grand proportions

This post is titled such because it's not often we get to do a wedding that's held in The Royal Chapel in Windsor Great Park in London. Just the location itself conjures up prim and proper English pleasantries!


An ornate baroque motif in green with touches of pink create a lovely stationery suite. We simply love the invitation, which comes with a map (one of the best we've done!), RSVP card, and information sheets.




There was a save-the-date prior to the event as well...in a matching design.

Palm trees and Beach destinations

Here's a sunny wedding in purple and yellow. The couple are a cheery bunch and they wanted a bright yellow theme to excite their guests for their destination wedding in Phuket.


They did matching placecards and menus which had quizzes on the back for their guests to play...


...and also had a cute leaf-shaped programme which doubled up as a fan to keep guests cool at their outdoor reception.

Bridal Trends 2011 - as seen on ExtraOrdinary Blog

2011 will be a popular year for weddings. Not only because the economy is slowly improving, but also because many couples, especially those of Chinese ethnicity, would probably like to try their luck at conceiving in the year after – the “Dragon year” in the Chinese zodiac, commonly seen as an auspicious year to give birth. Besides this, there are the many opportunities for nice dates – 11/11/ 2011, 20/11/2011, 1/11/2011, 11/02/2011…..and the list goes on.

As for trends in the wedding industry, we will be expecting a continued interest in destination weddings, vintage details, and customised stationery.

Destination Weddings
It’s only the beginning of the year, but we at Cardblanche have had many enquiries for weddings taking place in sunny beach destinations towards the middle of this year. Many couples know the importance of letting their guests know early-on about their special day, and are getting ready with invitations. Weddings at the beach tend to be small, intimate affairs, and there is more emphasis on creating a personal touch for guests. It could be a welcome gift pack, or a special itinerary created for a week-long celebration. And for beach weddings, couples are requesting for specially-designed stationery to match their theme or the place where their wedding is being held.

Destination Wedding Invite by CardBlanche

Destination weddings elsewhere are of growing popularity as well. From Japan to England, Australia to India, couples are celebrating their big day overseas although they might live, work, and have friends and family in Singapore. Perhaps their venue could be in their hometown, or maybe somewhere special where they’ve met. Stationery for destination weddings like this could rely on their ethnicity, origins, and the culture of their venue. All exciting themes for weddings!

Vintage Touches
Whilst ball gowns with bustier continue to be a popular favourite, the trumpet gown will be taking centrestage this season. Fitted around the waist and hips, it creates a sleek shapely silhouette and ‘explodes’ at the bottom in fluffy tulle or a long train. Details will be subtle and simple to allow for the dramatic skirt.

Pink & Cream Vintage

We've done quite a number of Bali weddings this year, and all of them were beautiful.


For this couple who wanted a pink and cream vintage theme, we used a baroque motif and paired it with dark pink and cursive lettering.


They had table number cards, program fans...


...favour tags...


...and little wish cards for guests to write their blessings and notes of advice to the newlyweds!

Tasteful & Sophisticated Grey

You might recognise this set of stationery, which is an extension of this other set done for a client.


To match their invitation suite, Loretta & Thiago asked us to do wishing cards, table cards, seating cards, favour tags, and a poster.


The stationery was done in white and grey with peonies and a little bird, all elements of their invitation suite.


Silvery satin ribbons were used everywhere too, especially to tie the favour tags to their favours, and to hang the wish cards on a tree.

Turquoise & Fuchsia

Marrying two bright colours together can be a daunting task, one that most people shy from (these very same people will probably go for gold and cream for their wedding, but that's another story...), but this couple here made it work for their fun and fresh wedding in Koh Samui.


Using our cherry blossom motif, we designed a range of stationery for the wedding in alternating combinations of turquoise and fuchsia. The end result was very bright, very striking and very dynamic indeed. The colours reflected the couple's fun nature and desire to have a warm, casual weekend with friends and family.


A great idea that they came up with as well, is to have their seating cards paired with little cocktail umbrellas. Their seating cards were folded like beach chairs, and this added to the look of their island wedding.


All in all, this was a great example on how a comprehensive set of wedding stationery can enhance the theme of a wedding.

Destination Weddings

We've had the honour of doing invitations and stationery for many destination weddings over these past few years. From Thailand and Bali, to Hong Kong and Japan, Canada and the UK, the one thing that impresses us about these weddings is the couples' dedication to creating a wonderful event for their guests. Here are some photos of a recent Bali wedding we had the privilege to design for.


Using a tropical theme and the colour purple, we designed a classic invitation featuring an illustration of palm trees swaying in the wind. Note: This palm tree design is specially commissioned and not available for invitations or stationery.


The couple also had matching stationery done, like placecards...


...and favours, and a paddle fan for guests to keep cool in the outdoors.


If you have a destination wedding to plan for, do make an appointment to discuss your ideas. We'd definitely help you design stationery that will match your wedding venue.
