Did you ever see more beautiful paper goods? I thought not. You guests will be seriously impressed with invitations as pretty as these dropping onto their door mat. These fresh and stylish designs will set the tone to your gorgeous nuptials and they will work seamlessly on the day too. Just wait until you see the coordinating table plans, place cards and menus too, you’ll want them all.<\/p>\n

Dearly Beloved<\/a> are one seriously talented team and they will create the wedding stationery of your dreams, that’s for sure. I really enjoyed chatting with them today and love the snippets of their illustration work behind the scenes.<\/p>\n

Hi Ben and Abi, could you firstly tell WWW readers a little bit about you?<\/h2>\n

Hi! We are Dearly Beloved, creative couple Ben and Abi who specialise in designing contemporary wedding stationery and beautifully illustrated products. We work together from our home studio down by the sea on Plymouth\u2019s Barbican in Devon.<\/p>\n

What do you love and dislike about your job?<\/h2>\n

We really love working with people! We are passionate about great design and it\u2019s awesome to share this with other couples. The best part about what we do is working help people\u2019s vision for their wedding day come together.<\/p>\n

What do we dislike?…<\/p>\n

B: I don\u2019t like admin\u2026<\/p>\n

A: But I really like being organised! So it\u2019s a good job we\u2019re a team!<\/p>\n

How did you get into the wedding industry?<\/h2>\n

B: Well we met at university whilst studying Illustration. \u00a0After our degrees we were both lucky enough to find work in design and illustration. Abi was being asked to create quite a few invitations and we could see a great opportunity to combine our skills to build a creative business.<\/p>\n

A: I guess because my work is feminine it really suits a lot of wedding styles. I really love the process of working with couples, on what for a lot of people, is one of the biggest days of their lives. It\u2019s amazing seeing how happy people are in photos of their wedding and then spotting our designs there in the back of shot, helping make the day special!<\/p>\n

Tell us about your typical working day.<\/h2>\n

Our days are so varied, when we aren\u2019t painting or designing at the computer (and upsetting the neighbours with our terrible singing) we could be meeting clients to talk about their wedding, running back and forth to our local printer or heading out to styled photoshoots.<\/p>\n

We try to get out to cafes once and a while too when we need to discuss new ideas or tricky stuff, sometimes it helps to be out of the studio.<\/p>\n

If you could choose another role in the wedding industry what would it be?<\/h2>\n

A: WEDDING SINGER! I\u2019m not sure I have the talent but I would be very enthusiastic<\/p>\n

B: I think I would make an excellent Chief Cake Sampler\u2026 actually I could do Abi\u2019s backing vocals!<\/p>\n

What do you aim to achieve for your clients?<\/h2>\n

The client feedback we are most proud of is that we are able to interpret their wedding style and create something beautiful without compromising their ideas. If we can do this for every couple we\u2019ll consider our work a success!<\/p>\n

What style is your work? How would you describe your style in three words?<\/h2>\n

Fresh. Stylish. Design<\/p>\n

Could you tell us some information about your packages\/prices?<\/h2>\n

There are two ways we can work with you, we can create something completely bespoke or you can choose from the Dearly Beloved Collections.<\/p>\n

We charge our bespoke work by an hourly design rate, so the price really depends on what you would like. We normally ask couples to sit down together and send over some images of visuals they like so we can get an idea of their style. (This could be anything from a film poster to their favourite fabric or some detail from the bridesmaid dresses.) Then we send over a quote based on the time we estimate it will take us to create their personalised design.<\/p>\n

Our Collections are a selection of designs available straight from dearlybeloveddesign.co.uk<\/a> and range from \u00a31 – \u00a32.50 per item.<\/p>\n

Do you have any tips for couples in selecting their stationery?<\/h2>\n

Don\u2019t be afraid to make your wedding your own! Don\u2019t get bogged down with traditions if they just aren\u2019t for you. A wedding is a celebration of your lives together so it should feel like \u201cyou\u201d!<\/p>\n
