Then of course we love it in the studio to hear the feedback when a couple are so delighted and well and truly happy with the stationery they\u2019ve chosen. It\u2019s just the best!<\/p>\n<p>What we don\u2019t like is when a bride &amp; groom come to us too late to place an order; we hate the disappointment if we just can\u2019t make it in time. One piece of advice we\u2019d always offer to a couple planning a wedding is give your suppliers as much time as you can, most of your wedding items are made especially for you, it\u2019s not off the shelf so we need time to lovingly make it!<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-99136\" src=\"https:\/\/whimsical-cdn.wedissimo.com\/2013\/12\/www.-HUMMINGBIRD.jpg\" alt=\"Wedding Stationery http:\/\/www.hummingbirdcards.co.uk\/\" width=\"600\" height=\"494\" srcset=\"https:\/\/whimsical-cdn.wedissimo.com\/2013\/12\/www.-HUMMINGBIRD.jpg 600w, https:\/\/whimsical-cdn.wedissimo.com\/2013\/12\/www.-HUMMINGBIRD-150x124.jpg 150w, https:\/\/whimsical-cdn.wedissimo.com\/2013\/12\/www.-HUMMINGBIRD-300x247.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Whimsical Hummingbirds<\/p>\n<h1>How did you get into Design and into the wedding industry?<\/h1>\n<p>Having been a lingerie designer Sally-Ann loved beautiful things, be it intricate lace and pretty embroideries, all things vintage or whimsy.
