I receive a lot of emails every day. A lot. A good portion of these are from new brands in the wedding industry looking for a feature on the blog to help them raise the profile of their products or services, and as much as I'd love too, I couldn't possibly feature all of them.
For a start, some of the brands may not fit what I feel is the essence of Love My Dress, or appeal to my reader. But every once in a while, something wonderful comes along that makes me wish I was planning my wedding all over again. My benchmark is to usually ask myself, 'would I buy these products or services?' And on this occasion, I would most certainly be adding those items to my electronic shopping basket without ANY second thought!
I'd like to introduce you to Artcadia, a new wedding stationery brand that was established by Graphic Design Artist, Vici-Jane Kohring…
“While planning my own wedding I struggled to find wedding stationery which reflected our own personalities and the 'less traditional' style of our wedding day. I saw the opportunity to take my experience in design from the world of advertising and put it into designing fantastic wedding stationery. I draw inspiration for Artcadia from the stunning countryside setting that we are blessed with and also our menagerie of animals. I get great pleasure from working with couples realising their wedding stationery visions, bringing together their personalities, wedding day themes and styles."
Look at all those beautiful swirly fonts and flourishes. I think I've died and gone to type-case heaven! I LOVE it! This is the Captain Swirly Nautical Save The Date Card, £1.95 per item, from the Artcadia Nautical collection…

Carnival or Nautical?
Vici-Jane groups her designs into seven different categories; Carnival, Vintage, Nautical, Organic, Bright & Contemporary, Topiary and Manilla, each of which boast some truly very gorgeous designs, that for me, really stand out as impressively original.

Don’t just compromise with your wedding stationery. Why settle for boring, mass produced stationery like everyone else? …
Artcadia offer a wide range of event stationery including wedding invitations, RSVP cards, menus, table plans and order of service books, but a small selection of which are showcased on this page.
And Vici-Jane is conscious about the impact her business has on the environment too, using recycled and biodegradable materials, which scores a big fat ethically pleasing Brownie point with me!

"Artcadia is no standard approach to event stationery. All design work has a flair of individuality, the aim being to deliver unique and personal designs which will reflect the ‘special day’ in the best fashion. – vintage, contemporary, outrageous…. you decide.
