Thoughts from George & Joshua | Wedding Stationery Advice & Inspiration
Real advice from two designers who have been making alternative, gothic and celestial wedding stationery since 2018.
This is not a generic wedding planning blog. Everything here comes directly from George and Joshua, the two of us behind every design at Birdhouse197. The honest opinions, the things we wish couples knew earlier, the inspiration behind our collections and the practical advice that actually helps when you are planning a wedding that does not fit the mould.
If you are planning a gothic, celestial, tarot-inspired, Victorian or alternative wedding and you want stationery that genuinely reflects your day, you are in the right place. Pull up a chair.

The honest advice we give every couple before they order. Lead times, proofs, personalisation and why your guests will love it more than you think.
