George & Joshua
George
I am a college Fine Art tutor with a background in Illustration and Graphic Design.
This little adventure began several years ago when I was asked by one of my best friends to create the table plan for her wedding. As my work was well received, I popped a couple of designs on Etsy to test the waters (not thinking much of it) and that has led to where I am now! I am passionate about creating unique designs for unique weddings whilst simultaneously providing excellent customer service and smooth transactions to you.
Joshua
I am George’s partner in wedding stationery as well as in life! My role is to make sure everything runs as smooth as it possibly can. Keeping George organised and channelling those creative impulses effectively, making sure you are happy along the way.
I’ve been on this journey with George since the beginning and became more involved in assisting with processing, quality checking and completing orders a few years ago (when things started to take off!).
I love that we can be a small part of so many people’s special day and aim to make ordering your bespoke stationery the easiest part of organising it.

In November 2025, we said goodbye to Bird. She was our namesake, our favorite girl, and the heart of this journey from the very start.
