Choosing your wedding stationery is one of the most personal decisions you'll make in your planning journey. It sets the tone for your entire day — before a single guest arrives. Here's how to get it right.
Before you browse, pin down your visual theme. Are you drawn to botanical illustration, vintage literary references, or something bold and graphic? Your stationery should feel like a natural extension of your venue, flowers, and overall mood.
At Mustard and Gray, every design begins as a hand-drawn illustration in our Shropshire workshop — so each suite carries a warmth and individuality that print-on-demand templates simply can't replicate.
A full stationery suite typically includes:
You don't have to order everything at once, but choosing a cohesive design from the start means everything will match beautifully.
Save the dates should go out 9–12 months before the wedding; invitations 6–8 weeks before. Factor in design approval, printing, and postage time — especially if you're ordering bespoke illustrated stationery.
From the delicate natural history of our Darwin's Menagerie collection to the timeless elegance of Great Gatsby and the wildflower charm of Hills, Heather and Gorse, our illustrated wedding stationery is designed to feel as individual as your relationship.
Envelope liners, wax seals, and ribbon ties can elevate even a simple suite. Ask about our finishing options when you enquire.
