Paper & Petals by Louise creates bespoke wedding invitations to reflect your story, style and celebration. From romantic layered suites to destination inspired passport invitations, each design is thoughtfully created with beautiful typography, carefully chosen finishes and meaningful details that feel personal to you.
Whether you are drawn to timeless elegance, modern minimalism, soft romantic tones or something completely unique, your wedding invitations are often the first glimpse your guests will have of your day. I work closely with couples to create custom wedding invitations that feel special from the moment they are opened.
Based in Southend-on-Sea, Essex, I create bespoke wedding invitations for couples across Essex and throughout the UK, designing stationery that feels luxurious, personal and beautifully curated.
Please reach us at hello@paperandpetalsbylouise.co.uk if you cannot find an answer to your question below, and we will be happy to help.
I always recommend getting in touch around 4 to 6 months before your wedding if you would like bespoke invitations created. This allows plenty of time for the design process, printing and assembly, as well as time for your guests to receive them.
My typical turnaround is around 6 weeks from design approval and payment, although this can be closer to 8 weeks for specialised finishes such as foiling, fabric stationery or highly bespoke elements.
If your wedding is sooner, please still feel free to enquire as I will always do my best to help where possible.
Absolutely. Every design I create is completely bespoke, meaning your stationery can be tailored to your exact wedding aesthetic.
Whether you have a colour palette, floral inspiration, venue details or a particular theme in mind, I can incorporate these elements into your stationery so everything feels beautifully cohesive with the rest of your day.
If you have inspiration images, mood boards or Pinterest ideas, you are very welcome to share them during the design process.
Yes, I do offer beautifully designed digital invitations for couples who prefer a paperless option.
These are perfect for sharing via email, WhatsApp or wedding websites while still maintaining the same elegant and personalised design style as printed stationery.
Digital invitations can also be paired with QR codes linking to your wedding website or RSVP page for added convenience.
Yes, and they are one of my favourite details to include.
I offer hand illustrated venue sketches which can be incorporated into invitations, welcome signs, order of the day signage and other stationery pieces.
They add a lovely personal touch and are a beautiful way to highlight the place where your day will unfold.
If you would like a venue illustration included, simply let me know during the design process and I will create a bespoke sketch based on reference images of your venue.
