Personalised favour tins!

Almost half a year has gone by since we last wrote in the Mooks blog... shame on us! : )


There's always so much going on that it's easier to just do stuff, than write about it!!! Still... it's always good to let our darling customers know about any special events or happenings that are taking place at Mooks HQ and this is such a time!


We are delighted to announce the launch of our new personalised wedding favours... adorable personalised favour tins!

The perfect keepsake for your guests, our little favour tins are personalised with a label that tie in with our contemporary wedding stationery ranges. Available in lots of colours and designs, these these dinky little tins contain a choice of tiny, chewy flavoured sweets, heart shaped mints... or you can purchase them empty and jam-pack them with your own choice of filling.

Once your guests have eaten the contents they’ll be left with a useful little tin, to keep their pins, stamps or other little treasures, safe and sound, which will also act as a lasting reminder of your big day!

We're so pleased to have added another item to our range. We spend such a long time designing new products that it's a real joy when they're finally launched!

Other news... 


Mooks very own Belle got married at the beginning of this month!! Designing her wedding stationery was a privilege and a pleasure and we were all totally delighted with the end result! We've been dying to launch her stationery as a new range, but were told — in no uncertain terms — that we had to hold off until her wedding day had passed!!


Now that it's happened and she is a proppa grown up 'Mrs' (!) we're busy getting her stationery design ready to launch on the Mooks website. 

Spring has sprung!

Once again time is whizzing by so quickly and we've not managed to post anything for ages!! Not sure where the time goes — or how we can manage to write the blog any more often — maybe we need a dedicated Mooks blogger... a Mooker perhaps?! Actually, perhaps not, that sounds a little rude?!


Things have been busy-busy in the Mooks office. We've been inundated with orders for this years weddings plus lots of new arrivals and Christenings, not to mention our partnership with Not On The High Street PLUS trying to design more stuff for Mooks Paperie : ) It's all go!



Contemporary wedding stationery is our passion and when we were asked to design some concepts for festival themed wedding invitations, we jumped at the chance!


We've already designed actual festival tickets — and other stationery — for our darling friend Bex who runs the fabulous festival Haselstock — www.haselstock.co.uk — but to mix this up with the wedding side of things is a joy and (we think) the end result is a triumph! We hope you agree.

Finally, whilst we remember... it's always lovely when we have emails from people saying how much they like our designs and we had a very sweet message back in March from Zoe, who's the editor, at the gorgeous blog Inspired Celebration!


She has created an eclectic collection of beautiful things... contemporary wedding stationery, gifts, things for the home, fashion... a real mix of loveliness! 


Zoe had featured one of our Butterfly table number cards in her blog. Lovely to know that our designs are appreciated and showcased along with other designs! : )

YIPPEE! wedding ideas awards 2010!

The bridal industry is gearing up for the annual Wedding Ideas awards, which are to be announced this Friday!

Although Mooks Design was up for the 'Best Wedding Stationery' award, we're small fry compared to some of the other nominees, so unfortunately haven't won this year...

...BUT how do we already know this, when the winners haven't actually been announced yet?? Well...

Almost as exciting as winning an award; Mooks has been asked to design the awards cards and envelopes!!!!!

The lovely girls at Wedding Ideas mag called us last week, said that they loved our designs, and asked if we would like to design this years stationery for their awards ceremony!

: )

So whilst we now know ALL of this years winners, we're obviously keeping it under our hats until they're announced on Friday ; ) but we'll post some pics of the cards and envelopes for you to see very soon.

It's always smashing to be given the opportunity to show off our talents. As we Mooks design and print all of our stationery to order, the possibilities are endless... as long as it can be printed, we can produce it (within reason of course!). We love the challenge of a bespoke order and have created lots of bespoke wedding stationery for many happy clients, over the years. We're so happy to have been asked to produce the ceremony stationery for Wedding Ideas and whilst we haven't yet managed to win an award, this has definitely made up for it!

: )

happy new year!

We've finally said goodbye to the 'noughties' and HELLO to the 'teenies'; a brand new decade and a new blog to boot!

: )

The last couple of years have been so exciting. New ventures; the launch of our website and 'Off-The-Peg ranges, so much happening and not enough time to take stock and really appreciate the fruits of our labours!

One of our resolutions for 2010 is to slow down a little and enjoy everything that we've achieved.

Talking of which, we've just launched two brand new ranges to add to the others and judging by all of the sample requests, it looks like they're going to be pretty popular!

Rambling Rose is the sister range to our very own Dotty Vintage!

As a 50's revival is in full swing — with designers such as Cath Kidston and Laura Ashley at the forefront of modern 'vintage-style' design — Mooks Design have been totally swept away on a nostalgic, vintage trip and created a romantic, shabby chic wedding stationery range of our own... with a modern twist to the colour palette!

Inspired by original 1950's prints and pattern; Rambling Rose is 50's in style, but married with contemporary colourways and is perfect for a vintage themed wedding. It comes in 6 glorious colours... Gold, Grape, Navy, Pink, Bottle Green and Silver.

Our second range for the new decade is 'Butterfly'...

This wedding stationery was originally designed, as bespoke wedding stationery, for a gorgeous couple called Louise and Lee - many moons ago!

A timeless classic; we've had so many requests for butterfly wedding invitations over the last couple of years, we thought it was about time that this beautiful personalised stationery design should join our other 'Off The Peg' ranges! There are four standard colours — teal, chocolate, purple or navy — which can either be printed on matt white or ivory boards.

We'll definitely try to keep you posted of any further developments at Mooks HQ, although as the team are always pretty busy - what with one thing or another - there's a more than vague possibility that our ramblings may not be that regular!

Happy new year to you - fingers crossed it's a good-un! x
