In the press this month...

Mooks appear in the brand new October issue of Perfect Wedding magazine — two features no less!

The first editorial mention shows our Vintage Lace 2 invitation which we created for a lovely couple last year. The bride's theme was scarlet and ivory and she chose to have all of her wedding stationery recoloured to tie in with this colourscheme. Very bold, but striking too... perfect for a winter wedding!

All of Mooks wedding stationery can be recoloured to match your colourscheme — 
if there's something that you'd particularly like but don't see it on our website, as we design and print all of our stationery to order, we'll be able to create something especially for you.

The next article is all about a couple that based their wedding around a school theme and Perfect Wedding have featured one of our Wedding Pub Quiz Cards!
 

Perfect Wedding Magazine — October 2012, page 116

The couple that we created this particular design for were teachers and asked if we could produce the quiz card to look more like a school test sheet.
Never one to turn down a challenge, we happily obliged and the final quiz sheets were a triumph! Gold stars all round : )

The wedding pub quiz cards are a fantastic ice-breaker; if you have guests at your wedding that don't know each other very well — or have never even met — the quiz cards soon get everybody chatting and we've been told by quite a few of our customers that the tables of guests can soon get very competitive and raucous! It's a great way to instil a bit of camaraderie within your guests and a fun way for people to get to know each other without feeling awkward or self conscious!

Busy, busy, busy...

Wow - it's been such a long time since we posted on our blog.... and feeling everso slightly guilty that we've not managed to keep it up to date...* blush*. Having said that, things really have been so incredibly manic recently that there just don't seem to be enough hours, doing our day to day stuff, without managing to type a running commentary as well : )

We Mooks have been rushed off our feet, what with the summer wedding season in full swing, we've also moved house and business premises - from Marlow to the East Midlands - PLUS we've also just exhibited, for the first time, at the National Wedding Show at the NEC... PHEW!

As it was our first show, it took an awful lot of planning and worrying, but we're really happy to confirm that it went amazingly well and the feedback from our clients has been absolutely fantastic!

As well as meeting past and potential customers, it was also a great opportunity to meet our friends from Wedding Ideas and Perfect Wedding magazines! So lovely to meet the girls that we regularly speak to, and finally put faces to names etc!

Also a really good opportunity to meet other wedding suppliers and fellow stationers within the industry! Such lovely camaraderie between everyone, that they made the 3 days (plus the set-up day) pass really quickly!

One business that we think our brides will love is 'Your Wonderwall'. Lovely Allie, who runs the company, kept us amused (and sane) over the weekend! They had also just done the London leg of the show, the week before, so the fact that she was so full of energy and humour was pretty impressive!

A 'wonderwall' is a beautifully personalised montage of your favourite photos, telling a story of a special someone or occasion.

In short, they will take the pictures trapped on your PC, in albums and boxes, and then turn them into a large showpiece for your home.

Just give them your photos- either professional or amateur - and their design team turn them into contemporary wall art. All are available in a choice of stunning glass frames or on canvas.

We were really impressed by the concept, but also by the frames that they are supplied in! The vintage style frames would be absolutely perfect for our wedding seating plans! The frames come in lots of different finishes, but our favourites, by far, are the black or ivory classic frames... they'd look stunning with one of our Rambling Rose or Damask wedding table plans in!

We're taking a breather for a couple of weeks then gearing up for all of the Christmas weddings that are coming up, but we shall definitely be exhibiting at next years shows... it may take another 6 months to recover from this last one, but hopefully by next Autumn, we'll be all set to do it again!

Hopefully speak to you soon (we'll try to make it a little sooner than last time...!) X
