Calling all planners, stylists, venues and bloggers!

Tomorrow I will be spending the day making up and sending out some lovely sample packs for wedding planners, event stylists, venues and bloggers.

Bespoke Christmas cards!

Its nearly that time of year again!

As you may know I launched my Christmas collection yesterday.

As well as the predesigned ranges I'm also offering bespoke cards, which are a great option if you're looking for something a bit more unique and personal. Whether it's for your business, family or for personal use I can create a design to suit you.

In Blue Peter style, here's one I made earlier....



























...and here's a sneaky peak of mine!



























I charge a design fee of £20 to create a design for you, plus printing and postage on top.
There are 2 different printing options available:

A6 open out cards (blank inside) plus matching envelopes: 60p per card
A6 postcard (with a message on the back if you like): 45p per card

I can do other shapes and sizes if needed - price on application.

For more information or to enquire please email leah@goldenappledesigns.co.uk

I love wrapping...

...and i don't mean the eminem variety. I mean the lovely tissue paper and ribbon variety.

One of my favourite parts of an order is when it's all finished- the cards are tucked into their cellophane bags and sealed away, and the whole thing is wrapped in crisp white tissue paper.

I then tie the whole thing up with lovely ribbon and a little personalised tag and imagine the excitement of unwrapping the parcel!

I'm off to post this one now for the lovely Franky (Blogger Love Audrey) and her fiancee.. I hope they enjoy unwrapping it as much as i enjoyed wrapping it!

{monday musings} 500 Days of Summer

Good Morning!

So I know it isn't monday but as I dont work mondays anymore (yes, i'm giving myself an actual set day off every week!) i've moved it to Tuesdays and am yet to think of a catchy name for it on a Tuesday. Can you?!

Anyway. Last night me and Joe watched 500 Days of Summer, which we both loved. (Yes, even Joe!) I loved everything about it - the soundtrack, (so many of my favourite songs!) the gorgeous illustrations throughout and Zooey Dechanel's lovely outfits!



I'm going to have it on again in the background whilst I work today :)

Lots to do this week, including launching my Christmas collection - cards, tags and decorations!

On Thursday i'll be sending out sample packs to planners, bloggers, venues and stylists - if you would like one then email me on leah@goldenappledesigns.co.uk and i'll add you to the list!

Hope you have a lovely week ahead :)

{Design Case Study} Flyers for The Wedding Reporter

I recently designed some flyers for The Wedding Reporter, so thought I would share them with you on the blog!

The flyer design was created whilst I was designing the logo for The Wedding Reporter (click here to find out more) - I'd added a penguin book style logo as a bit of a wild card to reflect Emma's love of literature. Whilst Emma loved the design it wasn't quite right for the logo but she asked if i could make it into flyers instead, which was a fantastic idea!




The flyers looked so eye catching on The Wedding Reporter stand (a gorgeous vintage bureau from The Little Wedding Helper) at 'A Brides Affair' last Sunday...











































Emma loves her new flyers - i hope you like them too!

Click here for more info on graphic design, and don't forget, I give 15% off to my friends :)

Website facelift!

I was looking at my home page last night, and whilst it was pretty I thought it needed it a bit more... Oooo and aaaah!

So I've added lots of pretty boxes linking to stuff in lovely pastelly colours with some vintage decorations and a bucketload of my favourite fonts, as well as MORE polka dots. YES. Never enough polka dots.











I've also added in any badges that people have sent me when they've featured me on their blogs (If you've featured me and I've not put your badge up then send it over!)

Have a look at it... click here.. go on!

All that's left now is some awesome photography of my work, which is coming very soon!! :)

What the *beep*...

...should i wear to the Any Other Party tomorrow?!

There are a few different dresses knocking about in the wardrobe, and after being so vintage at the last event (the Love My Dress Soiree) i've decided to go ultra glam and modern for this event!

I've put together some dream Any Other Party worthy outfits using Polyvore (which is WAY too fun!)

Click on the pictures to find out where the items are from - they're all really expensive but a girl can dream right?!








































































































































Yummy aren't they?!
