I've been working on a lot of logo designs recently, and it has come to my attention that I have been undercharging for the work quite significantly - I've actually been told off by 2 other designers for undervaluing myself! Oops!
So after lots of research (and discovering that the other designers were right!) my logo design prices will be increasing. This won't be happening until next monday (3rd October,) to give you guys a chance to book in some cheap logo design work before the increase!

{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!

{Design Case Study} The Wedding Reporter logo and website banner!
I was so pleased when Emma from The Wedding Reporter emailed me asking for help revamping her logo recently! As you all know, I'm a massive fan of The Wedding Reporter (click here for my supplier feature) and I am also very honoured to be the creator of her printed wedding reports (find out more!)
♥ Before ♥
Whilst the previous logo was effective enough, Emma wanted something a little more special and striking to better reflect the idea behind the wedding reporter. We both agreed that the curly brackets worked really well, and so these definitely had to stay, and be incorporated into the new design.
♥ The Contenders ♥
Here are some of the ideas I came up with...
♥ The Winner! ♥
And the winner is...
♥ The Banner ♥
After completing the logo I then created a banner to fit into the wordpress site. Click here to see it in place!
To create the banner I used this gorgeous image of Emma's notebook, taken by the lovely Ali Lovegrove...
It's been so lovely to help Emma create a new look for The Wedding Reporter, and I'm so happy to say that she is very pleased with the end results! :)
Do you fancy having a new logo designed for your business?
I'm offering a super duper discounted rate throughout the summer!

{Design Case Study} Military Wedding Discounts logo and website design
I have recently finished working on a really enjoyable and rewarding project for the lovely ladies over at Military Wedding Discounts.
The Military Wedding Discounts is a lovely idea that has been created to help members of the Armed Forces in both the UK and USA save money when planning their wedding.
They also donate 50% of the advertising fee to charity - Help For Heroes (UK Suppliers) and Operation Gratitude (USA Suppliers), so i think you will agree that this website is for a fantastic cause, so I was very pleased to be able to assist them with a fabulous new look for their brand.
♥ The Logo ♥
When creating the logo I wanted to ensure that I incorporated the military aspect in some way, whilst still finishing with an end product that was both pretty and attractive, and also relevant to the wedding market and appropriate for a wedding blog.
I put together a selection of ideas for them to choose from (one of them featured a camouflage wedding cake!) and they chose this one, which was also my favourite:
To create the design I chose an elegant and delicate font that would contrast well with the bold army style font, alongside an illustration of a bride and soldier, on a pretty vintage blue background, which brings the design together really well!
♥ The Website ♥
Before:
Whilst the existing website was pretty enough, it was a little lackluster and didn't really reflect the style and feeling that they wanted to go for from the site.
After:
After creating the new logo, I then went into the site to give it a bit of a facelift, with a new banner incorporating the logo (featuring pretty lace detail,) a new background, a more attractive font, and new buttons and icons.
♥ The blog badge ♥
I also put together this additional blog badge, which will go out to all suppliers who feature on this fabulous site:
Emma and Terri were so pleased with the end result, and there has been an amazing response to the new design from lots of others via twitter and facebook! I hope that you like it too :)

The Wedding Reporter - Design Work & Photoshoot!
I first discovered the Wedding Reporter back in March, and ever since I have been a huge fan of the idea, so you can imagine how pleased and excited I was when I received an email from Emma asking for some design assistance!
Emma wanted a finished product for her reports that was extra special and could be treasured for years to come, rather than a boring and unattractive PDF or word document!
We worked together to create the finished booklet, which is handmade from top quality ivory card and features illustrations and a selection of beautiful fonts.
The images featured have been taken by the lovely Ali Lovegrove, and Laura from Purple and Pearls was their gorgeous bride for the day!
To find out more about the Wedding Reporter, you can read my supplier focus, or visit the website.
