Vicky Trainor Stationery are a design led studio based in North Yorkshire who specialise in fabulous unique designs and original wedding stationery ideas. Everything they produce is done so with love and care ‘in house’ enabling them to not only give the best bespoke and personal service possible but also to keep the costs down (which are then passed onto you of course!) They also offer a fab ‘off the peg’ service in their online shop The Paper Store.

The designs are all floral based but vastly range  in style from the feminine ‘Rose’ range to the fabulous and funky monochrome ‘Fauna’ collection (my personal favourite!) and the contrast of the retro yet modern ‘New Broadway’ design. “All my designs have been developed from drawings produced on holidays, photographs taken on weekend walks, vintage finds from car boot sales and antique fairs from Northumbria to Sussex” Vicky told me. “My obsession with everything and anything from the 50’s and 60’s and most importantly the little quiet places in my garden always comes through into my work. I am a classic hoarder of vintage haberdashery, ribbons and cotton lace, china cups and plates, table cloths and Victorian linens to 50’s ‘Babycham’ and ‘Cherry b’ coasters, Midwinter crockery – inspiration in everything (to quote Paul Smith!)”

A few weeks ago I was offered a couple of tickets to attend The Designer Wedding show in Battersea, London. The event took place from last Friday – Sunday so my friend (and photographer extraordinaire) David McNeil and I thought we’d go check it out in the hope to be inspired, have fun and to actually real-life-meet some of the amazing UK wedding vendors that we’ve met online. Today I want to share a few of my highlights and photographs from the event so you can see what fun we had. I definitely did and I even got to meet a bunch of Rock n Roll Bride readers. It was the first event I’ve been to where I actually got recognised which was surreal but certainly nice! Here are some of my (and David’s) faves.

Magpie Vintage undoubtedly had one of the busiest stalls of the day. I’ve wanted to meet Lisa & Tania for ages now and The Designer Weddingshow proved to be the perfect opportunity. I wondered up to their stand hoping they’d spot the pink hair and know it was me and as soon as I was within 20 feet I was greeted by Lisa with a massive hug and an “oh my god you look so young!” (haha way to suck up Lisa – you go girl!) and ” oh you simply must wear this necklace!” She the proceeded to drape a beautiful powder pink and teal green reclaimed vintage gem around my neck which I was lucky enough to walk around with all day (and yes I did remember to return it after!)

♥ Abbey of Sugalily Stationary and I have been chatting online for months now so it was great to finally meet her in real life. I fell in love with not only her but with her beautiful creations in paper, ribbon and sparkly bits. From retro to classic, colourful to muted, Abbey’s display was one of the most endearing there..and she had cupcakes! Now who could say no to that!?

♥ Myself and David had waaaay too much fun at the  Booth Nation/Glitterbooth. As we walked past I was instantly drawn to the 8 foot, silver glitter-covered photo booth. We were greeted by Seamus who immediately told us to hop in and give it a go, and inside only a bloomin’ built in wind machine (you can see we had fun with that!) I swear to god, if I was getting married again I would totally have one of these. Awesome!

♥ David fell in love with Emma Hunt’s simple, clean lines and said he would certainly be recommending their gowns to his clients! Read the rest of this entry »
