How did Inkydoodle start?
When my fiancé and I first started planning our wedding we spent ages trawling the internet for wedding stationery that was bright, colourful and a little bit different; we were looking for something that was really us. All we could find were hundreds of websites selling cream pearlescent stationery with ribbon, doves, rings and bells that wasn't really us. As a result I created inkydoodle.
What is your background?
I have worked in events for many years but only really got into the wedding industry recently as I had a baby 7 months ago and I'm trying to launch inkydoodle so that I can quit my day job and work for myself. I'm hugely inspired by anyone who has managed to set up their own business and make a success of it!
Tell us about your designs?
In terms of stationery inspiration, most of the stationery in the collection is inspired by weddings I have been to. Blogs with real weddings are also a huge inspiration, I follow about 4/5 religiously and they give me lots of ideas. Sometimes inspiration comes from the strangest places, like the latest clothes fashion or home magazines!
Inkydoodle designs wedding and special event stationery with an edge, for couples looking for something a little bit different.
We steer clear of the classic cream pearlescent card with ribbons, stick on pearls and diamante, while that’s exactly what many brides are looking for it’s just not what inkydoodle is about. We aim to be different, targeting brides who want something against the norm with clean crisp colourful print.
What services do you offer wedding couples?
We offer 2 types of service, ‘from the collection’ and ‘bespoke’.
Our collection is growing all the time, so quickly at the moment that I can’t update the website fast enough! Our facebook page currently holds more designs than the website! Many of the ranges in the collection are inspired by real weddings and they can all be tailored specifically to yours: we can recreate them in any colour with wording to suit you.
The bespoke service is very exciting, we work with the bride and groom or party/event organiser (don’t forget we do special event stationery too) to discuss their event theme, colour scheme, the couples likes & dislikes, their dress sense likes and dislikes, hobbies they have. Once we have all this information we go away and create 2 ideas, we then work with the couple to tweak their favourite design giving us the finished product - completely bespoke and 100% unique!
Our service is really personal; we prefer to discuss the couple’s requirements over the phone or via e-mail so we get their vision just right. A wedding is one of the most important days of a person’s life and the invitation is the first impression closest friends and family receive, it sets the scene for the main event.
