Q What is your advice on a spring wedding?
A Laura Baker says: Spring weddings are all about embracing the season's fresh, vibrant energy and your stationery is the perfect way to set the tone. I love working on spring-inspired designs; it's such a joy to bring this season to life on paper.

Florals are always a favourite at this time of year. From delicate wildflowers to bright, mixed colours, they create an immediate connection to the beauty of spring. Adding floral elements to your invitations not only makes them stunning but also gives your guests a little sneak peek into the theme of your big day.

Then there are the finishing touches, those small but mighty details that bring a stationery suite together. Think coloured envelopes, belly bands or silk knots and wax seals. These all add a pop of coordinating colour and gives a touch of luxury to your invitations.

One of my favourite stationery pieces is envelope liners! They're a brilliant way to carry your spring theme even further. Whether it's extra florals or a custom illustration of your venue in all its springtime glory, they make opening the envelope a real 'wow' moment.

Spring weddings are magical, and your stationery can be too. Whether you're a lover of bold, bright designs or prefer something softer and more delicate, the season offers endless inspiration.

Q What advice can you share regarding creating beautiful stationery for our spring wedding?
A Abigail Heron says: Whether you're planning something simple and elegant or fun and out-of-this-world, gorgeous lilacs and light pink florals with hints of nude and sage are unanimous across the board. This spring, we'll see more custom-cut stationery (circles, squares, arches and wavy edges) and more unique materials to print them on! Acrylic is all the rage right now, but we suspect more bespoke creations like engraved wood and even metal to make an appearance. The idea is that if it can be printed on, it will be.

Of course, folded invitations will continue to be a main choice for many, and why not? They're eco-friendly, efficient and offer the option to provide more information all in one go, making this a budget-friendly alternative as well.

With the endless options available to nearlyweds, we recommend picking something unique to you! There are no rules for stationery anymore, so choose a colour scheme, theme and design that represents you both − your guests will love it!
