And that’s a wrap…

Yesterday, I farewelled the last piece of stationery for my very last wedding 🥹

✨ long post incoming ✨

I started this little business way back in 2015! Since then, so much has changed, we moved to the South West, added a fur baby to the family, bought a house, got married and are living life with our busy 1 year old. All the while, steadily growing my business.

Since welcoming our boy into the world I have been unsure about what it meant for my business. Will I still have time to design on my days off? Without a clear plan in mind, I put off the decision (whatever it was)… that was future Emma’s problem! 💁🏽‍♀️

For the last 18+ months I have been turning away bookings, still with only a vague plan in mind, barely resisting the temptation to fill up my calendar again. But now I have arrived at the ever-elusive ‘light at the end of the bookings tunnel’, with an empty calendar ahead… turns out, it’s a really bittersweet day for me. 😔

It might not seem like much from the outside but over the years I have poured so much of myself into my business to get it to this point, which I am extremely proud of. It has always been a side hustle, and now I am perched at the spot I hoped I would get to when I first started… ready to take it to the next level… but instead of a leap of faith, I am choosing to step back and close my doors.

This business has taught me so much more than I ever imagined, resilience, hard work, navigating the s**t show that was COVID during what was supposed to be my biggest season, knowing when to cut my losses and when to stick up for myself, showing up… always showing up.

Thank you to the 200+ couples that have chosen me throughout the years, and those who went on to recommend me to their friends and family! The amazing vendors I have met and worked with, especially those who always recommended me to their clients. A huge thank you to the other stationers, all over Australia who have been there from the start 🙏 Thank you for the encouragement and support from you all. I’ll never be able to express how much it means to me 💕

But now it’s time to say goodbye… at least for the time being 👋🏼

A change of pace is on the cards for me and my business for the 2021 / 22 season 🥰

Ash and I are excitedly (and a little nervously) awaiting the arrival of our first baby later this year ✨

I have found it so difficult to turn away all new enquiries for the 2021 / 22 season but I know it is for the best as I will be completely absorbed, learning the ropes in my new role!

Thank you to those who have put up with some delayed response times over the last few weeks while I have been unwell 🥴

If you’ve booked me for the 2021 / 22 season already you will already have heard from me (if not, check your junk!!).

For now, it is business as usual as I see out the rest of this season! Thank you all for the continued support in my business, it means the absolute world to me and will allow me to take some precious extra time off 🤗

Merry Christmas everyone ✨

4 weeks until Christmas!! 🤯 one minute I was being told ‘it’s too early for Christmas carols Emma’ and now it’s less than a month away! 🎄 This means there’s 3 weeks until I’m officially clocking off (unless you’re one of my late Dec / early Jan brides) which means I have only 6 *official* working days left for this year (for my business, I obviously work more than that 🤪).

Anyway, here is a relaxing photo of my rose gold foil ~ with love ~ stickers 😌

It’s been a while since I last posted! The last few weeks have been crazy with so many new enquiries (thank you 😍), a few last minute jobs worked in there somewhere, not to mention all the things out side of work, (aka my personal life) I usually try to take on less in the lead up to this busy time of year - particularly after the year that has been - but once again I’ve completely ignored my own advice and said yes to all the jobs 😅💁🏽‍♀️🤭 oops!

So I thought it was the right time to pause everything and make something just for me ☺️ I’ve been wanting to use this shape for a while (any one else put off personal projects because they feel like it’s a waste of time?) and what better way to see out the rest of the spring season (how is it nearly gone already?!) than with this cutie 🥰🌸🌻

Now is also a good time for the friendliest of reminders that this is not my full time job, it’s my side hustle. I absolutely love it (or I wouldn’t spend all my free time doing this) but I can sometimes not keep up with the tight turnaround of email replies that you may come to expect from other vendors who do theirs full time. And I’ve realised that’s 100% ok, I’m not going to stress myself out or make my self feel guilty over a slight delay in reply! I am 1 human, there’s is physically only so many hours in my day. If there’s one thing my Virgo brain likes, it’s a well organised inbox so rest assured you’re in an orderly line 🙃 (and that orderly line will also prioritise impending weddings, for obvious reasons)

If you’ve made it to the end of this caption, thanks for reading ✨ I’d love to know what you do when you want a pause from the every day routine?

I’ve been trying to do at least one of these things every day: look after my little seedlings (vege garden coming soon), practice lettering / drawing on my iPad, reading, and now it’s warm, going to the beach instead of just sitting outside for lunch because I ‘don’t have time to go to the beach’ 🏝 📖 ✍🏼 🌱

Happy Thursday ✨

Small amount of pink (well, technically ‘peach’ 🍑) in the afternoon sunlight with that warm candlelight 🕯 while sitting amongst one of many arrangements... if some one could just replicate this for their wedding and then invite me to sit right here and eat with cutlery under feature lighting while floats around snapping all the ~moments~ that would be great, thanks 💁🏽‍♀️

Almond menus ~ they go with any styling & table colour palette: light enough that they’re not in your face or stealing the spotlight from your other table decor but just dark enough so they stand out from white plates / linen 👌🏼 so basically, it’s the perfect neutral 💁🏽‍♀️
