So it’s not that much of a secret around here that we are stationery obsessed. No matter what the occasion, we love a beautiful invite.

One of our favourite stationery designers is Cass Deller, a super talented designer who creates the most stylish watercolour wedding invitation suites.

So we sat down and had a look through her gorgeous collection and picked out three of our favourite styles!

  1. The Botanical Collection

2. The Classic Collection

3. The Floral Collection

We’re actually super excited Cass is going to be creating invitations exclusively for A Darling Affair,  for something special we have coming up… we can’t wait to show you! Make sure you head on over to her website to have a look through her full design portfolio.

Little Duck Calligraphy

Get ready to feel inspired!

Little Duck Calligraphy grew from the love for the art of calligraphy that artist Tess found when she was planning her own wedding. As a self-confessed history nerd and bookworm, she found herself in awe of the gorgeous script seen in old love letters and notes from generations past and knew that she wanted those timeless touches as part of her own day. This started a sweeping love affair with calligraphy and Tess soon dedicated herself to learning and growing her skills and quickly expanded to include sketching and watercolour paint.

Tess is highly sought after for creative collaboration both in Australia and internationally and has been featured in magazines across the globe. Brides and grooms turn to Little Duck Calligraphy because of Tess’s focus behind creating their stationery and the emphasis that she puts on making them the centre of the creative process.  She works together in a partnership with each and every client to create the wedding stationery of their dreams, from save the dates to thank you notes and everything in between.

Tess will be at the Sunshine Coast Wedding Fair sharing some of her jaw-dropping work and answering any burning questions that you may have for her, so be sure to grab your tickets now! To see more from Little Duck Calligraphy, you can find Tess on Facebook or visit her website.
