We talk to Bailey & Beau, a wedding stationery company with creativity at its heart

Please give us an overview of your business and what makes you different?
Bailey & Beau represents the all the loves in my life. The love of working with people, discovering their stories, and the love of helping them to bring their visions to life. We are strongly focused on customer service, and have a "nothing is too much trouble" attitude, and we work with our clients every step of the way. We also believe that luxury shouldn't have to cost the earth and try to provide affordable and quality products that don't break the bank.  

What's your background and why did you launch your business?
I created Bailey & Beau in 2014 as a creative outlet to design all kinds of lovely things as an escape for my every day job of a junior Graphic Designer straight out of Uni. As you can imagine laying out type in to 100 page documents wasn't the most exciting thing in the world to do everyday! Now a fews years later I'm growing as a small business and I get to have fun while doing it, and to me, theres no better work in life! Its amazing to be able to work with new people everyday and help them create a vision for their wedding day.

What's your favourite type of wedding to work on?
It's alway nice to work along side couples who would like bespoke designs. We have a lot of house styles that we personalise, however when we get to have a bit of creative freedom and design an invitation suite from scratch based on a few ideas, its amazing to see the reaction of the couple when they view if for the first time and its everything they wanted!

What's your top tip for couples planning a wedding?
Add a fun question to the RSVP, it helps guests feel involved in the festivities from the moment they open your invite! Ask for their favourite dance song or drink of choice and enjoy reading their responses.

Also, purchase more than you need. So if there is anyone you have forgotten, it's covered and so you have one for your photographer to capture on the day. Plus you would have a spare, to keep one for yourself as a memory.

What's the most common question couples ask you?
The question we are asked all the time is "Can we change the colour scheme?", most of our couples like to personalise the designs to fit their needs and we are more than happy to oblige. We will work them to incorporate their colours schemes, ideas and design a unique, individual invitation that they love!
