Each year, all across the world St. Patrick’s Day is celebrated by those that are Irish and those that want to express the love the the Irish.
Who was St. Patrick?
St. Patrick is the Patron Saint of Ireland. He is known as the person that banished snakes from Ireland. He is synonymous with Ireland and being Irish.
St. Patrick’s Day is a celebration of Ireland and what it means to be Irish. People march in brightly coloured parades and Irish music and dancing are enjoyed by all.
The Irish language
Do you know that there is an Irish language, called Gaeilge? Irish is spoken in many parts of the country and is taught in the majority of schools. Irish people are proud of their language and you will notice signs around the country that show the way in both Irish and English.
Gra means love in Irish, or as we say ‘as gaeilge’.
Love of the Irish…
The Irish are known as a friendly bunch of people, that love to have the craic (fun) and spread gra (love) wherever they go.
To celebrate St. Patrick’s Day and to add some Irish language to your home, we’ve created a simple, stylish A4 size poster for you. You can download the poster, print it and frame it.
2019 will bring new Wedding Trends and extensions and embellishments on existing Wedding Trends from 2018.
Custom Monograms
Every couple wants to make their day unique and what better way to do so than to create your own custom monogram. You can do this by either incorporating both of your initials or by using your new family surname initial. Custom monograms will not only be spotted on top of the Wedding Cake but will be included on items like handkerchiefs, Wedding Stationery , Wedding Decor and candles.
Wedding Stationery
We have created a range of modern Wedding Stationery with an Industrial Style custom monogram. The range is called Ma Vie (My Life) and features a combination of the couples’ first initials with the year they are getting married.
We love these wedding stationery trends and will be delighted to work with you to incorporate them into your wedding invitation design! Contact us to discuss your Wedding Stationery.
Handkerchiefs
A beautiful keepsake for your day is an embroidered handkerchief. You could get matching ones for both you and your new husband to be. Another beautiful idea is an embroidered handkerchief for your Mum to remember your big day. My sister got one for my Mum and I know it will be treasured forever.
Cake Topper
Custom monogram cake toppers can be made to match your Wedding Stationery, there are a fantastic range available in materials from plastic to metal and wood. There are so many styles available on Etsy and Pinterest, as always though it’s nice to source locally.
2019 will bring more and more opulent cakes including additions like:
personalised monograms
metallic touches, and
regal piping
Personalised Monograms
Custom monograms will be seen as cake toppers but also incorporated onto the cake itself. Sugar leaves, icing and foiling will all be very popular additions to wedding cakes this year as a way to add monograms.
Metallic Touches
Metallic touches will be seen throughout the wedding decor. We will see a move away from pretty pastels with a bigger focus on gold and silver. Rose gold was a large focus over the past few years but silver will shine in 2019.
Metallic touches will be reflected in the spaces that couples choose for their venue. Industrial spaces will be popular with a move indoors and away from the ever-popular ‘Rustic Outdoors’ which was so very popular in 2018.
In line with a move towards more industrial style spaces, our Ma Vie Wedding Stationery range ties in perfectly with this style, including a custom monogram with an edgy style.
Regal Piping
2018 was a wonderful year for a rustic style wedding but regal piping will be popular this year and feature on many opulent wedding cakes. Tall cakes with detailed icing will be on trend and spotted at many Wedding Venues throughout 2019.
Scent your Wedding
One accessory we expect to see an increase in during 2019 is candles. Scenting your wedding will be a big Wedding Trend in 2019.
A Scent to Remember
Scents evoke memories and what better way for you and your new husband to remember your special day than to have a candle scent which brings back all those special memories. You could look at creating your own wedding scent or use one that you already love. Candles can be included in your dressing area, at the Church and on the tables throughout the reception. The uniform scent will remind people of your wonderful Wedding Day.
Scented Favours
An extension of this idea is to gift your guests and bridal party a Wedding Favour of a candle with your wedding day scent. This special gift is something that will be used again and again and your Day will leave a lasting memory in their homes too.
Valentine’s Day – you either love it or you hate it! What do you think of the day?
Love it!
We’re all for love here at Hello Snowflake Designs. We believe stationery needs to be something special – something that has a clear message and something to keep.
You wouldn’t find us in the card aisle, picking a sparkly Valentine’s Day card. No, no – we don’t believe in ‘Hallmark’ holidays.
Show love…
We believe the meaning of the day is what is important, showing love, expressing gratitude and creating that exciting feeling of butterflies in the tummy.
To celebrate Valentine’s Day and to ensure you don’t have to spend your hard-earned money on a sparkly card, we’ve created a simple, pretty Valentine’s Day card which gets across the exact message you need to convey – “BE MY VALENTINE”.
For love and for fun
You can download and print two cards. Why two cards you might ask?? Well we think you need one for your love and another for fun – I know my daughter would love to get one of these from me and it would make her day extra special. Simply print the A4 page on cardstock and cut out each card, fold and voila – you are ready to go!
Frame it!
Do you keep cards? I like the simplicity of this card and think it would look quite pretty in a frame on the wall or on your desk.
