Full Description
I am a watercolourist, but also use a lot or inks in my work as well as digital art. I take great pleasure in creating stationery and quirky favours that reflect the style of the wedding and the venue, and try to capture the essence of your wedding in an image that your friends and family will want to keep. I am happy to undertake work for same sex couples and for themed weddings.
I am also a calligrapher, and can personalise your invitations by hand.
Personal Message from the Manager
Name of Wedding Contact: Deb Borrett
Congratulations on your engagement! On social media I see lots of messages from couples about how stressed they are over choosing simple things like invitations as the choice is overwhelming. I would like to help remove some of that stress and pressure by guiding you gently through the design process, and tailoring everything to your needs, creating for you bespoke wedding stationery that you will delight in sending out to your family and friends.

Gone down so well
I approached Deb to make some rock’n’roll themed wedding stationery. She designed a whole set for us, and once the photo had been released in Instagram it was reposted world wide including by Wedstock Australia

Our bespoke Christmas invites
We saw Inked by Hand’s reindeer Christmas cards advertised on Etsy and thought they would be perfect for our wedding. We contacted Deb and asked if she could make us some special Christmas cards using the reindeer what we could also send out as our wedding invitations. She did an amazing job. Deb kept us in the loop and sent us lots of proofs before printing off and sending through our special cards. Brilliant service

Baby blessing and vow renewal
We had arranged a pregnancy blessing, which turned into a spontaneous vow renewal. We wanted to post something out to inform our friends and family so our celebrant recommended we approach Deb at Inked by Hand to design something for us. We were thrilled with the cards she made for us - perfect for our 1920’s themed vow renewal / baby blessing..... and we were even on the rock’n’roll bride blog as a real wedding feature. Professional service and wonderful product
