Styled Photo Shoot at Shilstone House, Devon

Posted in: In the Treehouse Blog on Thursday, August 16th, 2012

We were recently approached by Jenny of Jenny Rose Flowers, who asked us to provide some of our Vintage Bird stationery in peach & grey for a photo shoot at the beautiful Shilstone House, Devon. The styling of the day was vintage inspired with gorgeous soft & warm tones, stunning flowers and lovely cakes. Lucy Shergold captured the mood perfectly with the photography…

 

I love all these images and feel really proud to have our work featured – I hope you like them too, and please allow me to take this opportunity to thank Jenny for asking us to contribute.

DIY Treasure Box Frame for Mothers Day

Posted in: DIY by IN THE TREEHOUSE, In the Treehouse Blog on Saturday, March 24th, 2012

Feels so good to be blogging today – it’s been a while (something to do with a rather incredible week of sun, sea and relaxation in the Cape Verde Islands - more on that soon!). Anyway, I’ll now be making up for lost time with some exciting features coming up over the next few weeks – including the exquisite wedding photos of Matt (our very own Treehouse Keeper) & Leanne. I can’t wait for him to share them with you via his new blog feature ‘In the He House’.

I am incredibly gutted to have missed out on sharing some ideas for Mothers Day with you (again, blaming my week in the sun & crazy pre-holiday schedule for this!). Still, I will have double the features for next year I suppose. Even though I know the day has passed, I didn’t want it to go unmentioned on the blog – now where on Earth would we be without mums? I don’t know where to start! -

So although it’s a little bit late – to all the brilliant mums out there:

Isn’t it usually our mums who are supposed to dig out the old photo albums and show embarrassing photos to anyone who’ll feign interest? Today there’s a role reversal!
In many ways, my mum has been my biggest inspiration in life – and anyone who is lucky to know her will agree that she’s an incredible person – talented, creative, strong, beautiful (inside & out), kind & so supportive. I literally… don’t think In the Treehouse would have survived its first year if it wasn’t for her – In fact, of the 6,000 odd monthly visitors to our blog, I’m pretty sure a high percentage of ‘you’ is in fact, my lovely mum checking it over and over again. (Goodness knows how the hits will increase when she eventually upgrades the ancient Nokia mobile to an iPhone!)
To celebrate the occasion, I made this ’Treasure Box Frame’ (as I have aptly named it) for my mum on Mothers Day.
The photo is of her own mum and dad, Mr. & Mrs. H. Foley on their wedding day in 1947. It’s the only photo of the day we have and was being safely kept in a drawer somewhere, although never on display. I scanned it in, printed it out & displayed it with some other significant & pretty things in this lovely box frame… The beautiful frame is from The Range for £9.99 and has a lovely cushioned canvas inside so you can simply pin in your treasures. I included a piece of a vintage dress pattern, as my mum’s a fashion designer – this is also why I have added a bit of an old tape measure. There’s a pretty rose corsage, some scrabble tiles which I bought in bulk from ebay, a patterned tin heart, and some pretty ribbons, laces and airmail paper behind. The frame around the photo is from a charity shop – I just removed the backing and glass and glued the empty frame in there.
If you fancy giving this a go, other things you could use are brooches, pearls, old stamps (ebay is good for these), letters, pretty fabric, favourite recipes or song words – the list is endless, but really – anything that feels personal to you/the recipient. The great thing about this particular frame is that the front opens and then closes magnetically, so you can continue to add special things to it long after…
Following on from the DIY treasure box frame, I thought I’d show you the photo in clearer detail – Mr & Mrs Harold & Monica Foley, my Granny and Grandad on their wedding day in 1947. What a truly handsome couple they made. During this time of austerity shortly after WW2, it wasn’t uncommon for a Bride to wear a smart suit such as this one as opposed to a white wedding dress. Although the original photo remains safely tucked away in a drawer for protection, I’m so glad there’s now also a version on display in the box frame to be admired & cherished.
If you are inspired to make one of these – good luck and keep us posted

 

Preview of new range: ‘Key To My Heart’

Posted in: In the Treehouse Blog on Thursday, February 23rd, 2012

Hope everyone’s well today and enjoying the week – I must say, things here are all go! Our new Treehouse Keeper, Matt, has been in post for 2 weeks now and is doing an amazing job… I’m working on the existing orders I had before he started, and when they’re all in the post, I will only be taking on bespoke work, taking time to complete and update the website, paying a bit more attention to this little blog, and focusing more on the marketing side of things, which I’m really excited about. It will be lovely to have the time to work on these things, knowing that our lovely clients are being looked after by Matt. Regular readers may be aware that Matt will also be contributing a weekly feature for our blog and facebook page which will be for all the guys out there, and will include loads of great Groom-y, design focused and general man stuff! ‘In the He House’ is going live on Monday so do pop back then…

Anyway, just couldn’t wait to share a quick preview of a new range I’m working on called ‘Key to my Heart’ – I hope you like it! It’s vintage inspired with a changeable colour palette of blue (as seen here), apple green or pink. x

The moments we design for: Fiona & Mark

Posted in: In the Treehouse Blog on Friday, January 13th, 2012

So thrilled to be sharing some beautiful wedding photos from a lovely Bride and Groom we worked with in the autumn last year – Fiona & Mark have been together for over 10 years and are soon to be upping sticks to start a new life in Dubai with their two daughters. They invited friends and family to a Farewell Tea Party on 30/10/2011 and then by suprise, whisked all the guests off in a vintage Devon double decker bus to the church, where the Groom was awaiting the Bride’s arrival. To many of our readers, you yourselves are probably knee deep in wedding planning at the moment – now imagine you had to do it in complete secret. In a small town. Using local suppliers. But low and behold, they totally pulled it off and I’m sure that everyone who went would agree it was more than worth the effort!

Fiona & Mark were married in St. Eustatius’ Church, Tavistock, followed by a reception at their friends’ beautiful barn conversion in the countryside. Bright reds, deep pinks, purples and lilacs really complimented the vintage afternoon tea party styling.

We designed their ‘on the day’ stationery  to fit with the vintage theme, the hints of beautiful vivid colour as well as the travel theme to represent their impending move to Dubai…

Place settings were designed as vintage style luggage tags which make a lovely memento for guests to take home:

The beautiful old bus which transported the (unsuspecting) wedding party to the suprise ceremony..

We created a table plan for Fiona & Mark using a fabric-backed frame and pegging vintage style luggage tags to ribbons. These are great as after the big day, they can be used as a memo board at home, or a display for you to peg on special bits and pieces from the wedding with some photos.

Our heartfelt thanks go to Fiona & Mark for allowing us to share these beautiful photos, as well as to the talented photographer Tracey Wood for giving her permission for us to feature them on the blog.

Credits to the following suppliers who contributed their talents & services to the couple’s big day:

The Vintage Wedding Fayre – Devonport Guildhall, Plymouth

Posted in: In the Treehouse Blog on Tuesday, January 10th, 2012

Happy Tuesday everyone, hope you’re all well today… Just wanted to show you a poster we recently designed for the Vintage Wedding Fayre, which is taking place at Devonport Guildhall, Plymouth: As the title aptly describes, the theme for the event is vintage, which was the biggest inspiration for the poster… Hope you like it!

The design takes inspiration from vintage dress patterns – my mum being a fashion designer, I’ve grown up with lots of fashion illustrations and sketches around the house – (in fact, I think I’ll do a blog post about those soon!)

I chose a pale pink and green colour scheme to give it a soft, yet bright and eye catching look – it’s a colour scheme lots of our Brides and Grooms are planning for their big day too.

The fayre is set to be a great event, and I’m so excited about exhibiting there – it’ll be our first wedding show so we’re having fun planning our display and getting everything together already… Devonport Guildhall is a truly beautiful wedding venue I know there’ll be a great buzz about the place on 12/02 – loads of exciting bespoke suppliers are showing – all with a vintage theme. It’s also pretty rare to find a free wedding fayre these days, so make the most of it and come and say hello. x

 

Vintage-tin-tastic!

Posted in: In the Treehouse Blog on Wednesday, January 4th, 2012

Hello! Hope everyone’s well today.. In the spirit of keeping up my new years resolution of blogging every day – a little post on one of my little guilty pleasures in life – Vintage Tins. (There are worse guilty pleasures I suppose!). Vintage tins, with their washed out colours and intricate pattern and detail make fantastic decorations at a wedding or in the home, especially so when filled with lovely loosely arranged rustic flowers. Here’s an inspiration board to get you feeling a bit tin-tastic, like me!

Aren’t they beautiful? Over the last 6 months, I’ve been collecting a few of my own - until now, I haven’t bought any online as I’m a bit sad and like the feeling of satisfaction I get when I track one down in a junk shop or at the car boot! (I need to get out more!) I’m hoping to accumulate a big enough collection to lend out to our clients for use at their weddings…

Some of these I’ve found in charity shops or those recycled furniture shops,  - 3 tins for £1 was my best deal at a summer car boot - along with all these other vintage treats too…

If you’re searching on ebay – the best option if you need a fair few or don’t much like the ‘buzz’ of thrift shop/boot sale forraging (rock and roll!) then my best tip is to search for ‘old tin’ instead of ‘vintage tins’. The difference being that people who list them as old tins don’t seem to realise that the humble tin has recently staked a claim in wedding trends, so they go for around £2, whereas those listing them as vintage do, and they sell them accordingly for up to £25.  Here’s a few of my favourite reasonably priced tins on ebay at the moment. .. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/old-tins-/290653253457?pt=UK_Collectables_Advertising_ET&hash=item43ac48af51 / http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/old-tins-/290653266646?pt=UK_Collectables_Advertising_ET&hash=item43ac48e2d6 / Got a topic you’d like us to blog about? We’d love to hear from you… x

Circus Style invitation in print…

Posted in: In the Treehouse Blog on Wednesday, December 7th, 2011

Afternoon all – hope everyone’s well today! A quick blog post to show you some invitations which left our studio last week – seeing the first order for our new Cicus Style invitation and RSVP in print was really exciting and I managed to take a few quick pics before they were posted:

Sarah & Lyndon are lucky enough to be tying the knot at the beautiful Villa Catignano in Sienna, which is why we added the cute little plane motif on the reverse. The invitation is in a Coral & Navy colour scheme which I think gives it a lovely vintage feel.

Sarah & Lyndon also had their RSVPs in the shape and style of our Save the Date from the same range – the corners are all individually cut to give it that authentic ticket look – the cutting is definitely a labour of love – but worth it in the end.

Designing this was sooo much fun – I love playing around with typography and funky wording, and I know if I was one of Sarah & Lyndon’s guests, I’d feel pretty excited to receive this in the post!

On the day their stationery arrived, Sarah sent me a lovely email saying:

“Hi Jenny, Just wanted to drop you a note to say we got the invites today and they are absolutely fab! I felt like it was xmas day! They were wrapped so beautifully and we can’t thank you enough for all the effort you put into making them just what we want. Thanks again and we will be back in touch soon, Take care and Happy Christmas! Sarah & Lyndon xx”

I’m so lucky! The Brides & Grooms I get to work with are just lovely…

Sneaky peek of a new range – Vintage Postcard

Posted in: In the Treehouse Blog on Tuesday, November 29th, 2011

Just a quick hello this evening to show you a brand new design which we created for Vicki & Adrian, who are tying the knot in Parisien Chic style next year. Vicki got in touch with a lovely brief - basically of anything vintage, postcardy, Parisien, (they got engaged at the Eiffel Tower!), hydrangeas, bird cages & soft shades of pink, lilac & tiffany blue – and this is what we came up with! Vicki emailed me 10 minutes after I sent the initial design proof to say she loved it so much she’d cried at her desk! (She’s a girl after my own heart!)

Shown above is the front and reverse – hope you like it! x

The Moments We Design For…

Posted in: In the Treehouse Blog on Tuesday, November 22nd, 2011

 

Feeling very honoured to bring you some beautiful photos today, of a very special Bride & Groom – Elaine & Mark. Special in many ways, but for me in particular, the first ever couple to order wedding stationery from In the Treehouse after seeing us on the fabulous Love My Dress blog (www.lovemydress.net) back in April 2011. Elaine & Mark were a dream to work with in the run up to their September wedding at Gate Street Barn (http://www.gatestreetbarn.com/) in Surrey.

All photography is copyright Benjamin Toms Photography (http://www.benjamintomsphotography.co.uk/) – Ben’s work is absolutely BEAUTIFUL and so I’ll let the photos do the talking and just say that his website and galleries are definitely worth a visit!  Ben is happy to travel across the UK and further afield to shoot weddings.

 
Elaine & Mark had scrolls for their Orders of the Day, printed on extra thick, cream linen effect paper - which looked lovely tied in natural raffia and placed on chairs ready for the guests arrival. I just love this venue - Gate Street Barn (http://www.gatestreetbarn.com/) in Surrey. it’s so rustic, full of drama & ambience, & incredibly romantic.
(ABOVE): Elaine & Mark used our Vintage Style Luggage Tags as place cards, with a piece of fragrant rosemary to decorate.
All the ‘on the day’ stationery was designed to compliment the vintage theme, and tones of soft blues, greens, and yellows which formed the colour scheme.
Elaine & Mark named their tables after their favourite UK places, which is a lovely personal touch. I designed each card with the specific places in mind, while keeping to the general themes running throughout the stationery.
 
(Above): Elaine & Mark’s simple & informal, yet elegant & unique table plan, which we created in the vintage style to compliment their wedding colours.
(Above): Elaine & Mark’s yummy (and beautiful) sweet table – with our Sweet Love bunting to set the scene!
(ABOVE): The wedding cake – made of cheese! And  matching cheese menu to match…
To Elaine & Mark – I can’t thank you enough for sharing these wonderful photos with us all. No doubt many Brides will take inspiration from the beautiful details you so thoughtfully planned for your big day, and for me, it gives me a massive feeling of pride to see our stationery at your wedding. Wishing you both every happiness together.
 Thanks also to Ben Toms, the photographer who captured these moments in this way. I can’t recommend Ben enough, and aside from his photography, he’s a blooming nice bloke to boot! (http://www.benjamintomsphotography.co.uk/)
Finally, thanks to Annabel at Love My Dress (www.lovemydress.net), the best UK wedding blog (in my mind) and an invaluable resource in wedding planning & inspiration. If you hadn’t featured my work in those first weeks of our launch, Elaine & Mark may never have found us! x

Marie Antoinette style wedding inspiration…

Posted in: In the Treehouse Blog on Tuesday, November 15th, 2011

I recently had an email from a lovely Bride-to-be, Keira, who is busy planning a beautiful garden party wedding with a hint of Marie Antoinette and a whole lot of loveliness. She asked us to design something especially, to compliment her other ideas and incorporate her colour scheme of midnight blue, silver and pale pink. Of course, I was delighted to oblige and set about designing something to do her ideas justice. Then reality dawned – I realised I couldn’t really elude to the beauty of the Marie Antoinette theme, without including some figures in the style – and there’s one tricky thing about this: I am just no good at illustrating people and figures. It’s as simple as that – I have and probably always will find it really difficult. Still – it’s so essential to challenge yourself as a designer and resist the temptation to stay neatly in your comfort zone. So what’s the verdict? I’m happy to say, although it took some attempts, I’m so thrilled with the design, and love the little silhouette couple with their cheeky, flirty courtship stance. More importantly, the Bride and Groom loved it too – so much so they didn’t request a single amendment be made following the inital proof.

I’ve pieced together this little inspiration board below, to showcase a bit of this lovely, timeless wedding theme, with hues of soft blues, pinks, silver grey and ivory.

Suprise Wedding Sneak Preview:

Posted in: In the Treehouse Blog on Sunday, October 30th, 2011

On Saturday morning, we had the rare privilege of setting up all the ‘on-the-day’ stationery for the lovely Fiona & Mark – (we don’t often get the chance to help Brides prepare the wedding venue in this way as the vast majojrity of our clients aren’t Devon-based). It’s such a joy to see the process right through to the end, and get a real feel for the impact of the stationery in context, amongst other lovely details.

Today was extra special, as Fiona & Mark’s guests actually thought they were attending a Farewell Tea Party, in advance of their impending move to Dubai – yes, that’s right – they actually pulled the whole thing off as a complete suprise! I can’t think of a more memorable, romantic start to this new chapter in their life…

Here’s a sneaky peak of the venue as we were setting up:

ABOVE: Fiona & Mark’s wedding was styled as a vintage tea party with hints of purple – we incorporated this into the stationery with an antique paper background, bird cages, vintage keys & hints of airmail postcard details to symbolise their move to Dubai.

 ABOVE: We created this table plan using a polkadot charcoal fabric background, a mixture of ribbon, lace & twine in purples & lavenders, vintage style, oversized luggage tags & mini pegs, all set in a beautiful white ornate frame. This is also a really practical way of achieving a pretty table plan, as if worst comes to worst & you have a dramatic change in seating arrangement, all you have to do is get the tags printed again, or if time doesn’t allow for this, turn them over & borrow someone with great handwriting to lend their skills…

 

 ABOVE: This lovely barn conversion in the heart of the Devonshire countryside was the perfect backdrop for Fiona & Mark’s suprise wedding tea party.

 

ABOVE: Our lovely design apprentice, Lily busy perfecting the stationery on the tables – and lucky for us, she really is a perfectionist! Big thanks to Lily, whose help this morning turned out to be really invaluable.

I know the photographer got some great shots so I won’t post any more for now, in the hope that Fiona & Mark will share some of the official ones with us soon…  Watch this space!

The Vintage Tea Party book, by Angel Adoree

Posted in: In the Treehouse Blog on Wednesday, September 28th, 2011

Just a quick blog post today to share with you all my love for this beautiful book:

A friend gave it me as a for-no-reason-in-particular gift (definitely the best kind!)… I simply love it. It’s crammed full with beautiful design, illustration and vintage goodness, and has some great ideas about how to bring that touch of nostalgia to our lives. I think tea parties are the way forward & cannot wait to show you the Bridal Tea Party photos from an event I recently styled - impatiently, I’ll have to wait until they have been published in a forthcoming issue of You & Your Wedding magazine.

I think this book would make a great gift for a Bridesmaid, a mother of the Bride, or even a Bride as a wedding gift… Or of course, for yourself! It’s available at Waterstones for £16.99. Here are just a few of my favourite pages from the book, although I could have photographed every single one quite happily!

Bridal Fashion Editorial Photo Shoot…

Posted in: In the Treehouse Blog on Tuesday, September 27th, 2011

So many of the Brides & Grooms-to-be found us in a recent edition of You & Your Wedding Magazine through the bridal fashion editorial featuring our ‘Vintage Bird’ stationery range in shades of duck egg blue and peach… The good news is, the wonderful Rock My Wedding blog has today published LOADS more photos of the day, the divine details and the stationery we provided. It makes me feel so warm & fuzzy inside to see my designs nestling in with such beauty & elegance, and is without a doubt one of the best rewards of my lovely business. I love the details Helen Carter put together for the shoot – not only are they absolutely, jaw droppingly beautiful – they’re also cost effective and relatively easy for Brides-to-be to replicate. View the photos and read all about Helen’s inspiration at http://www.rockmywedding.co.uk/everythings-just-peachy/.

A Bicycle Made for Two…

Posted in: In the Treehouse Blog on Tuesday, September 27th, 2011

Nothing quite says romance, nostalgia and excitement as much as a newly wed Bride & Groom riding off into the sunset on tandem… I must say, personally I would need a lot of practice as I’ve never been that ‘at one’ with bikes, let alone while wearing a wedding dress! I just love the idea though, and I’m pretty sure it’s a send off that your wedding guests would never forget!

This ‘On Tandem’ Save the Date is a new addition to our range – it feautures a vintage inspired illustration of a tandem, with antique paper background, bunting & a bright rose motif. The corners are hand finished to create a lovely rounded effect and it comes paired with a matching Cerise envelope. Hope you like it!

Thank You Gift…

Posted in: In the Treehouse Blog on Tuesday, September 20th, 2011

Firstly, apologies for the lack of blog-love I’ve been putting out there lately – it’s been so incredibly busy here, with lots of Brides & Groom’s placing last minute orders for these coming weekends. They’re all done now though, so life returns to normal… I wanted to share with you this lovely thank you gift I was given this week for helping out with my lovely friend Leanne’s wedding on Saturday -

It’s a box full of vintage goodies, including some tiny, beautiful perfume bottles (one called ‘A Night In Paris’ following our suprise hen night extravaganza in Paris – see the below blog post), a lovely photo frame with a picture of us, some Rouge, a lace handkerchief, a beautiul brooch and a (real) vintage Parisian postcard… Such a gorgeous, thoughtful gift, don’t you think? x

Airmail Wedding Stationery Set

Posted in: In the Treehouse Blog on Wednesday, August 31st, 2011

Just a quick post today to show you Paul & Natara’s airmail wedding stationery, which has just been sent out to their guests. I just love the romance of this set when you see it all together, and there are so many personal touches…

The Bride is Australian, & the Groom an English gent, so we incorporated loads of personal touches including the little flight map on the invitation (below) and the caption ‘A love story that goes the distance…’

The RSVP (below) was inspired by a vintage postcard & telegram, to fit with the travel theme. I love the idea of having space for guests to write such a personal message on the back of an RSVP as it makes them a real keepsake, and great for putting in to a guest book or memory box. The Sydney Harbour Bridge telegram is another little nod to the Bride’s Aussie heritage, making it even more personal.

Below is a photo of the evening / 2nd day invitation from the range, which ties both the RSVP and invitation together… Check out the cute perforated hog roast voucher!

The final piece in the range is the vintage in-flight style menu… Aeroplane food never looked so good! To compliment the rest of the stationery, the Bride & Groom wanted to keep the design really simple whilst still being cohesive. The menus were sent out with the invitations so guests could RSVP with their choices.

 

Hopefully this gives you an idea of how flexible our ranges can be, and how we can work with you to create the best and most personal set for your own wedding.

Save the Date with a Vintage Style Circus Ticket!

Posted in: In the Treehouse Blog on Monday, July 18th, 2011

 

I had so much fun designing these for Sammi & Anton (a very cool couple I might add). They wanted something a little bit vintage, a little bit circus, and a little bit ticket-y! So funnily enough, I came up with a vintage style circus ticket… In fact, I’m so excited about it that I’ll be desigining a whole new range based on the concept soon, and will keep you posted… Just to let you know, the colour scheme, and all wording is adaptable to suit your preference.
