and one to celebrate the great day – your names & date & “Just Married” for example.
There’s never been a better time to order - 3 SIGNS FOR THE PRICE OF 2
You can also use this offer if you’d like more than 3 signs – we’ll
knock a third off the price – order 6 you’ll only pay for 4 for example.

The elves are in their workshop....
Christmas is in the air in the Love Letters household. We are all about glitter and sparkles this year along with paper roses and cinnamon sticks!!
Paper Roses courtesy of Leanne's obsession with all things Kirstie Allsopp!!!! Instead of the box of dried rose petals or a scattering of diamante we are thinking a scattering of paper roses on the table along with some beautifully decoupaged wooden table numbers. Add some red candles and some scented dark red roses. Winter wedding theme - DONE!! (as Gordon Ramsey would say!)
On the wedding decor front we are now searching high and low for vintage items to hire out to our lovely brides. Our latest finds are a vintage Polaroid camera and some gorgeous art deco mirrors which we are going to turn in to table plans.
We've also got a thing about berries. The hedgegrow's are full of them. It's too early to start creating a Christmas wreath but it's not too early to make a stunning arrangement for the house. This is Sunday's project. Combined with a lovely walk in the crispy country air. Watch this space for the outcome. Am aiming for: -

Wine Charms
It's all about the champagne. Corks popping, bubbles forming, fizz fizzing, guests quaffing. Now with our new hand made wine charms you can add a little bit of unique to your champagne/wine glasses.
We will hand create as many little charms as you require. You let us know the letters you would like, choose a colour for the letter to be painted, choose pearls, choose diamante, choose a ribbon colour to match your scheme. Decide whether you would like the charm to hang from the top of the glass or whether you'd like it to clip around the stem. We leave all the choices to you. Your wish is our command!! They are our new favourite piece to create.
Currently we are working on a beautiful silver and ivory scheme with ivory letters, pearls and silver ribbon. The charms look stunning.
We will keep striving to find more unique items to add to your wedding.

Compliments
Just a few of the many kind responses we've had from our lovely customers over the last year.
I just wanted to send you a quick email to say thank you for the lovely Mr and Mrs letters you made us for our wedding.
http://lovelettersdirect.weebly.com/index.html
Our letters are fantastic! The hotel were very impressed and said they hadn't seen anything like it before! We got lots of compliments on them. They were placed on the fireplace behind us on the top table, so once we get the pics back we'll send you one with them showing.
My letters have just arrived................ they are absolutely wicked, I love them.
I just wanted to send you a quick email to say thank you for the lovely Mr and Mrs letters you made us for our wedding.
Just discovered your fantastic website and have just ordered my MR & MRS in ivory shabby chic, and your description above is just what I'm after with the inclusion of lace and pearls to add a touch of glamour! I can't wait...only a year to go! ha ha!
The letters were fab – the bride was really chuffed when I gave them to her the day before the wedding when we were decorating the marquee. Unfortunately over the course of the evening some of the letters went missing. They turned up the next day outside the church (the marquee was in the field next to the church)... someone had used them to spell out 'arse'. Thankfully the brides dad is the vicar and thought it was all quite amusing!
The numbers arrived yesterday and they look great! Thank you.
Just want to say a huge thank you for the letters you sent for our wedding. They were just what we wanted and we received many comments. I have passed your details to quite few people so hopefully you may receive some more orders in the future.

A wedding for under £5000
Why is it that weddings seem to cost the earth? Everything about weddings is expensive. Here are just a few ways that you could reduce the cost of your wedding from £20,000 to £5,000 in a few simple steps.
1. The dress – think about how important this is to you. To me it was pretty important, but the thought of spending £100’s or £1000’s on one outfit made me shudder. We simply could not afford for me to go mad and buy a boutique designer dress. I decided, and would highly recommend looking at high street dresses. I was totally surprised by the excellent quality of them. I ended buying a stunning Grecian style dress from Very.com for £200. I have just recently found and fell in love with the copy of The Duchess of Cambridge’s wedding dress from BHS. It is gorgeous and yes I know that £500 is still quite a lot of money. But compared to the average boutique dress it is a bargain. Decide where you think your money could be best spent but please do remember the high st when looking.
2. The venue – go to every wedding fayre you can. They are great fun and really are informative. Not only do you get to meet loads of different suppliers and collect information to look at later, but you get the best deals offered from the venues too. DO NOT BOOK YOUR WEDDING UNTIL YOU GO TO THE WEDDING FAYRE! You’ll find (like we did) that venues often reduce their prices especially for wedding fayres. We got a bargain. The brochure price on weddings at our venue was £7000, we couldn’t afford that.. We found a deal for a set amount of guests for £3000. Then we went to the wedding fayre and they were offering the same deal for £2750 – we snapped it up! Make sure that you check for the extras like linen hire and drinks. If these aren’t included they soon add up. Ask if there is a toast master provided. Be cheeky – they want your booking!!
3. Flowers – If like me these are very important to you then you want to spend a fair bit of your budget here. The best ways to reduce costs on flowers is to keep to a season. If you are getting married in January don’t ask for Peonies or sweet peas as they will be very expensive. Ask for more foliage to pad out the arrangements and ask the florist to use big blooms like Hydrangeas as they make the arrangements look fuller for less cost.
4. Venue decorations – Consider what the chairs at your venue look like. Do they really need chair covers? Maybe you could buy a reel of ribbon in your colour scheme and tie them around the chairs the night before. This would cost £25 and a bit of time rather than £250 for covers!! Check out our wooden letters for an alternative to flowers.
5. Cake – Consider buying a cake from Waitrose or Marks and Spencers. They are fabulous cakes and you can add your own decorations to them. Use ribbon or stick on some chocolate buttons to make a polka dot cake. This will save you £100’s.

Winter weddings
Now that winter is here, there will be many brides planning for a wonderful winter wedding. What could be nicer than a fur stole and sparkly jewellery combo with snow on the ground and the smell of Christmas in the air.
There are many colour schemes and themes that work for a winter wedding.
I really love the idea of a totally white wedding - not just the dress but the flowers too. They could be pure white roses, with some green ivy trailing down with a few dainty snow drops mixed in. Or go with the ever increasing trend of brooch bouquets which really shine in the winter sunshine. Maybe some mistletoe sprigs hanging from the door frames or even as the button holes. A must have would be a big sparkly (maybe snowflake style) tiara and a beautifully embellished dress. The groom could wear a black tuxedo style outfit with a crisp white shirt. A set of vintage ivory MR & MRS letters would look fabulous lined up along the fireplace above a roaring fire with ivy entwined around the over mantle mirror. The choices are endless – how about ‘LOVE’ in metallic silver and covered in glitter to add an extra sparkle.
Or what about a full on red and gold theme with Christmas tree’s standing to attention outside the main door and glasses of sherry to greet your guests. Twinkling fairy lights are a must!!! A daring red wedding dress with a beautiful bouquet of Ivory roses, or a gold wedding dress with bright red flowers to match Swags of holly on each picture frame and over the mirror would look stunning. Make sure you get ones with plenty of red berries on. Friends and family might have them in their garden so you won’t have to pay florist prices for these!! Instead of flowers for the centrepieces, vases could be filled with red and gold baubles which will glisten under the candle light. Wrap the favour boxes in red and gold wrapping paper and make them look like little Christmas presents. Maybe some miniature liqueurs would go down well inside! Here at Love Letters we have a choice of gold letters – gold leaf or antique gold. We can do any red that you can think from pillar box to burgundy. Imagine your new surname sparkling on the fireplace.
For an extra sparkle how about some diamante covered letters spelling out the word ‘AMOUR’. These really glisten in any light.
The choice is yours, but whatever theme you are planning for your winter wedding look to Lovelettersdirect.weebly.com for your unique wedding décor.
