Welcome to Lucy Ledger Designs.

I am an illustrator with a BA Hons degree who specialises in designing vintage scrapbook inspired stationery. I am currently based in Sheffield but can take orders worldwide. I work out of my little studio at Ivy Cottage where the design and print process takes place and all my cards are digitally designed by myself. I enjoy creating bespoke designs made to order so please feel free to contact me if you have a request! You can now follow me on Facebook and Twitter ...where I will keep you updated on my new designs and upcoming events!

A couple of weeks ago I provided some stationery for a fantastic photoshoot. Sheffield based wedding photographers PH wedding photography & wedding planners The Wedding Daze teamed up to offer a lucky bride and bridesmaids a once in a lifetime opportunity: to live a day in the life of the Sex and the City girls in Sheffield. It was a great day and I was really happy to be involved along with lots of wonderful local suppliers.

The shoot was also blogged by English Wedding so have a peek over there to see the details!

Today I have launched my two new wedding collections; 'Sail away' and 'Divine Deco' you can now find them in the Wedding Boutique and samples are available to order! They are the result of a trip to my favourite seaside village that I blogged about a couple of weeks ago - if you haven't read it click here to see my inspiration for these designs!

I have some lovely blog features written about my designs recently from some great suppliers from the wedding industry such as; The Wedding Daze, The Wedding Genie and Poppy Sparkles who did some really amazing reviews of my wedding stationery and bloggers such as Little Miss Wedding who did a lovely article on my new Sail Away collection. Thank you everyone, it had been lovely to be featured by you. See all the links via my Facebook page:

After spending a fabulous weekend away with my husband and family in Wales I have become inspired by what I found there! Firstly the Art Deco hotel was amazing! It had been totally restored to its former glory and the owners had displayed artefacts and original photographs from the era around the corridors and it was just lovely. I spent a lot of time wandering up and down in awe- and don't get me started on the view- wow! I think the photos above say it all. The hotel and the artefacts really inspired me to introduce an Art Deco style range to my current wedding collection; I only hope I can do that amazing era justice!

I LOVE the sea. I always have done, it is the one thing that Sheffield is lacking! Being by the sea in Barmouth is wonderful. I am very attached to this little seaside town anyway as I spent every summer holiday there as a child and the place holds very happy memories for me and all my family. It was lovely to introduce David to it and see him love it as much as I do. One place in particular I wanted to introduce David to is 'Davy Jones Locker'. It is a wonderful little cafe that has stacks of character and is filled to the brim with nautical memorabilia and rustic loveliness. We ate breakfast there in the mornings looking out over the harbour at a beautiful view.

All this had me thinking how wonderful it would be to get married by the sea and how the British seaside is often overlooked- I do agree the weather is is very unpredictable but the history is just inspiring. Since we got back I have been working on a seaside style wedding range that I will be adding to my collection shortly. I am very excited about it and I am am happy to say the range will be showcased next week on a very lovely vintage inspired wedding blog so watch this space!

I headed down to Shottle Hall in Derbyshire on Sunday for my first wedding exhibition- an open day organised by the gorgeous girls at Save The Date magazine. I dragged along my gorgeous little sister to be a glamorous assistant and we had a great day! We had lots of interest in the company, including some fab bookings, met some lovely people and ate far too much ice cream!!!

It was lovely to finally meet Lydia and Abbie from Save the Date and what an amazing venue Shottle Hall is! It made me want to get married again!

Here's to the next one! xx
