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 few months ago I was reading Rock n Roll Bride's blog and I stumbled across the work of Emma Case. I fell immediately in love with her style of photography. It was about that time when I was looking for a unique way to showcase my wedding collection at exhibitions and I thought it would be a great idea if Emma could do some publicity shots for me.

As we exchanged emails we thought it would be fun to incorporate a 'rock the dress' style shoot in with it (any excuse to wear my wedding dress again!)

The day was fantastic; Emma and I, along with my amazing make up artist, Lynsay from Greenfield and Beck roamed the local area and visited some of my favourite places; a wheat field near our wedding venue, a farmers yard amongst other places in the beautiful village of Wentworth, even my favourite emporium! We then returned to the cottage garden for the product shots.

I have met alot of fantastic wedding vendors in the last six months and when I was organising the shoot I thought it might be nice to bring some of my favourite suppliers together. The response was amazing and thanks to the generousity of the suppliers involved, the product shots were really fab! Here's what was provided:

DC Bouquets - Headband, bracelet and beautiful antique jewellery bouquets
Magpie Vintage - Beautiful vintage headband
Giddy Kipper - Amazing painted wooden signs
Yummylicious - American style cupcakes
The Blossom Tree - Beautiful vintage style flowers
Vintage and Cake - Chinaware for the flowers

I have to say I'm so glad I decided to do the shoot and more importantly, that I did it with Emma. I have made a fantastic new friend and the photography just speaks for itself... absolutely beautiful! Thank you so much Emma and all the suppliers that contributed.

Yesterday I had a fantastic promotional photoshoot with the lovely and super talented Emma Case. I can't wait to show you the photos and tell you all the details but in the meantime I will show you another photoshoot I was involved in last month!

I had an amazing opportunity to work with some of my most favourite suppliers. The idea for the shoot was thought up by Photographer Eliza Claire and Kat from Rock n Roll bride. They asked the very talented Tiffany from Grant Riley weddings to style the shoot and she asked me to help. I provided 'Silent Film' style caption boards to be used as props.

On the day Kat had her hair and make up done by the amazing Elbie Van Eaden and she wore Jewellery by Chain of Daisies. A fantastic shoot with some of the most fabulous suppliers in the country! Read more about it on the following blogs:

Finally, after a huge positive reponse and lots of enquiries about the caption boards I am now selling them direct from this site. Click here to purchase your own personalised board!

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:

My most exciting news is that I have had my first feature in a national wedding magazine! I am very happy to say I have been featured in the July edition of Perfect Wedding on the 'Whats WOW in the wedding world now' list!!! I was really surprised and flattered to be featured and you can read the little piece above.

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
