Your perfect colour

Introducing....  Figtree Invitations' brand new colours.  

Here at Figtree Invitations, we pride ourselves in being able to create virtually any colour, and nothing has changed there.  However, with such an overwhelming selection, we found that couples often needed a little nudge in the right direction. So we've created a brand new colour list, based on the colours we know you love. 

With over 70 of our new 'standard' colours to choose from, there's bound to be something you love. But just in case there's not, we'd still love to create that particular shade you are looking for.

See our colour list in full on our website, and find your perfect colour.

Once again, we'll be out and about this autumn meeting lots of new brides and grooms (as well as saying hello to our current ones!).  


This year, we're particularly excited to be exhibiting at 'The Wedding Event with a Difference' at The Roundhouse, Derby on Sunday 16th October. It promises to be a fabulous event with lots happening including the Creative Corner with handmade pieces of pretty, the Lyrical Lounge (tipi tent) outside with live entertainment and a fire pit to keep you toasty. There's an amazing catwalk show, interactive demonstrations and so many incredible exhibitors (including us of course!) Tickets are on sale now and are selling fast! Get yours by visiting www.savethedatemagazine.co.uk/events Don't forget, tickets are limited so be quick and don't miss out! 


As a special treat, we've got 2 tickets to give away. To be in with a chance of winning these, all you need to do is tell us which of our ranges features a bird? (Clue - the answer is on our website ). Send your answer to mail@figtreeinvitations.co.uk by the end of September. Good luck!!

Beautiful Bespoke ranges

Not sure which range to choose, or had something specific in mind for your stationery?  Our bespoke service may just be what you need!  With our background in graphic design, and our obsession with weddings, we just love creating new and unique stationery which reflects the personalities of the couples we work with.  Here is one such recent example...  More are in the pipeline, but of course they're top secret at the moment!!!

Stylishly vintage

Despite not yet having made it onto our website, we've had some fabulous feedback about the new Beatrice range. This simple vintage style is proving to be a bit of a hit, and we've run right out of samples in this range!!  So, to keep those Beatrice fans going in the meantime, here's a sneaky peek!

More samples arriving next week, and we'll have this range up on our main site soon (as soon as we get a spare minute, we promise!!)

The Royal Wedding

Of course, we are always very excited about any wedding, and so we don't need much encouragement to join in any wedding-related celebrations! We're suffering from a small dose of Royal Wedding fever this week, and are off to wave our flags and watch the procedings with friends tomorrow.  

We suspect that we're not the only ones getting excited about tomorrow's celebrations - enquiries for our rather regal Victoria range have rocketed over the past week.  We've not yet taken a booking from anyone feeling patriotic enough to have the design printed in red, white and blue...    maybe it could catch on?!?

Best wishes to the happy couple!!

New for spring 2011

We're really excited here at Figtree to be able to present four new ranges to you - soon to be appearing on the website.  We took these out and about with us for the first time last weekend. Victoria - shown below - has generated a huge amount of interest, and looks set to become a new favourite.

All of our ranges, Victoria included, are available in a range of invitation styles including pocket-fold, book and tag invitations. We've shown it here in an elegant sleeve invitation, in both plum and aqua tones.  As always, if you would like a glimpse of Victoria in your own wedding colours, let us know and we'll give you a sneaky peek!

What a weekend!

We at Figtree are feeling rather shattered this morning, after speaking to so many lovely couples over the weekend. We are privileged to have attend Chatsworth's first Wedding Weekend, a two-day wedding event showcasing the beautiful facilities available for weddings in the stables at Chatsworth. On Saturday, we were also at Shottle Hall's open day, complete with a Prince William and Kate lookalike!

Sunday took us to one of our favourite venues, Makeney Hall, in the gorgeous conservatory where we held our own wedding reception a few years ago. So, if you've left your details with us over the weekend, we will get in touch but please do bear with us in the meantime!

The new ranges we previewed this weekend will be on the blog shortly. xx

Reception ribbons

We at Figtree understand the importance of every detail of the wedding reception coordinating perfectly with your theme, and our range of on-the-day stationery is designed with precisely this in mind. As an added bonus, we're pleased to announce that all of the ribbons available for use with our invitations are now available by the roll, in a variety of widths.  Perfect for adding those finishing touches to your reception!

Feel free to get in touch for prices of ribbons by the roll.

Figtree books

Since we launched our book invitations last March, this style has become a real hit, and books are now Figtree's most popular invitation.  Couples tell us that their guests are really impressed by the amount of information provided, with the book allowing a mass of information to be packed in!  We have created maps, gift list poems, hotel information, menu choices and lots more within the pages, and have even turned the back page into an RSVP postcard for some couples.

Many couples are choosing to order books for both their daytime and evening guests, although flat or tag invitations are available as an alternative for the evening.  The book is now available across our full range of designs, with our 'Rose' and 'Rachel' designs being particularly popular.

Look out for the new book ranges coming soon.  In the meantime, here's a reminder of some of our favourites:

Come and say hello!

No, we at Figtree haven't disappeared off the face of the earth, despite the recent lack of blogging activity!  Quite the reverse in fact, we've just not had the time to post, in between creating a vast array wedding stationery for all of our lovely brides and grooms.  What a busy end to 2010, and 2011 has started off in the same way! We are booking up fast for this year's weddings, and are talking to couples getting married in 2012 (and beyond).

We'll be out and about over the coming weeks at various events across the region.  They are all free to attend, and we'd love you to come and say hello!  We take a wide range of our stationery with us, to provide inspiration for your own wedding. Have a chat to us about your ideas, and we'll  help you to develop them.

Have a look at the list on the right to see where we'll be.  See you there!
