Ok, so if even you are not a bride to be, www.paperbride.com promises to delight the stationery lover in you! With it’s candy floss colours to tantalise your pallet, the designs and layout are sure to inspire. The designs have a ‘Far from Heaven’ movie feel, coupled with a personal ‘thank-you’ to those involved with your special day. As a new and fairly young mum, I feel that the essence of gratitude and the romance of marriage is sometimes lost in modern life. Erica Goldstein the founder of paperbride captures the romance of romance in her designs, and gives instant glamour to transform the ordinary into an extra-ordinary way of expressing your thanks!

My must-have item is the deluxe keepsake box containing 50 cards and envelopes and includes a thank-you to all guests. I also loved the ‘save the date’ postcards, they beat an email version hands down.

The website also offers stockist and wholesale information and, for true stationery addicts, a mailing list.
