A Northern Wedding — Offbeat Wedding Stationery for Alternative Couples

Amy and Oli met at a party when they both lived in London. After dating, moving in together and living happily in Stepney, they looked for new opportunities together in Manchester.

Oli is a composer and audio engineer - he worked at the Imperial War Museum in London and when they moved, he continued to do some days at the northern branch. One night she went to meet him after work. Amy walked in to an audio-visual explosion as, in the darkness of after-hours, Oli displayed photos and told the story of them (and their friends and family) across the walls of the museum. When she woke from the reverie, there was Oli, proposing 😍

So London was where it started, but Manchester means so much to them as a couple - especially that museum. They decided to incorporate that building, and other significant ones, into the aesthetic of their wedding day. I collaborated with them to make their stationery which embodied their love for the city.
