Lindsay & Ryan Sweetman, mid Wales
Lindsay & Ryan married in 2006 in the beautiful setting of Mid Wales.
"Taylor Made Designs was recommended to me by a friend, after searching for months for extra special wedding invitations, but to no avail. I contacted Ruth, and within a week she sent me some of her designs to choose from. Her designs were of a very high standard, and extremely professional, giving me the difficult decision of choosing just one! After I made my decision, I emailed Ruth with my chosen design. I was also struggling with the wording for the invites, but Ruth stepped in to help me out, and sent me variations of wording she had previously used, this was another stress taken care of! I was over the moon with the invites, place names, and table planner all designed and produced by her. I couldn't believe how quickly she made them following my order, how perfect and how special they were. I would recommend Taylor Made Designs to anyone who wants something different, something pretty, and something professional. They added a touch of class to my wedding."

Sharon & Rhys Jones, Swansea
My sister and best friend Sharon got married on August 6th 2007 to the very lovely Rhys Jones of Gower.
I had the pleasure of designing and making all of their stationery which was based on a hydrangea flower which co-ordinated with the flowers on the day.
"I waited a very long time to meet my Prince Charming and my wonderful sister and best friend got me through the "meeting lots of toads stage!!!" So there was no doubt in my mind about who would produce our wedding stationery. I had an idea in my head and found it hard to explain what I wanted in detail but Ruth's instincts and flair for design soon produced the most exquisite and uniquely perfect stationary. It added a touch of class (and sparkle!!!) to the wedding. Guests thought it was stunning and I am still being asked for her number! Thank you Ruth. We are forever grateful."
Sharon Jones.
Hydrangea (Design-your-own)
Hydrangea was created by my sister for her wedding in August last year. She chose a black and white image of her bouquet and added some diamantes for a little bit of sparkle and glamour! Any flowers could be used for this design and Taylor Made Designs can usually supply the image.
Some things are meant to be!
Why not have a baby photograph of yourself and your partner on your wedding invitations? A new idea for something a little bit different! Any colours can be used, just supply the photographs and we will do all the work.
Snowflake Sparkle
Snowflake Sparkle was designed for a festive Christmas wedding. A silver square card was the base for a large silver snowflake with a tiny diamante laid over handmade cobweb paper.

Grant & Anne Jones, Mid Wales
Grant and Anne were married on August 12th 2000 at St. Gwyddelan's Church and afterwards in a marquee in the beautiful grounds of Gregynog Hall in Tregynon, Mid Wales.
They selected a 'Design-your-own' design and opted for invitations, placecards and order of service.
"Ruth is a close friend and has always sent me fantastic and impressive handmade birthday and Christmas cards, so I decided that I wanted to ask her to design my wedding stationery as I wanted something unique and elegant. I went to her with an example of a design I spotted in a magazine and she then implemented that design into a unique one for my special day, using different colours, textures and layers. Ruth has a professional eye for design and put together a beautiful design, one that caught the eye of quite a lot of my wedding guests who were exceptionally complementary about her work. I always recommend Ruth to anyone who is thinking of having handmade stationery".
Anne Jones
The Beach
The Beach design originated from the idea by a Welsh couple, living in and getting married on a beach in Sydney, Australia.
Their design consisted of an abstract seascape painted with watercolours, and laid on a textured card.
About Me

Wrapped Heart
A classic design. Wrapped Heart consists of a single heart (in colour of your choice) wrapped with metallic thread and placed on matching torn-edged paper. This design suits the tall, narrow card format although does also look very good on a square-shaped card.
