Just a quick note to say thank you to all the brides and grooms-to-be who visited our exhibition yesterday at the Orchardleigh Wedding Fayre. Julia and I loved talking to each of you and hearing all your fantastic ideas for your weddings! It was our first showcasing of our new Laser Cut Wedding Stationery, which is something quite special and we had an overwhelming response. The event itself had an amazing atmosphere, with a host of fantastic suppliers, to name a few www.mothersbestchina.co.uk, www.justscrumptious.co.uk, www.alexanderwhittle.co.uk, www.sarahbackhouse.co.uk, www.partycrechers.co.uk and www.idesignjewellery.co.uk. The Wedding Fayre attracted 450 people and raised £4K for Macmillan Cancer Support. A huge sucess!! Visit the Chichi Designs Facebook Page for photos! Before I close, a useful website that all brides must take a peak at is www.bridesbook.co.uk. It's a great directory for finding those all important suppliers!

Our Studio here in Warminster is amongst a winter wonderland - laced with glistening frosty icicles and fluffy white snow! Despite the childish fun we've been having here throwing snowballs we have come up with some fantastic ideas - like little ethereal sparkles of light - waiting to burst into some fantastic, dazzling designs ready for the spring!

This is a very exciting year for Chichi Designs! This month is our very first birthday. One year ago Marysia, a commercial designer, visual artist and photographer had a vision to create beautiful wedding stationery which would ooze style, creativity and elegance but that could be easily accessible by all engaged couples - regardless of their budgets.

One year on and we have been welcomed into the wonderous world of weddings with open arms! We have created some irresistable designs, and are about to embark on exhibiting at some of the most desirable Wedding Venues in the South West of England.

New Years Day, Marysia began 2010 with some fantastic news of her very own. Exciting news that we're sure you can empathise with!!! Daniel, long term partner of four years, proposed to Marysia outside the romantic setting of Winchester Cathedral, where they first met at Univertsity. As she mumbled 'yes' through a blanket of tears, a euphoric eruption of fireworks just so happened to explode simultaneously!!!

As a bride-to-be herself, Marysia understands the importance of making right decisions without being pestered, as she has already been bombarded with sales pitches galore!!!! Our approach is to let you decide - it is however your day and we believe our Wedding Stationery can sell itself anyway!! If however, you would like us to pester you a little... why not join us on Facebook or Twitter or send us your email address and we will add you to our mailing list. This way brides-to-be can be the first to see our new designs, hear about our latest events, get exclusive promotional codes and enter our 'creative buzz' where we share with you some of our favourite wedding suppliers and products that inspire our work!

We hope that planning your wedding this year will be enjoyable and magical and we hope we can inspire you and your wedding with a little of our Chichi flair!
