Welcome Danielle!

All my designs are named after special people in my life. Please welcome Danielle....

Danielle is a gorgeous, stunning invitation, which is new to Lacey Lou Designs. Currently she is at a discounted introduction price on my Ebay items. Danielle would look also look stunning with a different coloured ribbon, red being the next in line.

The Black Floral Glitter pocket is just stunning, and comes in different patterns and colours. If this is something you are interested in please contact me and I can supply you with some more information and photos of the other pockets we could use.

I'm working on a few more designs currently which will hopefully be revealed shortly :)

Going green...

I love doing my part for the environment.

FH and I constantly turn everything off at the switch...it did take a while to get use too....you sit down on the couch ready with the remote to turn on the TV on a cold winters night...only to find when you press the 'on' button that you have to get up and turn everything on at the switch.

Now it's just our nature. We are targetting our water '155l per person per day' FH and I are proud to admit we are using under 155l a day between the two of us per day.

What's the harm in sharing your shower time with your loved one? As much as I hog the water, FH and I are proud to be doing our bit. We have our 4 minute timer in our shower, the race is to who can get out the fastest!

As much as we recycle, sometimes it sickens me to notice how much of my paper wastage is going nowhere. At the start I wasn't too fussed...now I recycle every off cut possible. Is there a way to create environmentally friendly invitations?....the answer is no!

But what I can create is a environmentally friendly workspace. Every custom order, every sample order I create, I recycle! Every teeny tiny piece of paper not suitable for another order is recycled. Currently only in our recycling rubbish bin, however I'm looking into ways where my off-cuts are going to great use. Watch my Ebay items, soon I will be selling my off-cuts to handy crafters, maybe they could use these in their scrapbook albums!

I have recently discussed the 'Nicole' invitation. The patterned paper, which comes in many different colours, is made from recycled material.

I love using this paper, it just makes me feel great that I'm doing something great for our wonderful world.

I have just released a new design to my range called Kaisey. You can check out the item here

This was created for a Bride to Be with her wedding. She LOVED the design I had added to my items....

However, she wanted to use a frangipani as her flower, so we came up with this.....

This gorgeous little flower (which also comes in a wonderful pink!) came from another fantastic Ebay seller! You can check out her items here....

Tracy is fantastic!! Very friendly seller, who would go out of her way to help anyone out...I can't wait to order some more materials for my designs :)

Happy planning!!! :)

Things to be excited about!

Well I thought it was time to talk a little more about my own wedding! Yes, if you're wondering we are currently in the middle of planning our own dream wedding.

We've been planning our wedding for over a year now. Due to some factors we had to have an almost 2 year engagement. This has given us plenty of time to pick the best suppliers, get in early and of course save all those extra dollars. One thing my fiance isn't keen on is spending money! Which I may say has rubbed off on myself....

Well the next few days are going to be spent on my own wedding, of course while doing all your orders! We will be
-ordering the bridemaid dresses. All picked, just have to be order to have in by Christmas!
-looking at suits for groom and groomsmen. We have the colours, just need to find the perfect suit!
-meeting with our jeweller to organise our wedding rings!

All very big and exciting things for us over the next few days.

So yes, I understand there are so many factors involved when it comes to your wedding and if I can just take some of that pressure away from you, that would make my day!

I will be back very shortly with some photos of some great custom orders :)

A little disappointed...

I'm very happy with the service I provide my clients and I believe they are extremely happy with the whole process.

I'm lead to believe this by the excellent feedback I receive, not just on Ebay but the personal feedback.

"Thankyou so very very much, I recieved the invites today & they are absolutely gorgeous !!! We are so happy that we picked you & It was so straight forward with no problems at all, hassle free & an absolute bargain for what they are !!!!"

"I have just received the invites and they are amazing!!! Thank you so much for the wonderful job you have done, I am so happy with them and can’t wait to show FH!"

"Thankyou Thankyou Thankyou!!!! They are absolutely beautiful. The way you packed them also was very impressive. I have already sent them out and we have had a couple of people already tell us they are 5*!I couldn't be happier, I have recommended you to my sister who gets married next year"


I love receiving this feedback, it gives me a real buzz to know that I'm helping other brides-to-be out there to take just that little bit of stress away. I'm always communicating my clients, giving them updates, how long it will take before the order is completed and of course once it's sent....always via registered post!!

What really gets to me is others trying to take this feeling away from me. Yes, I'm all for competition, I love competition...just ask my fiance! ;) however when it comes to unoriginal designs and 'copy-cats' this really disheartens me.

Using others work as your own is really not on! This is just a way to make a quick buck and not care that you are dealing with one of the most important days in a girls (and boys!) life.

Yes copying is the best form of flatery and I think it's great that others love my designs as much as I do. However will they provide the same service that I do?

Remember your wedding day is one of the most important days of your life, don't let 'money-making' suppliers take you for a ride and once again more stress that really isn't neccessary.

If you want first class service and products you know who to go to. My feedback and comments speak for themselves.
