Meet the stationery
The Hummingbird Card Company
The Hummingbird Card Company was founded in 2007 by Sally-Ann, who came to wedding stationery from fashion and lingerie design after falling for laser cutting. The studio is now a small team of designers and artisans working from Ashby-de-la-Zouch, and every collection is designed in house so that it belongs only to Hummingbird.
Laser cutting remains the signature, with lacy gatefolds, doily and gate designs and shaped invitations cut from fine card. The studio also works in hot foil, letterpress, digital foil and print, and offers digital invitations that can be mixed with paper ones, for example paper for day guests and digital for evening guests or those living overseas.
Collections run from whimsical and vintage glamour to rustic chic and clean, modern luxe, many with hand drawn florals, birds and butterflies. Every piece is made in the UK on carefully sourced card and paper, and the range reaches beyond the invitation to order of service booklets, menus, place cards, table plans, wedding signs and thank you cards.
Couples who want something more personal can commission bespoke stationery, with a free consultation in the studio or by phone and an artwork fee of £250. Past bespoke work has turned venues and wedding scenes into laser cut illustrations. The studio works directly with couples and with wedding planners, and visits to the studio showroom are by appointment.
