Elsje Designs offers clients an exclusive couture stationery and gift service, specialising in innovative ideas.
The Studio launched in 2003 and recently extended to include Gifts 4 Guests, a personalised gifting service. Elsje Designs uses the finest papers, delicate materials and unique colour combinations to create a wonderful mix of designs. Their palette of glamorous, contemporary, vintage and romantic styles breaks away from the conventional.
Elsje's first question to clients is to contemplate which emotion they wish to evoke. "Your invitation is the first glimpse guests have of the celebration - creating a sense of anticipation and reflecting your style and personality."
Elsje advises couples to visit the studio to browse the design gallery. Alternatively, she directs clients to her website for design ideas and to complete a client information form. She recommends starting the design process six months prior to mailing the invitations, but her experienced team works just as well under pressure. Existing designs can serve as creative starting point, or a completely new design is created, and all invitations are custom-made. "Anything is possible; our goal is to make your wildest dream come true - whether with glamorous diamanté embellishments, hand stitching or flocking, the latest trend".
Elsje encourages clients to include personal elements such as a photographs, lyrics or poetry in their stationery. True style is when your guests open the invitation and say "it's so them!".
These days' favours or table gifts do double-duty as both a symbol of gratitude, and as a creative way to enhance the wedding décor in a creative way.
Gifts 4 Guests are continuously searching for the most original gifts that will charm both you and your guests. "Treats to eat", like old fashioned striped lollipops, remain a firm favourite. Indigenous fynbos bulbs are a beautiful gesture for the eco-friendly, and African chic décor pieces are perfect for the contemporary couple. We focus on personalising packaging in tins, bags and boxes with custom-printing, also adding to the table décor.
Elsje Designs and Gifts 4 Guests are fashionable and creative, bursting at the seams with creative concepts and innovations.
