FashionBride Interview with Emily&Jo

What’s the difference between a good wedding invitation and an Emily&Jo wedding invitation? Good design and typesetting is where we start, but it’s the combination of printing techniques, paper stock and the design that makes the difference.

That’s why you should all consider having your custom-made invitation with Emily&Jo.  FashionBride had a quick chat with these extremely creative designers and found out more about their work. Read all about it after the jump (lovely invitations as you can see 🙂 ).

1. When did you decided to become a designer and why did you find this domain interesting?

The business started when Emily, newly engaged and full of anticipation failed to find any wedding stationery that met with her design expectations. As a senior creative in a top London agency Emily felt that there was no option but to create her own stationery suite and the concept of Emily&Jo was born.

2. Talk us trough the first years of you work. Maybe you could tell us what did change in time? Are your designs different from the very beginning?

Yes we do pride ourselves on being different, that is the essence of our company and ethically why we started. From the very beginning we recognised the emotive value of our product and we continue to work really hard to absolutely realise our clients expectations.

While Emily&Jo combine beautiful patterns with classic, timeless design and typography, we are continually creating new designs for our bespoke clients. This runs hand in hand with the expansion of our on line portfolio. We also offer a free of charge service to our clients whereby the colours of the designs can be manipulated in order to fit in with specific themes

3. Why should a bride-to-be choose one of your designs?

Quality Quality Quality! We produce a beautifully executed product that is timeless as well as being completely on trend. Our stationery suites really serves to set the tone for our clients’ wedding day – wetting the appetite of expectation

4. Do tell us a bit more about your inspiration sources.

As well as our classic designs, as our portfolio indicates we love anything that is new and visually exciting, there is so much talent out there! That is why we are launching our range of “designer” stationery to offer an additional level of creativity to our clients that utilizes the new talent that is out there.

5. Have you got any piece you’ve created and that has a very special meaning for you? Can you describe it or can show us a picture?

It’s hard to pin point a single one, we have been lucky enough to work with so many gorgeous clients It’s always a great experience to work with someone that has a clear vision, that isn’t afraid of really going for it with bold colour and design, that make our day to day worthwhile and fun. Designing and producing a finished piece that creates an amazing visual impact and “wow” factor is a very satisfying occupation.

6. From your point of view, how should a perfect wedding should be like?

Smiling faces everywhere!

7. And tell us what would you offer and, maybe, other brands can’t.

Emily&Jo offers a fresh and dynamic on trend portfolio that fulfills a niche in the wedding stationery market that many modern day brides are craving for. Working with myself and Emily is a fun process, we are just as excited as our clients about producing a beautiful end product.

8. Last but not least, do you have any advice for FashionBride readers?

Enjoy your special day, and don’t get overwhelmed by the volume of industry choice that is available. If you have an initial concept, colour or theme that you love, don’t deviate, stick with it and all will fall into place. remember it is your day!
