Wedding Testimonials

"After seeing Charley at a wedding fair early on in planning for our wedding, I knew I would definitely contact her in relation to making our wedding stationery as I just loved what I saw. 

Charley came over to our house to discuss designs & ideas and both myself & my now husband immediately warmed to her as she is so friendly and helpful and had brilliant ideas to help us create a complete set of bespoke stationary for our wedding.  

During the whole process of designing, making & delivering our stationery nothing was ever too much for Charley and everything was produced to such a high & beautiful standard. 

We had invites, menus, name places, a table plan, a post box for our cards and thank you cards and everything was just perfect. Everything she created for us set off our theme of ivy for the wedding and enhanced the whole effect of the day which was stunning. 

I can't thank Charley enough for all she did for us & for how much stress it took off me knowing that aspect of the planning was in such a lovely & safe pair of hands. 

I would recommend Charley to anyone, she is a true professional yet so lovely & helpful, it's a true pleasure to deal with her!"

"Dear Charley, I wanted to let you know what a massive impact your wedding stationery had on our big day. The invitations were an important part of our wedding celebration as they set the tone for the grandest party we will ever throw. When our guests received our invitations, it was clear that the careful detail and attention of every card was warmly received.

Continuing your design through the table names, place names and order of service was perfect.   The decoration on the place names, table names, and table plan made it feel like ‘Our Venue’ very unique to us and more memorable for it. Thank you also for your guidance with the order of service and all other aspects of planning. This is something we had not anticipated when we chose your stationery but something that was a very valuable part of your service.

It is great to know just how many people have kept a selection of our wedding stationery for keep sakes, just as we have.

We can’t thank you enough. I will be happily recommending you to all my friends tying the knot and have already passed on your details to many."

"To Charley, We would like to thank you for all your hard work and patience, the finished products were gorgeous. Everyone commented on how lovely and expensive they looked (but without the expensive price tag!).  Already recommended to close friends! Very pleased with everything. Thanks again."

"Brilliant - Charley offered us a reliable and friendly service.  The complete stationary package was of the highest quality and provided us with excellent value for money.  We would happily recommend Charlotte Frances Designs to anyone."

Nicola & Paul (Wilmslow—Wedding at Mere Court, Knutsford)

“I found out about Charlotte's stationery by chance through a local bridal shop. I had been trawling the internet for months but still couldn't find a simple yet elegant design that was right and more importantly the right price! Charley came to see me at my house with her portfolio and explained how she could create a number of designs according to my requirements and price range. I found a design in her portfolio which was just what I was looking for and after experimenting and a lot of patience from Charlotte's side - we have a stunning range of stationery which I cannot wait to send out to my guests next month. With Charley, nothing is ever a problem and her flexibility is just what a bride needs in the madness of wedding planning! I would have no hesitation in recommending her and will definitely be using her for future invitations etc!"
