Lolapaluza Wedding Stationery

Last week, I was thrilled to receive some superb pictures from Lolapaluza of our BOTANICA floral seed paper. Lolapaluza specialises in unique wedding stationery and having spotted our new range, purchased some BOTANICA to produce sample invitations to show at the forthcoming wedding shows this Autumn.
The samples are simply, but beautifully, hot foil blocked using gold foil...
I wrote about our new BOTANICA floral seed paper when we launched it on May Day this year HERE. The range is handmade for us exclusively in England by Two Rivers Paper, who are based at Pitt Mill in Somerset.
Great care has been taken in the hand papermaking process, using 100% cotton, without chemicals and dried naturally (only by air) meaning that the seeds remain viable and can germinate and grow. Below, you can see my efforts, grown on wet tissue on our window-sill.
...and my colleague Sarah Glennie has demonstrated her horticultural skills using compost in the image below - 4 weeks after planting:
My thanks to Linda at Lolapaluza for showing me the results of her tests and for planting the idea of this lovely new range into the minds of her clients...
