WED’S HIP LIST

Fresh, fun and fabulous ways to add a unique touch to your day

words Rebecca Matthews

ART AND SOUL

First impressions count – and there’s nothing quite like gorgeously crafted stationery for setting the tone of your celebrations from the first clatter of the letterbox. Harriet de Winton of de Winton Paper Co. is an artist, watercolour teacher and creator of breathtakingly beautiful hand-painted wedding stationery. Each design starts life as a hand-painted watercolour artwork, whether you choose from one of her house collections or commission a bespoke suite replete with personal detail. As well as invitation suites, your design can carry through the on-the-day paper goods, from orders of service to menus, place cards, signage, personalised favours and even bespoke artworks to commemorate the day. dewintonpaperco.com

DESIGNER FIZZ

Sup on a bubbly as stylish as your gown during the big day preparations, the drinks reception or whenever you feel like celebrating with Vera Wang Party, the new prosecco from the queen of bridal fashion herself. Created in the world-renowned vineyards of Vincenza, Italy, the sparkling white wine boasts citrus notes, hints of apple and stone fruit, and a soft and fruity finish, while the rosé blends notes of red berry, strawberry and raspberry – perfect for a summer wedding. What’s more, the wines come in matt silver bottles for a toast as strikingly chic as it is delicious. amazon.co.uk/Vera-Wang-Prosecco-Sparkling-Celebrating/dp/ B09ZYWXRKY
