Marvellous Men in the Wedding Industry

Last week in celebration of International Women’s day here at the blog we gave a shout out to local female run wedding businesses. But, we want to give a shout out to the boys out there smashing it too! Here’s a little round up of just a tiny amount of the talented gents out there. 

By Invitationly

First is the talented stationary company By Invitationly run by David. I’ve had the pleasure of meeting David at several wedding fayres and he’s such a lovely guy!

Words from David ‘By Invitationly was set up by me, David Brookes-Lennon from Liverpool in 2013, although I have been designing invitations & stationery for much longer. I first designed invitations for my grandparents 50th wedding anniversary back in 2007 and since then I have been designing invitations & stationery for many happy couples.’ 

David’s work speaks for itself with every little detail being made precisely. 

Cakes by Andrew

Cakes by Andrew is a page I’ve followed on Facebook for a while but never had the pleasure of meeting Andrew in person. 

His cake designs are absolutely stunning and the customer feedback he receives is exceptional! Looking for wedding cake definitely one to check out. 

Ian MacMichael Photography

There are a whole host of photographers out there, I’ve met Ian now on 3 different occasions and embarrassingly each time I’ve introduced myself like it’s the first time we’ve met! I think he may now think I’m a little mad! Ian’s a friendly, relaxed down to earth fella who takes stunning images. 

Words from Ian ‘I passionately believe that weddings are about people. There are enough photographers around that want to manufacture images. They want to tell a story that they contrive and set up, even though that means ignoring the real and raw emotions of your wedding.’

Ryan James Lee

We had the pleasure of meeting Ryan at a recent event and it was lovely to hear about the pocket squares he creates. If you’re looking for a statement piece to go with your suit Ryan is your guy.

He has also designed a lovely range of womens scarves and works a lot with local charities.

Do you know any other amazing local businesses? Get involved and let us know.
