Bespoke Design
If you like my style but have a particular idea in mind, I offer a bespoke design service and will endeavour to help you realise your vision.
After an initial consultation to determine your requirements, I will provide you with my design ideas and revise them as necessary. Once you are happy with the final draft I will create samples for your approval. The cost to commission a bespoke design is £30.00, payable in advance of any work undertaken, and non-refundable regardless of whether or not you proceed with an order. Should you wish to proceed with an order, the cost of your stationery will be dependent upon the card styles you choose and materials used but a full quotation will be provided.
You can, of course, choose an existing design from within my portfolio and have it adapted to suit your requirements free of charge. For example, you might want a different colour scheme or perhaps you would like a wedding stationery design reworked for another type of social event such as a birthday celebration.
Please note that copyright of any design and stationery created will remain the property of Sheila Hodge Designs.

Susan and Donald's Wedding Stationery
Maid of the Loch
Susan and Donald were planning a very non-traditional wedding on board the Maid of the Loch, moored at Balloch on Loch Lomond. They had strong personal connections with the boat and liked the idea of somehow tying their stationery in with it, and that got my creative juices flowing.
I digitally created a pencil sketch from a photograph I had taken of the boat and sized it to entirely cover the front of the wallet invitation when printed. I then designed the invitation insert as a boarding pass, together with an accompanying map and directions insert and a co-ordinating reply card. The main wedding colour was a purply-blue which became the highlight colour on the printed stationery and ribbon embellishment and the design was carried through to the reception stationery, including combined menu/place cards and favour tags.

This is a unique and quirky stationery set that reflects the couple and their wedding celebrations and will be remembered by their guests for many years to come. In fact, the Bride told me that one guest was so impressed with the illustration that she has had the invitation mounted and framed.
