Your East Anglian Wedding - February/March 2024 (Issue 65)

55 HANDMADE IN EAST ANGLIA CLARE WARREN CALLIGRAPHY hello@clarewarrencalligraphy.co.uk www.clarewarrencalligraphy.co.uk Clare Warren Calligraphy is a professional wedding calligrapher based in Attleborough. “I hand-write eye-catching on-the-day stationery for weddings around the world, but I especially love working with local couples,” says Clare. “It’s always exciting to plan the perfect signs and details around a venue that I know and I can work more closely with your other suppliers to create something truly special. “If you want to guide your guests around your venue, offer information about the day, or just keep everyone in their seats, calligraphy is a beautiful, personal way to do it. Nothing makes a guest feel more cared for than seeing their own name elegantly written by hand, so place cards often become some of the most treasured keepsakes. “Before calligraphy, I worked as a visual manager for an international department store, where I created award-winning displays that were admired by 10s of 1,000s of visitors. Over the last five years, I’ve used that eye for detail to help hundreds of couples with varying budgets and visions, from small intimate ceremonies to sprawling multi-day celebrations. Whether you’ve no idea where to start or know what you want down to the final flourish, I’d love to hear from you and help bring your dream day to life.” APRIL DACE JEWELLERY info@aprildacejewellery.com | www.aprildacejewellery.com April is an independent goldsmith and jewellery designer running handmade jewellery business, April Dace Jewellery, from her home design studio and workshop in Swanton Morley, just 20 minutes from Norwich. April has over 10 years of experience designing, making and repairing traditional gold, silver and platinum jewellery and specialises in creating wedding rings, engagement rings and one-of-a-kind keepsake jewellery pieces. The design consultation is all about getting to know you, your jewellery style and often the deeper story behind these imagined or existing jewellery pieces. April will work with you from start to finish, talking through design options, metal types, stone types, sizing and all the practical considerations to ensure your handmade jewellery is not only beautiful but also something that can be passed down to future generations. You don’t even need to know exactly what you want; April is there to help you make the best informed decisions that suit you. If you’re looking to have your wedding rings specially commissioned, there are plenty of samples to choose from and a gallery of previous work to browse through to gain inspiration, and April is always on hand to answer any questions you might have. If you’d like to work with existing jewellery, whether for sentimental reasons or just simply to be resourceful, April can walk you through the remodelling process and how she works with old gold, silver and gemstones to create something new but still extremely meaningful. It’s a passion of April’s to be able to transform old into new in a caring and empathetic fashion. It’s a wonderful way to stay connected to loved ones and create new chapters and memories with the jewellery you wear. www.vickyplum.co.uk www.vickyplum.co.uk www.tatumreid.com
