About

On Hitched.co.uk since 2024

Last update: December 2024

Hey, I'm Carly (she/her) and I run With Bells On! - a friendly design studio specialising in wedding stationery and signage. I'm based in Bristol, and I can deliver anywhere in the UK.

Your wedding stationery is often the first thing your guests see and interact with, and you'll want to make sure you set the tone of your big day. Having a professional on your side allows you to capture the two of you and the celebrations you're planning, with all the finesse and none of the stress!

I've been a graphic designer for almost 15 years, working on various projects and in multiple fields. Fot the past five years, I've created bespoke wedding invitations, signage, paper goods and wedding websites. The best part of my job is helping couples to get even more excited for their big day, and making sure their wedding stationery feels really personal to them and their wedding day.

My style is bold, bright and joyful. I tend to lean away from tradition, and my focus is always to celebrate each couple and put them at the centre of what we create together.

WORKING TOGETHER

The process tends to start with a kick-off discovery call, so that you can share your ideas and vision with me, and work out whether I'm your ideal stationer. If calls make you nervous or we can't find a time that works with your schedule, please don't worry - We can email instead or work out another way to chat.

It really helps if you have a Pinterest board or some images, as sometimes articulating what you want can be tricky, and it helps me understand the vibe you're going for.

DESIGN OPTIONS

You can opt for a bespoke design, which takes 6 - 8 weeks and will be completely unique to you. Alternatively, you can choose a design from my house collection, and change the colours and details to make it your own. This usually takes 2 - 4 weeks to design, print, craft and deliver.

I like to think of myself as your wedding sidekick; I'm not just designing stationery. I can guide you as much or as little as you want and need during the planning process.

Can't wait to get started!
Carly ✌️

Carly Is Incredible!

I'm so grateful to have worked with Carly for all of our on the day wedding stationery. She had such a great knack at interpreting what our taste was and turned around what we were looking really quickly. She was always open to our feedback and I was so thrilled to work with her. Our guests were complimenting us on our stationery all throughout our wedding day. She managed to create a really unique look and feel which perfectly tied together our wedding themes. I would recommend her to anyone looking for amazing, thoughtful and personalised stationery or design.

Unique & Personal Designs!

Carly made all the stationary for our wedding from order of the weekends, menus, place names, stickers and song sheets! I felt she understood what we wanted straight away and she had great unique ideas, she dealt with my slow unorganised responses (wedding planning, even with a planner, is HECTIC) and made changes with speed and professionalism. I wouldn’t hesitate to reccomend Carly and With Bells On! If you want something highly personal and individual, look no further x

You need this woman in your life!

Carly is a creative visionary who truly transformed our wedding. She helped create the logo that we embedded throughout our entire process- from save the dates, to the formal invites, all on the day boards but also wristbands, tattoos (temporary & the real deal) and everything you can imagine in between. She was a true lifeline throughout the process, allowing us to be our authentic selves and being a soundboard for all things wedding (not just the stuff you can get printed). Carly’s energy, vibrancy and all round understanding of us means she nails the brief and beyond every single time.

If you need anyone on your wedding day, it’s Carly. She also does digital as well as the most beautiful physical prints and our website was a huge talking point for all the guests from the get go!

Creative, personalised service delivering great value

Carly created an impressive set of design options following our initial brief. She fully understood what we were looking for and created designs for invitations, place cards, table plan, menu and venue signage. She managed the process from design to print and we were kept up to date along the way. A very safe pair of hands delivering a creative, personalised service at very reasonable cost. Highly recommend!

Carly the Saviour

After being let down last minute by a different stationary supplier, Carly came to save the day and completely blew us away with her new designs, ideas and professionalism. We had so many compliments on our wedding stationary and Carly couldn’t have been any more helpful!

Fantastic service / beautiful designs

Carly has been amazing every step of the way. We were looking for something fun/tropical but classy for our destination wedding and Carly came up with perfect designs to the brief, with refreshing and creative input whilst being totally adaptable to our ideas. She even created us a bespoke pineapple “J|L” logo which we’ve plastered everywhere! She made the whole process smooth & easy, and we couldn’t be happier with results. She is an absolute professional, and we’d wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for bespoke wedding stationary.

Brilliant and quick!

Carly designed my 60th birthday invitations. She did a brilliant job of capturing the feel and theme we wanted. Added to which, she was very speedy and efficient!

Highly recommended!

Carly made us fantastic invitations for my son’s first birthday. She listened to all the details we wanted and was able to produce us an invitation promptly. She was more than happy to edit details of the invitation with our last minute changes and send it back to us instantly. We loved how she incorporated our theme, and the style and colours used made it very kid friendly especially for a first birthday party. I have recommended her onto my friends and family as we think she is very talented in her work.

Working with Carly was so fun!

When I began exploring wedding stationery designs, I quickly found that the template ones came with a hefty price tag, and didn't fit the vision we had. Carly was professional, attentive and dedicated to helping us create the personalised invites we were so desperate for. Her attention to detail and design skills are second-to-none and communication throughout the whole process was fantastic.

I would recommend With Bells On! if you want bespoke invitations with that extra special something. With Carly's help, a daunting process will be stress-free and enjoyable!

So special!

Carly worked on the invitations for our wedding, and we couldn't be happier with the final result. Carly spent time understanding what we wanted and had great ideas, lovely attention to detail and is clearly very talented.

Our invitations were so special and we still have one framed in our house!
