About

On Hitched.co.uk since 2024

Last update: October 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.

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 ✌️

Creative and unique personalised designs

Carly is a wonderful designer with great experience and talent. She listens and put your ideas into paper. She's great with feedback and actions promptly- you can see different drafts in one day. Will definitely be using her services again for other events. Thank you for making our special day so memorable!

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!
