We asked Andrea of Deciduous Press five questions in five minutes:
What is the most important piece of advice you can give to engaged couples?
Be organised – it is so fantastic when you have time to work through your wedding invitation designs together (and with family) and can enjoy the excitement of preparations! Being in a rush to post your invites can take away from those special moments.
Tell us about a hidden talent you have?
Along with pen drawing (which I use for our Invitation design Collection) I can also work in other mediums such as graphite and oil paint.
As a vendor, what excites you about the wedding day?
Creating the first impression that guests will get by designing stationery that is unique and personal to each couple. I also love creating stationery that will be used on the day such as Place cards, Programs and Menus. It is great to work with couples right from start to finish.
What are you known for?
Beautiful materials along with an efficient ordering process that makes organising invitations stress-free. The most common comments I get from couples are just how high quality our paper and printing feels, as well as how easy ordering has been for them!
If you could choose a song to play for the rest of your life what would it be?
Sibelius – Violin Concerto in D Minor.

I recently ordered my wedding save the date and invitation through Andrea. As soon as I got a sample pack from her I knew that was who I wanted to create our invitations.
Andrea produced the most beautiful illustration of our venue to include on the stationery. She was very open to feedback and worked with us to create the most beautiful invitation pack. The quality of the materials was second to none. The card she uses is so soft and beautiful and the envelopes all match perfectly. When she sends the final package to you it is all individually wrapped in tissue paper – you can tell that she really cares about each and every piece she creates.
I highly recommend this supplier, the bonus was that it is all designed and handmade here in Australia. The quality speaks for itself.
