About
Charlotte Willmore Design is a bespoke stationery service applying traditional English charm to hand-worked illustrations (her fan-base includes Parisian perfume house Diptyque). Working from a farm studio in Dorset, Charlotte is a fine artist by training, and employs heirloom-quality paper and watercolours to conjure a whimsical design. Be it a border of amalfi lemons or a tuberose garden, her light touch artistry can be painted on to save the dates, hand-dressed envelopes or a full suite of invitations. Her clients often come back to commission on the day details, too, think bespoke menus, place cards or an illustrated order of service. Custom live painting, capturing the magic of your country estate or walled garden on the day of your nuptials, is a particularly lovely offering. The commissioning process is collaborative; she works with you (from wherever you are in the world) via a series of calls and emails to tailor the work to the style and story of your coupling. Charlotte’s stationery delights on the day but is mindfully designed for special longevity, to last past the day of your wedding and on into posterity.

Testimonials
Charlotte was an absolute delight and we thoroughly enjoyed working with her. The experience felt personal and effortless, she was incredibly attentive, patient and responsive in everything she undertook. We all know the stress associated with planning a wedding, but, with Charlotte at the helm dealing with all aspects of the stationery, the experience was a genuine pleasure. No request was too big or complicated, she consistently exceeded our dreams to ensure everything was flawless. We found ourselves wanting to include even more pieces, just to see what Charlotte would create next! Even the vicar commented that he had never seen such a beautiful Order of Service!

Charlotte was such a pleasure to work with, right from the very start. She really helped the vision for my designs become a reality and produced incredibly beautiful artwork; we especially loved that our dog was included, a testament to Charlotte’s attention to detail. We received so many compliments from guests on how unique our stationery was and how it was so personal to us. We kept asking her to create more things for the wedding as we were so impressed by her skills!

Charlotte was absolutely amazing, I don’t think I’ll ever get to put into words how grateful I am for her and her work. I am in total awe of her energy and readiness to do everything as soon as possible ( we decided to plan a destination wedding in only 5 months). The quality of the prints, envelopes, and paper was pure art. Everything looked so beautiful, you can tell Charlotte put 100% in to understand the couple, the concept and boom, the magic comes.
