At Scribble & Daub, stationery is elevated to an art form: tactile, painterly, and deeply personal. Founded in 2012 by illustrator Caroline Kent, formerly a curator of contemporary art and now commissioned by houses such as Dior and Vogue, the East Sussex studio uses artisan processes, from traditional letterpress printing to brushstrokes applied by hand. The results are individualised works of art – no two are ever the same – that have been sold to the likes of Fortnum & Mason and Liberty. Produced on the finest Italian card stock, invitations are not only the first glimpse guests receive of the wedding to come but also enduring keepsakes, designed to be cherished long after the celebrations have ended. Scribble & Daub works with a deliberately limited number of couples each year, offering a highly personal, considered service that spans menus, name cards, and other keepsakes that capture Caroline’s elevated-eclectic disposition (note the lovely candy-fringe garlands and shrimp, pear, and pickle decorative gift tags). The clients who seek out Caroline’s work (often featured in Vogue weddings) are discerning and creative, drawn to her elegantly informal style that captures a playfully refined expression.
The wedding stationery looks absolutely beautiful and enhanced the excitement levels tremendously…What a treat it has been to work with you…you have given us such time and attention and we have loved this particular part of the wedding prep perhaps more than any other. You are incredibly talented and all of our friends and family have greatly admired the invitations – we can’t wait for them to see the programs, place cards, and menus next weekend!

Working with Caroline was an absolute joy! We had long admired her work and so were thrilled to have the chance to partner with her for our wedding. She so beautifully captured the look and feel we had imagined but struggled to put into words, and her attention to detail blew us away. We’ve since framed so many of the pieces and scattered them around our home! Caroline bent over backwards to help make our day flawless, and her designs were utterly perfect.
