The Splendid Swan Story

The story of the Splendid Swan started back in 2009 when Rebecca started designing and creating celebration invitations and personalised T-shirts for family and friends. The news of her beautiful, bespoke stationery travelled quickly, and she soon developed a reputation for quirky, luxury paper goods with a personal touch.

Whilst still offering a unique stationery design service, over the years she also worked as a fashion and textiles designer where she discovered her love of wonderful trims to add the finishing touches. From gorgeous velvet ribbons and sheer lace to buttons, bows and everything that sparkles on your wedding day.

Rebecca also worked as a graphic designer, where her mind was overflowing with creative ideas and inspiration. It was here that she developed a penchant for typeface and fonts. She became skilled at creating beautiful typography and lettering, and was enthralled by paper. Not just the everyday paper you put in your home printer, but sheets with an interesting texture or finish.

The designer also spent several years working as a marketing manager for a luxury North East hotel, where she fell in love with the wedding industry and loved helping couples realise the vision of their wedding day. She also learnt just how important it is to brides and grooms that their wedding flows smoothly from start to finish, and this is something that is firmly reflected in her aim to create a hassle-free design service for her clients.

Rebecca likes reinventing traditional wedding styles - a classic invitation with wording in an unexpected place, a luxury tassel here and a piece of silk ribbon there. With years of experience in the creative industries, she is an exceptionally versatile designer. So whether you are looking for rustic, chic, vintage, art deco, classic or modern wedding supplies, she will be able to create something beautiful and bespoke to you.

Her range of wedding supplies is continually growing as brides and grooms ask for the new and unseen to make their wedding individual. She offers a vast range of paper and textile goods including save the dates, wedding invitations, on the day stationery including the order of service, table plan and wedding menus, plus bespoke luxury hen party t- shirts.
