I've had some lovely commissions for bespoke guest books recently.
Bespoke Wedding Guest Book with Miniature Journal Favours
Louise asked me to bind a Guest Book in Duck Egg Blue leather to match her bridesmaid's dresses, with matching Mini Journals as bridesmaid favours. The frontspage is printed with the illustration Louise had designed for her wedding invitations. The commission was finished off with an Ivory presentation box.
Bespoke Wedding Guest Book with Monogram
Ana Lucia commissioned me to bind this medium guest book in Biscuit leather and Neutral thread for her sister's wedding. The frontspage features the couple's names against a watermark they had designed for their wedding stationery.
If you'd like a Wedding Guest Book bound to co-ordinate with your colour scheme, please take a look at your leather options here and email me to discuss your requirements: info@boundbyhand.co.uk. Standard Guest Books in White and Neutral can also be purchased here.

Black and white is the trend for weddings this season. Elegant and striking, a nod to Art Deco.
A fashion conscious bride contacted me a couple of months ago and asked me to bind her this bespoke Wedding Guest Book:
She chose a devastatingly romantic frontspage - as well as her and her husband's names and the date of their wedding, she included Cathy's words from Wuthering Heights: "Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same".
A set of matching Monochrome Mini Journals completed her wedding package - I believe she planned to delight her bridesmaids and best men with them.
If you'd like a bespoke Wedding Guest Book - and perhaps a set of Mini Journals - to co-ordinate with your colour scheme, take a look at your options here and write me an email: info@boundbyhand.co.uk - I'd love to hear about your plans! If you need something classic in a hurry, my White & Neutral guest books are just the thing.
