We had the pleasure of chatting with Clair, proud owner of The Chalk Spot. We asked her all about the brilliant trends of signage and chalk boards in today’s weddings.
“We started our business in September 2014, just 4 months ago, after I created a chalkboard to be used for my little girls first birthday. The response from friends to create something similar was so big that the company was born through complete support and encouragement from those close to us. In our first three months we had completed over 200 orders and we hope for loads of big changes in 2015 to develop further, starting with the launch of our website www.thechalkspot.co.uk.”
“Our chalkboards are great for complimenting all wedding themes. They are perfect for rustic weddings – outdoorsy, gardens and country. We can also frame our chalkboards, for example with gold frames, which make our chalkboards so elegant and they look perfect at classic and vintage themed weddings.”
“Chalkboards are so versatile! During a consultation with myself, I usually ask about colours and I try to see the couples stationery if they have some, as that can really help to set the theme for their chalkboard. We are able to work with any text or design and we can frame the boards too. Some couples have even put them on display in their homes as keepsakes from their special day.”
“Apart from chalkboards of course, I loved that sequins made a real entrance to wedding trends last year and cannot wait to see more of this trend in 2015.”
“We are really excited that weddings in 2015 are becoming more individual and that couples increasingly want to put their own personalities into their big day. Chalkboards can really help with that – we are currently designing ‘Love Story’ chalkboards which are on order for couples getting married this year and they will really show their guests how personal their big day is.”
Thanks Clair for taking the time to chat with us! Thankfully the signage trend is only getting stronger by the day, because we simply love it! Check out The Chalk Spot website for more information.
