Us girlies here at OneFabDay are suckers for beautiful stationery. Ever since Laser Cut wedding invitations appeared on our radar we were hooked. Laser cutting is a technology that uses a laser to cut materials, mostly used in industrial settings but more recently has been adopted by paper companies and the fashion industry to become a red-hot trend.

Alljoy Designs, based in Dublin, is a graphic design company established in 2009. We love their range of laser cut wedding and engagement cards as well as their huge range of other greetings cards. Personally I think some of their non-wedding designs would make for really stand-out laser cut wedding invites.
We also love their beautiful map of Dublin City, created entirely by laser cutting. Inspired by everyday life in Dublin, it would make for an amazing wedding gift for those from the capital! www.alljoydesign.com
Chartula Studio was founded in 2003 by designer and illustrator Charlotte Hewson on London's Portobello Road, creating beautifully designed, exquisitely printed, couture stationery, for the sophisticated and style-conscious. Chartula has created laser cut stationery for some well-known names including Rod Stewart and Penny Lancaster and Sophie Ellis-Bextor and Richard Jones, and offers a bespoke service creating tailor-made stationery that is as individual as the couple themselves.
If you love the idea of laser cut, but the wedding stationery is a bit out of the price range, there is a myriad of other amazing options for your big day like bunting from The Hummingbird Card Co. or Cloth Ears. You can even find laser cut paper cake wraps from Paper Orchid Stationery and gorgeous laser cut cupcake wrappers from Not On The High Street.
The possibilities are endless with laser cut wedding invitations and stationery and that is why we love this trend. Not the cheapest stationery option but you really do walk away with a piece of art which you can cherish forever.
