As you may or may not have seen, Elle Bee is going to be moving HQ in the coming days - from our little home-based studio to a 870 square foot converted barn in Stockwood. We're so excited to take this step! Over recent weeks we've been systematically moving things across, where we've also taken delivery of our new beast of a guillotine, letterpress machine, loads of new furniture, storage, and everything it takes to get a new premises up to speed. On the morning of Thursday 23rd February all of the big stuff will be moved, so that's our three printers (Bertha, Betty and Goose), our ..read more

We have some very exciting news to share! For those that know of our setup, our current studio is attached to the side of our house and it's been good to us. But for a while now we've been hitting our knees on cupboards and there isn't room to swing a cat with all of our machinery, materials and alike. So we are proud to say that we are going to be moving into a premises; we have the keys, we now just have to fill it! Our goal is to be fully operational and on-site working by the 27th of February. We've got a ton of work to do to get everything ready, as whilst we're taking all of our current ..read more

Hi everyone, Sadly we've recently been made aware of the closure of a large paper mill in the UK with rising energy and material costs being cited as the main reasons for the closure. Our thoughts go out to all of those that are affected by this and have lost their jobs as a result, which is extremely sad. It's entirely possible that the mill could end up in the hands of another company, which we hope will be the case so that it can continue operating but for now, we just don't know. There is a knock-on effect for us in that there is going to be a potential shortage for one of our ma ..read more

Hi everyone! It always feels strange to be talking about Christmas when the clocks haven't even gone back yet but we know from experience people love to get organised in advance for Christmas. And that extends to Christmas cards, and getting these ready to be sent to nearest and dearest. So this year we've given our Christmas card designs a spring clean and expanded them to cover a ton of more styles. But this year, we've gone a step further and reduced the price of packs of cards, making them even more affordable. Cards for Individuals This year we've added a bunch of modern cards for differe ..read more

Carrying on our inability to sit still for 5 minutes, we are very happy to introduce our Raw Edge Silk Ribbon Place Cards!

There are now 20 colours to choose from when pairing wax seals with invitations, which are as follows: Up until now all of our colours have been pearlescent - but with these new colours, a number of these are a stylish an ..read more

Hi everyone! It's been quite a few weeks and months for us, we had the National Wedding Show and then, when we got back, we launched straight into having our home studio gutted and re-fitted, all whilst having one of our busiest periods of the year! On the subject of the studio, we are now 99.9% of the way there and are back in our lovely new space - we have our new computers on order and then we're pretty much set for 2022 and beyond! Time for a little break... We're definitely in need of a few days off as 2021 hasn't stopped and it feels like the number of days we've had off this year c ..read more

Hi everyone! This year has been an absolutely crazy one for us and, slowly but surely, things are settling down a touch as we move into the winter months. In a couple of weeks' time we'll be in our last day of exhibiting at The National Wedding Show in Birmingham. However, shortly after, and very excitingly, we'll finally be getting a studio refit! For those that don't know, Elle Bee Design is an entirely home-run business and we've been bashing our heads against our space for quite a while, especially as things get busier. So the decision for us was either to up sticks and put the business in ..read more

Attending wedding fairs and exhibitions is part of parcel of being part of the wedding industry and whilst we've scaled down the number we attend each year, it's still a great opportunity for us to get in front of people and get creative with what we want to show, and how. This year, we're going particularly big as we'll be exhibiting at The National Wedding Show at Birmingham NEC; our very first national show! Specifically we'll be at stand B37, next to the Champagne Bar. This is a massive undertaking for us, we've never done a multi-day event before and due to the setup, we've had to do ..read more
