Getting married is a wonderful experience whatever time of the year it is, but Christmas time seems to add an extra magical feeling to the day.
I know this post is a little late but I couldn’t resist sharing the photo’s of Pink Polar’s visit to the Christmas markets in Germany. One of the places we visited was the magnificant Town Hall (the Rathaus).
The Magnificant 'Rathaus' in Hannover
As we were looking round we came across a newly wed bride and groom having their wedding photographs taken in the main hall.
The Bride & Groom
This splendid building was built between 1901 and 1913. It has a lift that takes visitors up to the spectacular 10m dome, where you can enjoy amazing views over the city. It is a true architectural masterpiece, the interior is as aesthetically pleasing as the exterior, with gorgeous grand staircases, balconies & columns. Along with the small lake at the rear of the building, it is a perfect backdrop for wedding photographs.
The grand staircase
Here are some photo’s of the wonderful markets. As you wander around, clutching your gluhwein for warmth, you are surrounded by the magical lights, the elaborate stalls and the mouthwatering smells from the numerous stalls selling the delicious bratwurst sausages.

The new ‘Chandelier’ collection adds that touch of glamour to any wedding!
As the wedding trend for chandeliers continues to grow as we start a new decade, here at Pink Polar we decided it was high time that we dedicated a collection to this stunning theme.
An icon of elegance and style, the ‘Chandelier’ wedding invitation and matching stationery is perfect for your special day.
The 'Chandelier' Invitation
A selection of colours
We can produce this range in any colour, to match perfectly with your chosen colour scheme.
The full range of stationery is available for this collection. If you would like to see a particular product before I get chance to upload them to the website, please feel free to email me for a copy on jo@pink-polar.com
My latest collection to add to the Pink Polar family of designs is ‘Sentiments’. A beautiful collection of words echoing the sentiments of marriage.
I wanted to design an invitation that used text alone, but one that was still interesting to the eye. I did this through combining the use of different fonts along with varying sizes. When reading all of the words together, they create that warm, fuzzy feeling of what a wedding day and a marriage will be like.
Once again, this collection can be produced in any colour, and there are a selection of colours already created.
The 'Sentiments' Collection
Just some of the colour options available

Are you having difficulty finding exactly what you are after? If so then why not take advantage of our bespoke design service as one of our customers did recently.
Towards the end of last year we were commissioned to design a Table Plan and Table Numbers for a Christmas wedding. The theme was ‘1950’s’, with a colour pallet of green, cream and gold. As the place cards were to be Christmas baubles, we were asked to try and incorporate these into the design too.
Here at Pink Polar we love nothing better than a project to get our creative juices flowing and we really enjoyed the challenge. Below are the three ideas that we came up with.
Concept 1
Concept 2
Concept 3
I am very pleased to say that the customer loved all three of the designs that we produced and in the end it was a very close call between Concept 1 and Concept 3. Can you guess which one won through? Yes, it was the Christmas Tree that swung it (it was Christmas after all :+).
If you would like a custom design, drop us a quick email on enquiries@pink-polar.com and eiher myself (Jo) or Michael will get in touch to discuss your needs.
A hectic Christmas period is over so it’s back to work… We always love to hear feedback from our Pink Polar customers and we received a lovely email to kick off 2010 with a very happy couple!
Sharon and Dave Marks from Clapton in London, celebrated a beautiful wedding over in Ireland. They had chosen the Flockamania Invitations in the striking Fuschia Delight colour scheme. These were Sharons comments:
“Just wanted to say, thank you so much for sending out the invites so
quickly, and so beautifully packaged! I love them, we’re getting them
off in the post this weekend.
Thank you so much – I will be recommending you to all of my friends!”
It’s thanks like these that make it all worthwhile. We were also treated to a couple of piccies of the happy couple on their big day!

Worth the wait, please let me introduce our new collection ‘Butterfly’!
Butterflies are becoming a more and more popular trend for wedding themes, and you can see why. Not only are they pretty to look at, but they conjour up images of spring and summer, of happiness and sunshine. Love is in the air, flowers blow in the breeze as butterflies dance amongst the flowers.

Beat the credit crunch!
The credit crunch looks like it’s here to stay for a while longer yet, so here at Pink Polar we have launched our ‘Bundle Price’ packages, to help with your wedding budgets.
I know that you Brides out there don’t want to compromise on your stationery, as at the end of the day, it’s the first impression your guests get of your ‘big day’ and you still want all your stationery to match. Our new prices help you get more for your money, making this a more viable option in these trying times. The more items you order, the more you save.

Sorry to all you out there who have been wondering where the new design collection for October is…
We have been kept busy at Pink Polar with several bespoke designs that are currently on order. We are in the middle of designing a table plan and table numbers for a 1950’s Christmas wedding in December and also underway is a ’star’ themed wedding collection for a lovely couple who are getting married next summer. Once these are approved I will let you have a preview!
As for my new collection, it will be ready in the next few days (time allowing) so watch this space…
Are you local to Yorkshire and looking for a wedding venue? I have just the place!
On Saturday I went to a wedding at Walton Hall in Wakefield. Having looked on the internet prior to going I was not prepared for the beauty of the place (the photos on their website just do not do the place justice). It is a fantastic venue for a wedding, Walton Hall is a beautiful Georgian Mansion on an Island surrounded by a 26 acre lake.

Walton Hall itself is only accessible only by a picturesque iron footbridge.
