Her unique vision and constant will to be the difference between absolutely fabulosity and bespoke loveliness, has brought her to our attention and now to yours.



Eva Slade was born out of a passion for pattern, paper and design, always been fascinated in luxurious papers, brilliant inks and the timeless nature of letterpress printing. Ten years in the design industry was the time to indulge!

What makes Eva such a down to earth gal, is that she believes that wedding stationery should be so beautiful it makes your heart skip a beat. (I just got goosebumps).

Intricate Creations specialise in contemporary, bespoke laser-cut wedding stationery for the sophisticated, style-conscious couples of today. Our couture designs fuse the cultural richness of the East with the chic glamour of the West to form a new, unique trend that is guaranteed to take the industry by storm.

Your wedding stationery should make a statement to your guests… about you, about your personality, and more importantly, about one of the most memorable days of your life. We aim for perfection and attention to detail is key to achieving this. That's why when you choose Intricate Creations as your wedding stationery supplier, you are hiring your very own personal designer.

We understand the need to be flexible with designs, colours and pretty much anything to do with preparing for your big day, and with over 170 card types and colours, a rainbow of crystal colours and a variety of unique stationery styles, Intricate Creations is sure to have something for every bride and groom-to-be. Our motto here at Intricate Creations is “Anything is Possible”.

TIPS BY INTRICATE CREATIONS:

Tip 1. Be open to suggestions from those close to you. Friends and family can often give great ideas that one would normally not think of.

Tip 2. Intricate Creations love telling a story with our stationery. From the first impression of the invitations or Save the Date cards, all the way through to the day with the menu, tables plans and place cards. But it’s the little touches such as our co-ordinating cupcake wrappers, napkin rings and favour boxes that will be remembered and talked about for years to come. Go on, tell your story.

Tip 3. Be bold with your colours. Creams and whites are still in, but big, bold, bright colours are the future. Teals, Fuchsia Pinks, Cadbury Purple, Royal Blue. Make a statement and get that “WOW” factor.

Tip 4. Make sure when ordering your wedding stationery you cater for any last minute changes to the guest list, or any spelling mistakes. Trust us when we say, we have had many brides call us up and ask for more invitations because “so and so” had made a spelling mistake. We recommended always ordering 10% more than you think you will need; in the long run it is cheaper for you!

Tip 5. Leave plenty of time to book for your stationery. Bride’s and Groom’s often leave this to last minute, but we think once you know your venue, dates and amount of guests, then stationery should be next on your list. Stationers get booked up well in advance, and you don’t want to be in the situation where you find your perfect stationery, but the designer is fully book and cannot accept your order. Our advice…sooner rather than later.
