A Touch of Regency Elegance
Glasgow-based fine-art-inspired wedding and event company Maria Elizabeth has unveiled a breathtaking new Bridgerton-inspired stationery collection. This luxurious suite, perfect for those who adore timeless elegance and classical style, is set to transform the wedding stationery landscape.
Maria Elizabeth, founded by Maria O’Neill in 2021, is renowned for its hand-drawn fine-art stationery, venue styling, calligraphy workshops, and luxury brand artistry. The studio, based in Glasgow, offers its services from consultation to completion, worldwide. Maria, who cultivated her passion for calligraphy during her university years studying classical singing, launched her business on social media after being made redundant during the 2020 pandemic. The demand for her custom calligraphy designs quickly grew, attracting prestigious clients such as Jo Malone, Prada, and brides from Scotland, England, Ireland, Italy, and the USA.
The Bridgerton-inspired stationery suite comprises an invitation, details card, RSVP card, vellum jackets, silk ribbons, and beautiful envelopes with fine-art liners and wax seals. Each item, crafted in shades of ivory, blush, and French blue, features handmade paper adorned with detailed calligraphy and hand-drawn illustrations by Maria herself. Drawing inspiration from the hit Netflix series Bridgerton and her passion for timeless luxury, Maria has created a dreamy, classical design that captures the essence of Regency-era sophistication.
"Bridgerton has inspired people to look past outdated trends and embrace an elegant, classical, and luxe aesthetic, which is Maria Elizabeth’s speciality," says Maria. The new collection is a perfect blend of opulence and artistry. Adorned with delphinium illustrations it mirrors the elegance of Bridgerton’s floral motifs. Delphiniums, blooming from June to September, symbolise the wedding season and complement the opulent floral design of the series. The invitations, featuring hot foil on luxury handmade paper with calligraphy and a wax seal, create a captivating composition.
Maria’s dedication to incorporating her clients' love stories into every design ensures each project is intimate and unique. "Small details are her forte," notes one satisfied client. The Bridgerton-inspired stationery starts at £5.00, with options for additional custom styling and keepsakes like commemorative personalised silk ribbons available on request. Maria’s attention to detail extends beyond stationery, offering a complete wedding aesthetic. The colour palette can be seamlessly integrated into tablescapes with candles, cutlery, table runners, and linen, while the design can be reflected in signage and menus.
