Hi, could you firstly tell WWW readers a little bit about you?
As a studio of designers and creative individuals, we at The Hummingbird Card Company are thrilled to combine our passion for laser cutting with our enthusiasm for stationery, particularly in the context of weddings. Our small team is dedicated to crafting beautiful and unique items that bring joy to couples on their special day, not just limited to weddings but also extending to other celebrations as well. Our aesthetic often leans towards the whimsical bohemian style, which we strive to infuse into our designs.
What do you love/dislike about your job?
There’s no joy quite like seeing our designs come to life. The thrill of receiving a delivery order is unmatched – watching our little lovelies carefully packaged in tissue paper, nestled in their custom boxes, ready to be sent off to excited brides and grooms. It’s a treat to hear the positive feedback from happy couples who’ve found their perfect stationery match. But what we don’t enjoy is when a couple approaches us at the last minute, only to discover that we can’t meet their deadline. The disappointment is palpable, and it’s heartbreaking knowing we can’t deliver on our promises. That’s why we always advise couples to give their suppliers as much time as possible – after all, most wedding items are custom-made just for them, requiring love, care, and attention to detail.
How did you get into Design and into the wedding industry?
Sally-Ann’s fascination with beautiful things – from intricate lace and whimsical embroideries to vintage treasures – has always driven her creativity. During a trip to Tokyo, she stumbled upon the enchanting art of paper cutting, and an instant connection was formed. Her imagination ran wild as she envisioned delicate paper cutouts perfectly suited for wedding stationery. This serendipitous discovery marked the birth of The Hummingbird Card Company, where Sally-Ann’s passion for design and her newfound love for paper cutting would converge to create unique and captivating wedding stationery.
What do you aim to achieve for your clients?
As we guide couples through their wedding planning journey, we aim to make this part of the process a joyous and stress-free experience. Our goal is for them to find a design that not only reflects their unique style but also perfectly captures the essence of their special day.
To achieve this, we stay current with the latest trends and colors, carefully selecting those that harmonize with our own creative vision. Whether it’s whimsical, vintage, fairy tale, luxe lace or even Gatsby Glamour – our latest fascination! – we’ve developed a keen eye for spotting the perfect aesthetic to bring their wedding vision to life.
Take, for instance, our Boutique Art Deco Peacock concept. This stunning design is just one example of how we can help couples fall head over heels in love with their chosen look.
What style is your work?
With expertise in laser cutting, we’re thrilled to showcase this captivating process. The transformation of a blank card into a intricately designed piece is truly mesmerizing. What’s more, its delicate nature makes it an ideal choice for weddings, where the invitations become treasured keepsakes that are cherished for years to come.
Could you tell us some information about your packages/prices?

Do you have any tips for couples in selecting their wedding suppliers?
When pursuing a passion or interest, it’s essential to heed the whispers of your intuition and take calculated risks. Instead of settling for something that might not fully satisfy you, trust your instincts and aim for the best. The fear of missing out on an ideal opportunity is often what drives people to seize the moment, and in this instance, the whimsical garden party embodies this mindset.
