Calista & Belle | Hand-Illustrated Wedding Stationery
I’m Sophie, the designer and illustrator behind Calista & Belle - a bespoke wedding
stationery studio based in Hertfordshire. I create hand-illustrated designs that are completely
unique to each couple, crafted with care, creativity, and a love for storytelling.
Whether you’re drawn to whimsical watercolours, bold inky brushstrokes, or delicate sketchy
line drawings, I’ll work closely with you to bring your vision to life. Every illustration is created
by hand, no templates, no shortcuts, just meaningful, one-of-a-kind artwork that reflects your
personality and the feeling of your day.
I offer a full suite of stationery, from the first save the date through to invitation suites,
signage, menus, place cards and seating plans. I also specialise in venue illustrations, which
add a beautifully personal and recognisable detail to your stationery, whether featured on
envelopes, invitations or signage.
I understand how overwhelming wedding planning can be and I aim to take the stress out of
your stationery and make it a fun and enjoyable experience. I’ll guide you through every
stage of the process from timelines and wording, to choosing the perfect paper, print method
and finishing touches.
Couples come to Calista & Belle not just for pretty paper, but for a creative partnership. I
take the time to understand your story, style and celebration, designing with intention and
emotion to create stationery that feels like you.
I work with couples across the UK and love collaborating with wedding planners and venues
to ensure your stationery perfectly complements your wider aesthetic.
If you’re looking for thoughtful, hand-illustrated stationery that makes a lasting impression, I’d
love to hear from you. Visit my website to find out more or book a complimentary design consultation.
TESTIMONIALS
Alex & Alex
Sophie did such an amazing job with our wedding stationery. The bespoke artwork and
overall design was exactly what we were looking for and we couldn’t have been happier with
the end result. Sophie was so quick to respond and make any tweaks we requested and the
finished items were delivered in perfect condition and very fast. Sophie made the whole
process so easy from start to finish and it was an absolute pleasure to work with her.
Corran & Gareth
I ordered a set of wedding invitations and table name cards from Sophie, and I couldn't be
happier with the results. Sophie created bespoke drawings of the places my fiancé and I
have visited over the years, and they turned out beautifully. Her attention to detail is
impeccable, capturing the essence of each location perfectly.
Not only were the designs stunning, but Sophie was also incredibly efficient. She sent the
completed invites and cards very quickly, ensuring I had one less thing to worry about during
the hectic wedding planning process. The entire experience was seamless and stress-free,
thanks to her professionalism and dedication.
I highly recommend Sophie's services to anyone in need of unique, personalized stationery.
Her talent and commitment to customer satisfaction truly set her apart.

I've worked with Sophie on a number of design projects over the years and there was no one
else I would have asked to design our wedding stationary.
We had a clear vision of what we wanted and she bought this vision alive and delivered
something more than we could have imagined.
She has an amazing talent, her designs are beautiful and she's always a pleasure to work
