With the average wedding costing around £20,000 it is important for people to reduce costs wherever they can. Here at Calico Laine, we have customers on a daily basis visiting us for all different wedding related projects as they try and create some handmade features in their big day to keep the costs down and also to create something unique to them. One of our most popular ranges for weddings, aside from our fabric, is our Berisfords Ribbon selection. Ribbons can be used for a variety of wedding items including invitations, car decorations, sashes for dresses and finishing touches on favours. No matter what colour theme you have chosen for your celebration, there is sure to be a Berisfords Ribbon that will co-ordinate. Berisfords Ribbons have a large selection of styles ranging from grosgrain to velvet, chiffon to lame however our biggest seller by far is their satin ribbon range. This ribbon is available in sizes from 3mm up to 70mm and comes in around 60 different shades. If you are looking for a small amount of ribbon, we can supply this by the metre in our Wirral stores however if you need a larger amount, this can be purchased in 20 metre reels or bulk rolls of either 50 metres or 100 metres depending on the size and colour. A big expense for many people when they are first planning their wedding is invitations. To have these made professionally can be quite costly and this is something a lot of people try to do themselves if they are creatively minded. Berisfords Ribbons can be great for invitations as you can use them to show people a taste of your colour theme for your wedding day by adding a strip of ribbon across the invite or by creating ribbon bows. If you are feeling particularly creative, you could even create a scroll type invite and use ribbon to tie the invite up.
