Rhymes to Remember

Bespoke verse, rhymes and poems for special occasions

Categories: News

It’s A Sign

Around ten months ago, I listened to a podcast where a wedding supplier called Jenni was talking all about how to get your brand right. I came away from that podcast thinking, ā€œwow she is absolutely rightā€ and two months later, deciding to wholly trust everything she had said, I completely rebranded Rhymes To Remember – my website, my business cards, my social media, everything. Then, as if by magic, I suddenly became much more visible to other wedding suppliers, including Jenni! 

Jenni is the owner and extremely talented lettering artist behind The Handmade Sign Company. She got in touch with me as she was taking part in a styled wedding shoot and was looking for wording to add to a backdrop that she’d been asked to make. Well, I was beside myself with excitement after hearing from her. This branding idol of mine had just asked ME to work with her. It was as though ā€œsomeone off the tellyā€ had just come up and said hello to me! 

Anyway, getting back to the story…I wrote a new poem to fit with the woodland theme of the shoot and Jenni delicately hand-lettered it onto calico fabric. The other suppliers on set at the shoot had nothing but encouraging things to say about it on the day and it looked stunning in the photos. 

Since then, we have worked together on countless other shoots, with Jenni hand-lettering my words onto backdrops, wooden signage, handheld banners and even ribbon. We have formed quite a friendship through working together over the last few months and we both love how well our two talents fit together to make such beautiful and unique pieces. 

So, can you guess what comes next? That’s right, Jenni and I have decided to team up to offer backdrops, signage and much more with my poems and quotes on. You have a choice of either using one of the poems or quotes I have already written, or you can have a piece written that is completely bespoke to you. Perhaps it could be your love/life story or maybe your feelings written in poetic verse.

Here’s a few words from Jenni herself: ā€œI’ve had the pleasure of working with Sally over the last few months on a variety of projects, and have always been blown away with her work. Often couples come to me wanting some statement signage for their big day, including large banner backdrops to take centre of their ceremony, however they also tend to struggle with knowing what words to use. Sally is not only able to provide unique words, written bespoke to them and their story, but also provides a beautiful keepsake for even after their wedding day is over.ā€

We are very excited about where this collaboration may take us and have listed some of the things we currently have to offer for weddings and events. But it doesn’t stop at weddings. Jenni also owns a sister company called Cabrelli Design making and selling pieces for the home. So, if you’re looking for something bespoke to hang on the wall then look no further!

We are both always open to new suggestions so if you have an idea that you’d like to discuss with us then we’d love to hear from you. Feel free to email me on info@rhymestoremember.co.uk and Jenni on jenni@handmadesigncompany.co.uk.

ā€œMy bespoke poem for my wedding is everything I dreamed of and more. It’s so very special and I will treasure it forever. Thank you for understanding exactly what I wanted.ā€

"My grandparents were so touched with their poem, and everyone in the family has commented on how well Sally captured the essence of each of our relationships with them."

"I gave Sally a list of things that she did, memories, quirky things that only meant something to us. Sally took the time to speak to me and listen to the stories behind this list so that our poem would have meaning and not just be words on a piece of paper. The end result was amazing."

The first shoot I ever organised myself has only g The first shoot I ever organised myself has only gone and been featured in @lovemydress 🤩

The shoot, titled ā€œLetters Of Loveā€, was held at @shottlehall back in August.  It was a day full of emotion for me as it felt like the culmination of all my work over the last few years was right there before my eyes. My words were showcased on fabric backdrops, on wooden signs, inside the wedding dress, even on the cake!

The team of suppliers involved were just amazing and I’m so incredibly proud of what we achieved together that day. Bravo team!!

I have so many fond memories of my grandparents fr I have so many fond memories of my grandparents from when we were children. Whenever I feel a little bit sad, I take comfort from these memories. Most of them wouldn’t even seem that significant to everyone else...

Rubbing our hands on the herbs in their garden and trying to guess what they were. Colouring in old Christmas and birthday cards using crayons stored in a little drawer in the kitchen table. Dancing around to the built-in songs on the keyboard. Being threatened with having to sleep under the dining table if we didn’t stop messing about šŸ˜‚

Grandparents pass on knowledge and tell us stories of old. They have a special level of patience. They listen. They teach us things. Grandparents have an impact on our lives in ways we never really see or understand until we are grown.

This bridesmaid bouquet from @flowerkraut photogra This bridesmaid bouquet from @flowerkraut photographed by @arius_photography is just...wow! I spotted the photo when it was posted by @becomingone.co and I asked what the ivy like leaves were (I’m not very good with flowers and foliage šŸ™ˆ). Apparently they are nasturtium leaves. Aren’t they pretty? And the colour of the dress is almost identical to the dresses my bridesmaids wore šŸ’š
