Who we are
Printed Weddings is run by Craig Fearn, a UK sole trader. Email hello@printedweddings.co.uk, or write to 124 City Road, London, EC1V 2NX. There is no phone line. Contact us has everything in one place.
We don't print anything ourselves. An independent print partner makes each order and posts it to you, with free delivery to UK addresses.
What we make
Printed Weddings makes one kind of thing: a keepsake of the two of you. Upload a favourite photo (the first dance, the confetti, the quiet moment after) and an AI image model restyles it in oil, watercolour, pencil or pop art; our print partner then prints it on canvas, paper, metal or wood, framed if you like, or on a mug or a water bottle.
You see a free watermarked preview before you pay. Or we'll print your photo as it is, checked against every size we sell. Prefer words to a picture? The wedding date print sets your names, the date and the venue in type.
Everything is made to order. Nothing sits in a warehouse, and nothing is printed until it has been ordered.
How the guides are written
We are not wedding planners and we do not pretend to be. What we can offer instead is a practice: the anniversary and etiquette pages on this site are traced to a primary source, and where there is no source we say so instead of repeating what everybody else repeats.
In practice that means the year-by-year materials come from Debrett's, not from a gift blog; the rule about which anniversaries get a message from the King is quoted from GOV.UK; hallmarking comes from the Goldsmiths' Company Assay Office and from Business Companion, the government-backed Trading Standards guidance; and the reason you cannot buy ivory for a fourteenth anniversary is the Ivory Act 2018 on gov.uk.
What that discipline costs us
It is easy to claim sourcing and hard to show it, so here is what it has meant.
We had published, on our own first-anniversary page, that the modern anniversary list was introduced by the Chicago Public Library in 1937. Checked properly, it does not hold up: the 1937 list is credited to the American National Retail Jeweler Association, and the library publishes no such list. We corrected our own page and said why.
We do not have a page on anniversary flowers and colours, because we could not find an authority for one. Debrett's assigns no flowers at any year, and the florists' charts disagree with each other. A page would have been easy and would have ranked; it would also have been made up.
And where a fact is contested we say it is contested instead of picking the confident version. The attribution of the modern list reaches us through a 2001 book, not a surviving 1937 document, so we describe it as an attribution, not a fact.
What we sell, and where it sits
The guides are free to read and carry no obligation. Where something we make is relevant to what a page has explained, it appears once, below the part you came for. Where it is not relevant, it does not appear. Nothing more to it.
