I had the privilege of interviewing Vaishali Shah, the Founder and Creative Director of Ananya Cards Here’s what she had to share about the art of creating memories that last a lifetime through the medium of elegant, personalized stationery.
Q. With Ananya Cards’ commitment to blending cultures, how do you ensure that each stationery piece resonates with the individual traditions of your clients?
A. Ananya Cards takes pride in blending diverse cultures into our stationery, honoring the unique stories of families uniting. Our global reach, from Europe to Dubai and India, allows us to embrace and celebrate a wealth of traditions with our clients worldwide.
Q. Considering the diverse locations of your clients, what are the most popular stationery trends you’re seeing in Dubai and London right now?
A. Sustainability is a key trend, with eco-friendly choices allowing couples to celebrate without harming the planet. Bold colors and cultural motifs are in demand, moving away from last year’s minimalism. Personal touches like monograms and custom illustrations are popular for storytelling. Digital elements are blending with tradition, offering convenience and interactivity. Lastly, destination weddings are on the rise, with stationery reflecting the spirit of travel and multiple celebration events.
Q. Can you share an instance where custom stationery from Ananya Cards significantly enhanced the ambiance of a high-profile event?
This year, I crafted bespoke stationery for a notable event at London’s Dorchester Hotel, attended by a distinguished crowd. The stationery suite, featuring animated invites and calligraphed menus with golden accents, embodied the event’s Modern Heritage theme. The vibrant designs and personalized details received high praise on social media, enhancing the guest experience and leaving a memorable imprint.
Similarly, for an exclusive gathering at Kensington Palace, I designed custom stationery that complemented the event’s grandeur, making a significant impact on the attendees and the event’s triumph.
Q. Could you walk us through the collaborative process with planners and venues to ensure a seamless theme across all stationery?
A. At Ananya Cards, we cherish collaborating with wedding planners and venues to provide a streamlined and personalized service. Our process starts with understanding the couple’s vision, leading to a creative partnership that brings their story to life through unique stationery. Through ongoing dialogue, we ensure that every design element aligns with the wedding’s theme, offering couples and planners a seamless experience that captures the essence of their celebration.
