Sally is certainly no stranger to planning and design as well.  She has developed a stylish collection of designer Wedding and Event Stationery & Accessories offering an extensive selection of designs to choose from, or something completely unique can be created especially for the client.  Special designs can also be created for anniversaries, stag/hen nights, engagements, christenings, birthdays, other special occasions, as well as community and corporate events and functions.

In addition to the standard stationery items, a collection of Wedding and Event Accessories are available such as Table Plans, Guest Books, Favours, Menus, Place Cards, Table Numbers, Programs, etc., and with some stationery collections, these items are available to match the chosen design. 

In 2005, the business expanded to provide a more extensive selection of Wedding Accessories including items such as tiaras, formal gloves, fingerless bridal gloves, garters, guest books and pens, albums, ring cushions, cake serving sets, signature frames, etc.

In the autumn of 2011, the Wedding Headquarters website was launched, which was designed and created by Sally.  After many years in the wedding business, Sally realised the need for a complete and informative wedding information website that is well organised and easy to navigate.  The website provides a Wedding Information section, Service Directory, Wedding Planner, Fairs and Exhibitions Listing, Your Stories section, a Forum, plus lots of links on every page to help couples find what they need quickly and easily, with new information being updated and added on a regular basis.

"We are proud of the professional relationships that we have built in the wedding industry over the years, and it is the mission of Wedding Headquarters to provide a wealth of information for today’s engaged couples as they begin planning their special day."

In October 2012, Sally was delighted to learn that SC Lloyd Designs was shortlisted as one of the Top 5 finalists nominated for 'Best Stationery' at the 2012 Welsh National Wedding Awards being held in November.

"It is such an honour to be nominated and many thanks to everyone that voted for us."

Creating a unique design for her own wedding made Sally realise that there was a niche for a business that could provide something different in terms of design, as well as a more extensive range of matching accessories for clients to choose from.

"When we got married, we wanted an elegant design that we could have on all our stationery, and on other accessories, so that everything would match.  We found lots of companies offering stationery with a choice of design pieces on the cover, and they all offered some lovely choices, but we wanted something ‘different from the norm’.  I created our design myself with each item of stationery and reception accessories matching our design and colours.  I had many compliments and suggestions that I should market my designs and products, which sparked the beginning of the wedding element of SC Lloyd Designs."

As the economic climate continues to be an ongoing concern for everyone, clients can rest assured that SC Lloyd Designs' prices remain very competitive.

"As we are continually working to source the best prices from our suppliers, many of our prices have not increased at all in the past few years.  We can be very creative when it comes to helping our clients achieve what they want according to their budget."
