The Company

Mandalay was formed in 2002 when Kirsten teamed up with Jill Hembling to launch their own dedicated wedding stationery company. Concentrating on giving their clients exceptional quality, professional design and efficient and friendly service which they felt was lacking in the market, Mandalay soon grew into the largest and most successful independent wedding stationery company around today.

Six years on, Mandalay are still renowned for their highest quality of product and service and they are proud to announce that they won the 'Wedding Ideas' award for Best Printed Stationery 2008. The Awards are voted for by readers of Wedding Ideas magazine. The Awards are much sought-after due to the real-life recommendations that lead to a nomination. By winning, Mandalay have been recognised for their grasp of what their customers want, and their understanding of the wedding industry.

The Designer

All of Mandalay's stationery collections are designed by Kirsten Burke, Britain's leading contemporary calligraphic artist. Her unmistakable art-works have been exhibited in museums and galleries throughout the country and her vibrant, inventive style finds her in the enviable position of working for such prestigious clients as Harrods and The Globe Theatre. Her 'First Class' birthday cards and every day cards are available in shops nationwide. www.kirstenburke.co.uk

The Calligraphy

With the art of calligraphy very much back in Vogue, Mandalay are ahead of the pack with over fifteen years of experience as professional calligraphic artists. Moving into the wedding market from a calligraphy background, the company is able to fulfil any lettering requirement, bringing elegant styles of lettering into a wedding package. Mandalay's team of scribes complete Kirsten's collections by hand lettering place cards, envelopes, guest book and photograph album inscriptions, as well as wedding readings and vows.
