We’re Supporting Colour Friday

24th November 2022

Today 25th November! Swap Black Friday For Colour Friday This Year And Support Small Businesses Like Ours It’s that time of year again, when the word Black Friday floods our inbox and shoppers seem to go a little bit crazy, lured into discounts and bargains by the big boys which in truth are never quite as good as they appear! Last year, Holly Tucker launched Colour Friday to kickstart a retail revolution for Christmas shoppers. Rather than taking part in the mass consumption of Black Friday, she encouraged the nation to celebrate the colour and creativity that small businesses bring instead,…

Here’s a little update on the new guidance, but you must speak to your venue, wedding planner, caterers and marquee companies, to understand all the rules and…

International Women’s Day

8th March 2017

It’s International Women’s Day today, so here at Hummingbird we want to celebrate with all of you. You unique and incredibly creative females, you talented, strong, passionate and amazing women who can make the working world for women an equal and better place! Having worked in quite a few large corporate companies, run by men, I know that we female entrepreneurs offer far more than just the hard and fast knocks, the straight talking and the results of the bottom line. There’s the struggle to find a work-life balance. The need and desire to live up to what we believe stands for…

Hummingbird Studio…

1st March 2017

Last year we decided that with limited space in our wedding stationery studio we needed to find a new home for Hummingbird Cards. We found 81 Market Street, the perfect place, high ceilings, lots of big sash windows and natural light and views of the castle! The space looked very ‘tired’ it was your classic corporate office, with purple walls, loads of desks and a carpet that had definitely passed its best before date! The transformation started with new flooring, painted white walls, the installation of lots of shelving and slowly the new HB space started to take shape. We moved…
