Welcome to Magnolia Rouge - the blog for Ruby & Willow! A place where I share my design work, and things that inspire me in the wedding world. I started the blog in 2009 as a place to share not only my own work but highlight both local New Zealand weddings and vendors, international weddings and as well providing inspiration for brides worldwide. Little did I know how much I would embrace the blogging community and I love being able to share little snippets of pretty with you all.
By the way, comments put a smile on my face, so don't be shy! I'd love to hear from you!
Hi there, my name is Kate and I am the founder and creative director of Ruby & Willow and Magnolia Rouge. I live {way} downunder in Auckland, New Zealand, where I've just moved into a little house in the country which my wonderful husband Jon. I spent almost 10 years travelling and living overseas before finally heading home and dragging an Englishman with me - well truth be told, he was the one pushing me on the plane! After years of working in soul-less corporate positions, I finally bit the bullet and bought a computer, taught myself some design, started my business and have never looked back. Ruby & Willow has grown beyond my expectations and I look forward to where it will take me in the future. I feel very lucky to be able to do something I love. I really enjoy combining colour, image, textures and fonts to create beautiful stationery for your special day. And just so you have a well-rounded picture when I'm not at my desk, these are a few of the things that really make me tick; typography, kraft paper, twine, burlap, vintage stamps, travelling, photography, milkshakes, the scent of fresh cut grass, lakes and mountains (I know that's cheesy but trust me it's where I'm at my happiest), campfires, wildflowers, and log cabins.
Thank you for visiting!! To see more of my work please visit my website or etsy shop (I work with brides worldwide). If you have any questions or would just like to say 'hello' feel free to email me at hello@rubyandwillow.co.nz
