Something Blue - stitched wedding words

A special stitched something blue...

Allow us to make your special day even more meaningful by carefully creating a unique Something Blue for you to add to the inside of your wedding dress.  

Transform a handwritten note from a loved one, a favourite quote, or short poem into a carefully embroidered piece that can be stitched to the inside of your wedding dress, jacket or waistcoat for your big day. 

And then when you have said 'I Do' you can detach it and save it forever as a memento from the best day of your life.  Frame it, add it to a cushion or blanket, include it in your wedding album...save it for your children and grandchildren. 

Each piece is carefully embroidered onto a 23cm x 23cm piece of luxury white Irish linen, ensuring plenty of excess fabric around the wording to allow your seamstress or tailor to easily attach it to your dress, jacket or waistcoat in a way that preserves it to be detached for framing or storing as a keepsake.  

If you would like to attach the piece yourself, all that is required is a simple straight stitch or couple of small safety pins to secure it to the lining

How it works...

Upload a clear photograph of the handwritten note, doodle or drawing during the checkout process.  Pictures should be simple line drawings.  Painted or crayon pictures are not suitable.  If you are unsure, please contact us before placing your order by emailing studio@crecora.com or send us a DM via our Instagram page.  We will happily discuss the piece with you to ensure that we are able to meet your requirements.

We will review the image before carefully hand-digitising the handwriting, doodle or drawing, transforming it into a unique embroidery file.  Should we have any questions or queries, we will contact you to discuss them.

Each piece is then carefully stitched on a piece of Irish Linen fabric, before being hand-finished and, if required, framed.  We also ship unframed artworks for you to frame to your own needs or incorporate into another project e.g. a cushion.  

The finished piece is then carefully packed for shipping and sent to the address stated on the order.

In the event that the photograph you submit is of insufficient quality, we will contact with you to arrange for a replacement image to be sent to us.  Additionally, if the image contains too many words, we will discuss ways in which we can customise it to fit the available space.

All pieces are stitched using blue thread.

If you are unsure what you would like, simply email us at studio@crecora.com or send us a DM via our Instagram page and we will chat through the process and what is possible with you. 

The design and production time is approximately 10 working days.  Should you require your piece sooner, please contact us before placing your order.

Frequently asked questions...

How long does it take to create the piece?

The hand-digitising and production time is approximately 10 working days.  If your requirements are complex, we will advise you of the length of time it will take us to complete your piece.  Equally, should you require your piece sooner, please contact us before placing your order as we may be
able to fast-track it for you.

We are based in a rural community and want to support our local post office.  Because of this, all packages will be shipped via An Post. 

Once your order is dispatched, you will receive an email from us.

Please note that order processing and delivery may take longer during busy periods such as Christmas.

What if I need my order in a hurry?

If you need your order in a hurry or to be delivered by a specific date, please contact us before placing your order to make sure that we can meet your needs.

How many words can I include?

We recommend no more than 15 words. However, if you require more we will happily work with you to meet your needs.

Can you embroider directly on my wedding dress?

This isn't a service that we currently offer.

Can I send you some of my wedding dress fabric for you to embroider on?

Yes, we will happily embroider on fabric supplied by you. We ask that you send us a piece of fabric that is at least 25 cm x 75 cm to enable us to test and adjust the stitch tension etc. Please email us at studio@crecora.com in advance of placing your order if you would like to do this.

Can I have a different colour thread?

Yes. We are very happy to provide you with a different thread colour. In order to for you to approve the thread colour, we will need to send you a sample in advance of stitching taking place. This will add approximately five days to the production process. If this is something that you would like to do, please email us at studio@crecora.com prior to placing your order.

What if I only want to use a few words from a long letter?

Simply email us a picture of the words you would like us to embroider and we will
create your piece for you. Our email address is studio@crecora.com.



Am I able to select a few words of one part of a note, and then a few words of another part?

Yes. Because we digitise by hand, we are able to move individual words or elements
around to fit your requirements. Equally, we may recommend that we move words contained in a long sentence across two or more lines to ensure that they fit within the available space and are easy to read. We will not do this without your permission.

What happens if you can’t use the photograph I uploaded?

We will contact you to arrange for you to send us an alternative photograph.

Can I talk to you before I place an order?

Yes, we are happy to talk to you via video call. This will enable us to talk through what it is you are looking for, see the original letter, note, doodle or drawing to ensure that it is suitable, and provide you with a specific timeline and/or cost if your piece is more than 15 words in length, one colour, or particularly complicated. We are also happy to chat through bespoke fabric and framing options. Email us at studio@crecora.com to arrange a call.

Do I have to sign for my order?

If you have opted for Express (Next Working Day) Delivery, you will need to sign for your package.

What should I do if I haven't received my order, or if I have a problem with my order?

Please allow 1-5 days from order dispatch confirmation to receive an order.

If your parcel hasn't arrived after this time period please contact us by email at studio@crecora.com.

If you have a problem with your order, please contact us by email at studio@crecora.com.

Is my order subject to duty payments and customs?

Products delivered to destinations outside the EU may be subject to taxes, fees, levies or other charges, which are imposed by local legislation. 

The recipient of the products is responsible for all customs formalities for their export and import and will be required to pay any additional charges, including import duty, formal customs entry, taxes, levies and other charges.

Please note that it is the recipient of the goods, not the person who ordered them, who will receive a separate request for payment of these charges from the appropriate authority if they apply.

If you're ordering products to be delivered to someone else, please make sure they are aware they will be responsible for any additional charges.

Unfortunately, we have no control over these charges and cannot predict what they may be, so we are unable to offer any assistance on these processes.  We advise that you check the import charges applicable in any country before ordering products to be delivered there. 

All goods ship from within the EU.  Customers in countries outside the EU will be responsible for any tariffs, duties or additional VAT assessed, along with any associated administration fees.
