Ancona lives on through Bride and Groom Direct

Ancona Invitation

I first say the Ancona range above when it was introduced on the site I Do Wedding Invites last year.  This site was owned by CCA Occasions and was destined to become their direct sales site to accompany their very successful network of UK agents that has been serving wedding stationery to marrying couples for decades.  It never really took off because shortly after CCA Occasions launched the site it found itself the subject of a takeover by the mighty American publishing and printing giant The Taylor Corporation.  This was no bad thing because The Taylor Corporation also owned Fine Impressions who was already doing the direct sales thing in a big (and successful way) with their Bride and Groom Direct company.

Anyway, enough of the history lesson.  The point I am leading to is that the I Do Wedding Invites is now defunct but the classic Ancona range lives on and can now be purchased from Bride and Groom Direct.  Better still, throughout this month you can pick the range up at a big 25% discount.  The design featured foil emboss in either white and silver or ecru and gold.  I can’t help feeling it is more than a little influenced by the Stardust design from Mandalay which has been around for much longer and if I have to be honest, I would choose the Mandalay invitation every time.  The problem is the Ancona design is a lot cheaper.  I’ll let you decide.
