Personalised embroidered lace, designed to sit del Personalised embroidered lace, designed to sit delicately over each cocktail glass, adding guest names, a bridal detail and something a little unexpected to the drinks reception 🥂 Napkins, ribbons, bows, champagne wraps… and now the cocktails are getting dressed too. Made in our Nottingham embroidery studio, and I think these might be one of my favourite little details yet! #weddingdrinksreception #weddingdrinks #cocktailhour #weddingdetails #weddinglace
Well… technically yes. 😂 But it’s probably not qu Well… technically yes. 😂 But it’s probably not quite the camera roll you’re imagining. It’s full of thread colours, linen swatches, ribbon shades, embroidery tests, monograms, proofs, half-finished napkins and photos of almost exactly the same gold thread because one is definitely warmer than the other. When you offer 54 napkin colours, 400+ embroidery threads and endless ways to personalise something, apparently your camera roll starts looking less like Pinterest and more like an extremely niche haberdashery. And I wouldn’t have it any other way! The tiny details are kind of our thing ❤️❤️ #embroiderednapkins #napkins #placesettingideas #weddingplacesetting #embroideredbows
Even the champagne understood the dress code. 🌴🥂 Even the champagne understood the dress code. 🌴🥂 This beautiful palm monogram was designed by @white_orchid_print_and_design … and I just had to try it embroidered onto one of our new champagne wraps. Because apparently, even the champagne needs accessorising. 🌴🌴 Personalised, embroidered and such a fun little detail for weddings, parties and beautifully styled tables. Our new champagne wraps are coming soon… #weddingdetails #weddingmonogram #personalisedwedding #champagnewrap
Well… this was a rather lovely email to open! We’ Well… this was a rather lovely email to open! We’ve officially been named on The 2026–2027 Loverly List, winning Best International Innovator. When I started my little embroidery business, I could never have imagined where it would take me, or that one day our work would be recognised internationally alongside some of the very best in the wedding industry. Every monogram we digitise, every napkin we embroider, every bow we tie and every slightly unusual “could you embroider this…?” request is still made right here in our Nottingham studio by our small team. I’m incredibly proud of what we’ve built, but especially proud that creativity and innovation are what we’ve been recognised for. We’re always experimenting, developing new ideas and finding ways to make embroidery feel personal, modern and completely unique to each wedding. A huge thank you to our wonderful clients, wedding planners, stylists and everyone who recommends, shares and supports our work. Best International Innovator. I think we might have to celebrate this one. 🥂 Thank you @loverly x #loverly #weddingnapkins #embroiderednapkins #weddingtablesetting #weddingplacesetting
There’s something about a Christmas table that des There’s something about a Christmas table that deserves a little extra effort. Personalised linen napkins, embroidered with each guest’s name, paired with rich velvet bows — made in our Nottingham studio before heading off to become part of someone’s festive celebrations. Because it’s never just a napkin or just a bow. It’s seeing your name waiting at the table. It’s gathering everyone together. It’s making Christmas dinner feel that little bit more special. And the best bit? The napkins can come back out year after year, becoming part of your family Christmas traditions. ❤️ Made in our studio. Made for your table. Made to be used again and again.

Because velvet ribbon doesn’t have to be tied into Because velvet ribbon doesn’t have to be tied into a bow to make an impact. For this table, we kept things beautifully simple, rich burgundy velvet wrapped around soft pink napkins, with each guest’s initial embroidered in gold. No traditional place card needed. Their initial tells them exactly where they’re sitting, while becoming part of the styling at the same time. And I love how the deep velvet stops all that beautiful pink from feeling too sweet ❤️❤️ Personal, luxurious, but still really clean. Proof that sometimes one embroidered letter is enough. Save this one if you’re planning your wedding tables.

These photos popped up in my memories this week… a These photos popped up in my memories this week… and I had to share them! 15 years ago, I was a Sales Manager for Janome UK, and these were taken in Florida at a Janome worldwide conference. Long before The Embroidered Napkin Co existed, (I launched @extraspecialtouch in 2009 and @theembroiderednapkincompany in 2018) sewing and embroidery machines were already a huge part of my working life. My background is actually very technical. I’ve worked with sewing and embroidery machines for years, trained people to use them, taught embroidery software, demonstrated machines and spent countless hours understanding what they can do and, probably more importantly, how to get them to do exactly what I want them to do. 😂 Before that, I studied costume for TV and theatre, pattern cutting, machine embroidery and millinery, and worked as a pattern cutter and design assistant too. So when a bride or planner comes to us and says… “I’ve got an idea, but I’m not sure if it can be embroidered…” Those are often my favourite enquiries. Because what you see on Instagram might be a beautiful napkin, a wedding crest, a venue illustration, a handwritten message or an embroidered piece of lace… …but behind it are decades of sewing, embroidery, digitising, textiles and technical experience. It’s also why we do so much of our work completely bespoke. We’re not limited to choosing a design from a catalogue and adding your initials. Give me the slightly unusual idea. The drawing. The handwriting. The venue. The family crest. The thing you’re not quite sure is possible. Chances are, we’ll find a way to embroider it. 🪡 And, 15 years later, I still spend most of my working life surrounded by embroidery machines. Some things really don’t change, and I like love it this way! Heidi x #embroiderednapkins #weddingnapkins
Because sometimes initials are just the beginning… Because sometimes initials are just the beginning… 🪡 Over the years, we’ve embroidered some wonderfully unexpected things onto napkins. The iconic door of The Sloane Club. Pink bags for Kurt Geiger. Brand logo for Shop My. An incredibly detailed wedding crest. Palais Daun-Kinsky in Vienna. Manolo Blahnik shoes. And, of course, some very important four-legged wedding guests. 🐾 If it means something to you, there’s a very good chance we can turn it into embroidery. Wedding venues, crests, illustrations, pets, logos, favourite objects… we manually digitise artwork in our Nottingham studio, choosing every stitch and thread colour to translate the design into embroidery. So when we say custom embroidered napkins, we really do mean custom. Now I want to know - what would you have embroidered on yours? #customnapkins #embroiderednapkins #tablesettingideas #placesettings
