As royal wedding fever gripped the nation, several Staffordshire<br />
Chambers’ members joined the party, either holding celebratory events or<br />
producing specialist commemorative gift-ware to celebrate HRH Prince<br />
Harry and Meghan Markle’s big day.<br />
We take a snapshot look at the businesses who jumped<br />
on board the royal event of the year.<br />
Dreamair<br />
The Stoke-on-Trent giftware company, Dreamair created a full range of Royal Wedding<br />
memorabilia.<br />
Specialising in the production of specialist giftware for all occasions, the business<br />
produced a selection of items including a heart tin, coaster, fine bone china mug<br />
and an enamel mug to celebrate the big day.<br />
Mair Williams, Owner of Dreamair, said: “As we specialise in producing personalised<br />
giftware for special occasions, how could we not produce something bespoke to mark<br />
the Royal Wedding? We’re absolutely delighted with the range and they proved to be really<br />
popular with orders coming in from all over the world.”<br />
Emma Bridgewater<br />
Emma Bridgewater produced two<br />
special commemorative<br />
mugs to celebrate the<br />
wedding of HRH Prince<br />
Harry to Meghan<br />
Markle.<br />
The mugs were<br />
handmade in the<br />
Emma Bridgewater<br />
factory and continued<br />
the company’s thirty-year<br />
long history of making royal<br />
commemorative ware.<br />
The first half pint Royal Wedding Mug<br />
features elegant scripting with the<br />
groom and bride’s names and wedding<br />
date, as well as text that reads: “Game<br />
changers, free spirits, big hearts &<br />
well-suited.” The mug also has a row<br />
of crowns and hearts in<br />
red and blue and comes<br />
complete with a bespoke<br />
backstamp.<br />
The second mug features a classic<br />
hand-applied spongeware design, with<br />
the couple’s names and wedding date,<br />
as well as regal scrolls and crowns in<br />
blue and red.<br />
Emma said: “We are proud to continue<br />
the honourable tradition of making<br />
pottery to mark national events. We<br />
have been making commemorative<br />
ware since 1985, celebrating events<br />
such as the Diamond Jubilee using<br />
traditional techniques in our factory<br />
in Stoke-On-Trent. Royal themed<br />
pottery made in Staffordshire can be<br />
traced back to the time of Charles II,<br />
and we are thrilled to see celebration<br />
through pottery continuing in 2018<br />
with Harry and Meghan.”
