The Spark that Started the Fire
It all began with a love story—my love story. In 2015, my wife and I embarked on a new chapter in Scotland, two French souls seeking fresh horizons. Fast forward to 2020: my wife, now a wedding planner at Mademoiselle Wedding, faced a challenge. The pandemic had intensified demand, leaving some clients without wedding stationery designers. That’s when she turned to me.
I’d always dabbled in creating and designing for personal pleasure, but this was different—a chance to channel my skills toward a greater purpose. Wedding invitations, menus, table names—I immersed myself in the art of bringing ideas to life. And the response? Electric. My wife loved it, her clients loved it, and I felt the exhilaration of turning imagination into reality.
“Soyons-fou,” I whispered to myself—let’s be crazy. And so, a few weeks later, Monsieur Design was born. Now, Mademoiselle Wedding and Monsieur Design collaborate under one roof, weaving revolutionary concepts into unforgettable wedding experiences. Welcome to our rebellion against forgettable stationery—where elegance meets provocation, and every piece becomes a cherished memory.
A Revolution, Why?
At Monsieur Design, the idea of starting a “Revolution” was born from a desire to challenge convention and elevate wedding stationery beyond mere paper. Gee, our visionary leader, envisioned a rebellion against forgettable designs. By infusing elegance with provocation, we aim to create high-end, unforgettable concepts that defy tradition. Each piece becomes a testament to our revolution—a celebration of love, artistry, and daring creativity.
Our Revolution embodies our audacity, our refusal to settle for mediocrity. We envisioned wedding stationery as more than ink on paper; it would be a living, breathing part of the celebration. Each design—an act of defiance against forgettable aesthetics.
Our elegance? It dances on the edge of tradition, twirling with sophistication. We embrace timeless fonts, exquisite textures, and meticulous craftsmanship. But there’s a twist—a provocative streak that whispers, “Why not?” Our colors defy convention, our layouts flirt with asymmetry, and our embellishments—oh, they’re rebellious strokes of genius.
Let’s tear down the mundane, stitch memories into silk ribbons, and ignite the revolution—one meticulously crafted stationery suite at a time. Welcome to Monsieur Designs, where love meets artistry, and every piece tells a story worth remembering.
Meet Your Revolution Leader: Gee
Allow me to introduce myself—Guillaume (Gee) Tournoux, the unpronounceable force behind Monsieur Designs. Here’s a glimpse into my world, where fantasy intertwines with self-taught creativity:
The Name Game: My moniker dances on the edge of linguistic chaos—a delightful puzzle for those who dare to utter it. Call me Gee; it’s easier, and it carries the same spark.
Self-Taught Alchemist: My journey? A self-scripted tale of learning, tinkering, and alchemical transformations. No formal degrees, just a hunger for knowledge and a penchant for turning curiosity into mastery.
Fantasy Enthusiast: Dragons, enchanted forests, and forgotten realms—these are my companions. Fantasy fuels my imagination, and I weave its threads into every design, every stroke of the pen.
Book Hoarder: My shelves groan under the weight of fantasy tomes. Worlds within worlds, inked on parchment, waiting to transport me beyond the mundane.
Savory Aficionado: Forget sugary confections; savory delights are my weakness. A well-seasoned dish, a hint of spice—that’s where my heart lies.
Cinema Devotee: The big screen beckons—a canvas for emotions, a portal to other lives. Theatre seats cradle my dreams, and popcorn fuels my cinematic adventures.
Nature’s Whisperer: Birds serenade me, plants share their secrets, and insects dance intricate ballets. Nature—the ultimate muse—guides my hand as I craft stationery that breathes life.
Creator at Heart: From pixels to paper, I thrive on making. Whether it’s a bespoke invitation or a whimsical menu, I infuse each piece with passion and purpose.
Sherlock, My Canine Confidant: A Gordon Setter with soulful eyes, Sherlock is my loyal companion. He sniffs out inspiration, and we explore the world—one paw print at a time.
