Going to a wedding next week, so got asked by Sheena to make a pen as a present. So I made a few for her to choose:

Empress in alternative ivory

Streamline in corrian

A pair of Barons in mother of pearl acrylics.

Which would you choose?

As a gift at the wedding I like the sleek lines of the streamline but the Baron looks the biz..

The empress is blingy but not sure if it makes a decent wedding pen.

I was not a fan of the Empress as I thought it looked a bit chunky. I have only made 2 of them out of the 10 that I brought from Axi and they have sold straight away.

I think that for a Wedding Pen the Bling on the Empress might make it the winner.

Who would normally choose the wedding pen the man or the woman that would determine which one was chosen in my experience 9 times out of 10 it has been woman so would a woman choose bling or plain the most expensive or the cheapest answer these questions and you will have your answer

Thou all good looking pens, as a present i would go with the baron, but i like Woody's suggestion of using the ballpoint for the guests ..

I think Woody is right, the bride to be will be choosing, they look too uniformly white although I can't see the pearl acrylics properly.

It all depends on the customer. If it's someone with a bit of class they would probably go for the Barons.
If they are from Salford or Liverpool (you get the type of girl I mean) they would probably go for the biggest blingiest you had, so that would be the Empress :goesred:
Fountain pen for the Wedding pen, rollerball or ballpoint for the guest book :thumbs:

I thought that type of girl from Liverpool didn't do marriage :devil:

The Empress wins it for me but as they are all grand-looking pens I'd be happy for any of them! Nice work, matey!
