Announcement
As a thank you during these challenging times, we have implemented free UK shipping for orders over £50. There is no expiration for this, and it is automatically applied in your shopping basket!
✘ CURRENT SHIPPING STATUS (As of 13 February 2021) ✘
For all wood sign orders, we are currently shipping within 5 business days. For our fabric banners, these are shipping within 3 weeks as we have a local seamstress helper for the sewing element in the finishing process, and the current nationwide lockdown has affected this.
✘ JANUARY 2021 ANNOUNCEMENT ✘
We have added our latest collection into the shop! We're really proud to offer some personal life-inspired products including our "My Humans are Getting Married" and "In Loving Memory" signs, and we're especially excited to launch a completely new range... fabric wedding banners (including a easy-to-assemble wooden stand kit to go with them)!
To get the scoop on what is new, head over to our Instagram page @highoakandco this month as we share more behind each recently added product.
While our workflow is slightly quicker right now, delivery may be delayed by Royal Mail within the UK because of this new England lockdown announced on 4th January. Please plan ahead should you have a timeline in mind.
Thank you for your support and hope we can all get through this in good health and mental/emotional perseverance!
- Chelsea, Robert, and PB

5 out of 5 starsI had this custom sign made for my friends' 5th Wedding Anniversary (wood!) and it was a great success! I could not fault the compassion and professionalism of HighOakandCo. From the moment we started talking I knew this special gift was in safe hands and they were able take my vision and turn it into a reality.
The gift was packaged beautifully and I could not fault their speedy services.
I can't wait to use them again in the future. -

5 out of 5 starsBeautifully well - made plaques have a soft light finish and the lettering is perfect - clear (and I love the style) i got them as an anniversary gift for my husband and I. Rather than hang them on the wall, I have them side by side on our mantel, with the ribbon threaded through both to join them together. I would order again from this lovely shop.

About HighOakandCo
Love in the Time of Coronavirus Meets Small Shop Dreams
Everything happens for a reason, and it sure did with us. With my kitty Pickles Barrington in tow, I was starting a new life chapter with a sabbatical in the UK, and Robert was seeking his happily ever after. I wasn't expecting to meet anyone on my trip. That sort of thing only happens in romantic comedies, right? Well, I did meet someone. He won me over with a story of saving a baby lamb's life and Christmas socks worn in February, I won him over with American strawberry shortcake, and the rest is history... until COVID-19 busted through 2020 like a Brighton seagull absconding with your chunky chips.
Our relationship accelerated rather quickly when I had to leave my AirBnb earlier than expected because of my host having to return home from overseas. We must have been psychic, really. One week before lockdown happened, being the ever wonderful gentleman that he is, Robert insisted Pickles and I move into his flat until my return flight home. By this time, we already knew we were each other's happily ever afters, but COVID-19 gave us the gift of an unexpected timeline. We didn't know that travel restrictions would make my return to the States impossible until summertime, so in a matter of months, I learned how incredible he was at building things, and I jokingly said we should open an Etsy shop with our talents combined. The joke turned into a vision, and that vision turned into this shop.
So, friends, we found our sunshine in daily life and in this shop. My love of the wedding world rubbed off on Robert, and his resourcefulness continues to make me fall in love with him more with each thing he makes.
Our shop name comes from the great English Oak tree (a symbol of endurance, wisdom, and life) and our being on top of the neighborhood hill. The “& Co.” bit is the emotive brown tabby cat you will see in many photos on social media and in our shop.
No matter how COVID-19 changes the way the world celebrates weddings, we hope to help be a part of your special day and beyond with a bit of American can-do spirit and British ingenuity. ♥

Frequently asked questions
Why do wooden sign colours look different in each listing?
Due to the natural characteristics of mature wood, stain colours can slightly vary from our signature colours in different lighting situations. Wood knots may also be present. These unique attributes make each sign a lovely reflection of the sustainably sourced environment from where it came!

Wholesale availability
At the moment, we do not offer wholesale for our fellow retail friends, but it is on the planning list for 2021.
Can I change the wording on a particular sign?
Absolutely! Some of our signs have personalisation built into some listings. If it doesn't, this would be considered a custom order and would have a custom price and listing just for you. Please message us with your request.
