Late last year I had the joy of working with some my stationery idols – Bespoke Press out of Australia.  Yes, I have ordered many letterpress prints for my walls from them and was lucky enough to open communication as a potential calligrapher for their discerning brides and grooms.

They commissioned me to do a little lovely lettering for Cheree and Mitchell that really turned out great.  You can see the gorgeous impression in the photos and the design is such a perfect combination of delicate, traditional and modern.  Congratulations to the couple and thank you to Bespoke for working with me (and providing  these gorgeous photos of the finished artwork!)

I am so happy for my 2010 couple Allison and Wes for their feature on the Style Me Pretty homepage last week.  Allison and Wes were so wonderful to work with and such a dear bride, we still keep in touch :-)  Allison worked with the lovely Shari Johns at As You Wish…, The Wildflower for floral and Stacy Reeves for Photography for her wedding day.  We let all of the stationery be classic black and white with a few touches of whimsy to really play up her french romantic wedding, keeping the soft pinks and whites to the reception.  I was able to work with Allison on the envelope calligraphy, escort cards, menu cards that doubled as place cards and the table numbers (love them as chair signs!).  We used Rook lettering in black ink.  Take a look!

And… happy almost 2 years to Allison and Wes!

Wow!  It is February friends!  I thought last year went by quickly, but January just disappeared on me.  It is almost Valentines day and I thought it was time to share a lovely little photoshoot from last year.  Maybe to have a little inspiration for a romantic weekend date!

Here in Dallas, there is a workshop twice a year for photographers called a “shootout” where everyone gets together to practice and critique together.  I was asked to help with some of the products used in this fun little session and it all turned out so wonderful so this next week I will be featuring the different photographers work.

First up many thanks to the people who made it happen!
