This wedding was amazing.  Held at the Fort Worth Zoo, Lindsey and Reid had flamingos, penguins, sparkle, shine and lace at their fall fete.

Here are a few photos and you can check out more on Style Me Pretty Texas!

Wow – I was so privileged to work with such a great group of creatives on this unique style shoot.  Think: Metallic, sequins, desert, soft and dreamy.  Plus, it was all captured on film by the oh so talented Taylor Lord.  A couple photos below – but check out the whole feature on 100 Layer Cake here.

Many thanks to the fabulous Lindsey Zamora for including me and this fantastic group for putting together something special.

Today I am loving the gold and black for a lovely anniversary party.  The square invitation (and monogrammed belly band) in black and gold works perfectly with the gold ink on black envelope.

Last summer a little end of summer bash was thrown and I had the joy of addressing the envelopes.  Since this was not a wedding, and the envelopes were black, we decided to do something a bit more casual while still pretty.  I did a play on the old teaching Palmer style and was quite happy with the look.

Meredith and Julian married at the Greenbrier in West Virginia and it was a beautiful wedding!  You can see photos from the entire weekend on their Style Me Pretty feature. I had the pleasure of working on the rehearsal dinner calligraphy.  We did table numbers, seating cards, food signs and directional signs – all in glittering gold on deep black paper.  Everything turned out beautiful.  All photos are provided by the talented Christian Oth Studio.

I LOVE seeing the bride & groom looking for their seating card at the event!  So wonderful.

Isn’t their wedding portrait gorgeous?

I loved working with a Munich company on this catalogue for spectacles.  Each frame was named and had a different (but cohesive) lettering style.  The cover is just stunning and every bit of the inside is beautiful.  I have several picks for some new glasses now :-)

I am smitten with the new logo for Joyce.  Joyce Kang is a talented photographer based out of Austin, Texas and needed a refreshed look to express her style of photography.  We created a custom logo that I feel truly represents her photography – happy and full of life and movement.  She does such a great job at capturing her subjects personality and I hope I did the same for her.  You can see the new look on her website and with a few lovely stamps to be used in her packaging.  The large one is so large for packages – I LOVE IT!

I love this recent photo – and the watermark :-)

Wow – back in the June 2011 issue of Traditional Home Magazine I had a few great shots of my calligraphy partnered with the lovely paper stylings of Orange Spot Pink Nose.  (pages 64 and 66 if you have the print copy!)

L.A. based event planner Rachel Hollis put together a refresh of the white china chosen years ago with new bold service plates and linens.  This inspired a lovely rich and warm new look for the dining table.  You can see my hand lettered menu and place cards that hang on the back of each chair rather than at the head of the place setting.

I love the look and functionality of this – frees up valuable space on the table for all the plates, glasses and silverware! You can also see a little hand lettered tag for a sweet take home treat – perfect end to a evening with friends.

On a side note – you can also see my menus used by Rachel for a TV segment on Fox 5 San Diego talking about Valentine’s Day on a Budget :-)

It is so nice to work with a great group of vendors on a photo shoot & see such lovely photos & write up on the blogs!  This week a Lace & Film Wedding Ideas photoshoot was featured on Ruffled blog and it is so lovely.  I love how it is a little vintage modern and not rustic!  The blacks and whites used in the stationery really popped and coordinated well with the vintage cameras, film canisters and reels.  It was perfect for this Los Angeles photo shoot.  Here are a couple of images – but check out the blog for the inspiration shoot and the diy posts on the escort & place cards, photo table runner and hanging light bulb chandelier.

I was so thrilled to see Cate & Tim’s wedding on Style Me Pretty (almost 2 weeks ago!) and just had to share the images with you.  They were married at the glamorous St. Regis in Washington DC last October and it was quite an event.  Haute Papier did such a great job on the stationery and asked me to do a little calligraphy in my Mitty style for this black & white + cookies & wine wedding.

LOVE the starburst dots and type treatment on the menus.  I also did the cookie signs on black paper with white lettering… which always makes a bold statement.  Check out more at the Style Me Pretty post and be sure to watch the great film by Inkspot Crow Films.

Congratulations to Cate and Tim and thank you to Style Me Pretty for the lovely post!
