San Antonio Calligrapher – Custom Lettering

Posted in Wonderous Weddings, calligraphy, vendor love on July 18th, 2012 by nicole

Wow – 2 years ago this couple tied the knot!  Congratulations!

I am sort of in love with this Betsy White invitation.  The gold dotted stripes make me happy.  The bride already picked out the invitations and in our consultation asked if it was possible to match the lettering.  This is something I do quite often for brides – it never hurts to ask!

Dallas Calligraphy – July 4th at Arlington Hall

Posted in Wonderous Weddings, calligraphy, published, vendor love on July 17th, 2012 by nicole

A few years back I got to work on some pretty patriotic invitations for a fourth of July wedding.  Since we just passed the holiday and their 2 year anniversary, I thought I would share some images.

I really was pleased with the way the addressing turned out with the very bold ornament printed on the envelope.  It did need to be centered for the pretty factor.  We matched the font (which I now offer as a regular – look for it soon on the website) and used a nice blue ink color.  I love the little belly band they used with this invitation, it works really well.
