Dallas Calligrapher – Summer Bash

Posted in Pretty Paper, calligraphy, images on January 11th, 2013 by nicole

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.

West Virginia Calligrapher – Julian + Meredith

Posted in Pretty Paper, Wonderous Weddings, calligraphy, images, published, vendor love on December 14th, 2012 by nicole

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.

Earlier this year I had the pleasure of working with Ebony Peoples on a fun wedding favor.  A personalized dinner charger.  I think they turned out stunning and would be really wonderful personalized to the guest for a small dinner or holiday gathering where everyone is seated.

Modern German Calligraphy – Luden & Luder Photobook

Posted in Branding/Logo, Cool Threads, calligraphy, images, published on November 28th, 2012 by nicole

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 :-)

Logo Calligraphy – Joyce Kang Photography Austin, Texas

Posted in Branding/Logo, calligraphy, images, published, vendor love on November 23rd, 2012 by nicole

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 had the absolute privilege of working with Stefanie of Lavender Joy on a little photo shoot over 6 months ago.  The fruits of her labor were finally shared with the public in the newest issue of Southern Weddings Magazine.  She did such a wonderful job that it was also the cover!  Congratulations to Sefanie, Ryan Ray and Bows and Arrows on putting together a simply sweet southern affair.

Dallas Calligrapher – Sheraton Dallas Hotel Wedding

Posted in Wonderous Weddings, calligraphy, inspirational on November 19th, 2012 by nicole

I cannot believe this couple has already celebrated their 1 year anniversary – Congratulations!  Their envelopes were so much fun to work on with the tall layout and customized font to match the new married monogram.  It is so much fun to do something a little different – what do you think of this layout?

Identity and Logo Calligraphy – Styling by Shawna Marie Dallas, Texas

Posted in Branding/Logo, Pretty Paper, Wonderous Weddings, calligraphy, vendor love on November 16th, 2012 by nicole

Earlier this year I had the joy of working with a dear friend on the logo for her new styling shop – Event Styling by Shawna Marie.  Shawna has an eye for the pretty previously working with Style Me Pretty.  You have seen her work around the web here, here, and here.  She needed an identity to match the classic versatility of her services and I set to work.  We came up with a partial calligraphy logo that could also work with her interior design background by changing “Event” to “Interior”.  It is clean and simple and does not push the trendy – perfect for a stylist who needs to have a wide range of ideas for creating such unique events.

Big thank you to HelmutWalker Photography for the lovely photos of her pretty letterpress business cards.
