Bella Figura Calligrapher – Aquinnah

Posted in Pretty Paper, Wonderous Weddings, calligraphy, vendor love on March 13th, 2013 by nicole

I also wanted to show my other lovely design for Bella Figura this year – Aquinnah.

This one is a combination of Mitty and capitals.  The feeling is so different from the last with printing in navy and powder blue.  It is perfect for a destination wedding – whether it is a fancy chateau outside of Paris or a simply lovely beach front wedding.  It really is a universal design and has a feeling of being written by hand – like a love letter to your guests.

Did you know each Bella Figura design can be customized?  You can change the fonts to include all mitty or more capitals.  So many options!

Bella Figura Calligrapher – Gracieux

Posted in Pretty Paper, Wonderous Weddings, calligraphy, vendor love on March 11th, 2013 by nicole

Wedding season is in full swing!  And I have 2 new invitation designs with the lovely & wonderful Bella Figura.

The first is…. awesome.  I used the mitty font in classic black and jazzed it up by placing all the lettering on an angle and adding touches of copper (yes, real copper!) for an accent.  Let me tell you – in person this suite (Gracieux) really shines.

Place your order now.  And for those of you who say – how long does a calligraphy invitation take? My rule of thumb is: allow 3 weeks for designing with Bella Figura, 2 weeks for printing and 2 weeks for calligraphy addressing.    It is better to be early because rush fees can add up!

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.

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?

Mitty Calligraphy is stylish in Norwegian!

Posted in Wonderous Weddings, calligraphy, vendor love on September 6th, 2012 by nicole

Earlier this year I had the pleasure of designing a wedding invitation for a Bella Figura client who is from Norway.  It was super fun to write in a foreign language and this invitation suite turned out lovely.  Check out more on the Bella Figura blog here and thanks to them for sharing!

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!
