Italy Calligrapher – Courtney + Neal in Ravello, Italy

Posted in Wonderous Weddings, calligraphy, inspirational, vendor love on June 26th, 2012 by nicole

These two are about to celebrate their 2 year anniversary and I think that I can finally share the photos of their stationery!  I worked with Julian Leaver (who is now with Bella Flora) and the lovely Hollye Edwards of Carta Creations.  They had a beautiful wedding in Ravello, Italy filled with photographers Karlisch + Wrubel and DJ Lucy Wruble mixing the tunes.  It sounded like an incredible event.

These are the great save the dates.  We used the Jane font – the envelopes were pretty tiny so it worked out well.  I love the envelopements pattern liner and folder.

The invitations had the same colors palette.  I adore the cute monogram tag and thick satin wrap that holds the suite together.

A few iphone pics from Julian.  The estate tables under the incredible arching ceiling is simply stunning.

The escort cards – hanging by more pretty satin ribbon… and a close up of the table setting – you can see place cards and personalized menus adorned with my calligraphy.

Finally – Congratulations to the couple and happy anniversary!

Texas Calligrapher – Emily + Colby Marry in Marfa, Texas…. And Martha Stewart Weddings!

Posted in Wonderous Weddings, calligraphy, inspirational, published, vendor love on February 27th, 2012 by nicole

Wow.  Emily and Colby married in Marfa, Texas last year with gorgeous and happy details.  Emily chose to use a happy color palette of pink, orange, marigold, and cornflower blue to play off the desert hues beyond dirt :-)  Cacti, paper lanterns, loose and “picked” floral and crochet horseshoe favors graced the reception for the dapper looking couple.  A few of my favorite Dallas vendors helped to pull this beautiful wedding together and now it is featured in Martha Stewart Weddings.  No pictures of my work this time (I will work on getting something good to share) – but I did get a mention!texas calligraphy martha stewart

Great work to: N. Barrett Photography, Bows & Arrows and Southern Fried Paper!

Orange Calligraphy: Jayne and Dac in Indiana

Posted in Wonderous Weddings, calligraphy, vendor love on June 27th, 2011 by nicole

I love, love, loved working with Jayne and Dac on their wedding stationery.  First of all, Jayne came to me with beautifully letterpressed invitations from smudge ink - and wanted everything in Orange ink!  They had a lock and key theme that played through the whole wedding – don’t you just love it?

Jayne used Bobbi and Mike as her photographers and they did an awesome job! Jayne designed a door for the escort card display.  Each escort card had a key tied too it and the back was stamped with my calligraphy saying “the key to a happy marriage”.  Didn’t it turn out beautiful?

The menu cards were lovely too, round to sit in the plate perfectly printed in orange!

Congratulations Jayne and Dac – hard to believe it’s almost been a year :-)

Baby Shower Calligraphy

Posted in calligraphy, kudos kiddos, vendor love on June 6th, 2011 by nicole

I LOVED every minute of this order I worked on with the so talented Color-Box Letterpress.  We did the save the dates, invitations and party materials for the special event.

For the Save the Dates and Invitations everything was soft and baby in the lightest greys and blues with thoughtful touches like letterpressed envelope liners.  I matched the ink color and created a special font for this client.

I wish I had photos of the lovely invitations – they looked similar but had blue crocheted baby booties attached!

For the party a long table was set up for the brunch and color theme was hermes orange.  It took me forever to mix this color to match perfectly, but patience payed off!  These turned out perfectly.

A big thank you to Rhonda – your work really helps highlight the lovely calligraphy!
