Santa Barbara Calligrapher – Peony and Cupcake 50th Birthday

December 15, 2011

It is cold and rainy here (which I love personally), but I was thinking about my spring events coming up and thought I would finally sit down and share this wonderful event with you!  It was such a joy to work with Heidi of Zenadia Design on the calligraphy for the envelopes, menu, place cards, table numbers, and event signs for this beautiful San Ysidro Ranch Birthday party!  Everything was letter pressed and had a pink peony theme.  I addressed the invitations on an angle in the Talia script and a darker pink ink.  The result was stunning.

Kacie Jean Photography provided the rest of the images from the event.  I could not be more thankful for receiving them!

This is the gorgeous centerpieces (and table numbers) as well as a shot of the room during dinner.  Love it!

Here you can see the menu and wine menu sign – lovely in pink!

My favorite part of the whole evening was the cupcake and candy table.  All pink themed with a ton of different cupcake flavors (I think there were 7!).  I Also loved the peony candy tags for a pop of white in all that pink.  And isn’t the hearth gorgeous?  I’m thinking someone can come and do mine like that all year round 🙂

Texas Hill Country Calligrapher – Carrie + David marry in Gruene, Texas

October 25, 2011

I am super excited to share this lovely wedding with you today.  Carrie is an invitation designer herself for The Event Messenger, but had me do a little wedding map for her welcome guest bags during her wedding.  It was held at the T Bar M Resort in the Texas Hill Country.  A beautiful backdrop to her rustic ranch wedding. the bride and groom used 3 days to celebrate!  With a Thursday night rehearsal dinner, Friday night BBQ, river float,  and Saturday wedding all of the guest felt like family by the end of the weekend.

Here is a peak inside the welcome bag – you can see my map on the right side.  I loved the wood grain sign with their names!texas hill country calligraphy

Here is a picture of their wedding reception.  Stunning. I love that everything had the orange string tied around it to keep with the “theme” 🙂

And they had a team full of great vendors:  Sweet Pea Events, Lavender Joy Weddings, Table4 Weddings, ee Photography, Elle Films, Kate Foley Designs, Frosted Pink and Me 🙂

Engagement Calligraphy – Travel Themed Engagement

October 20, 2011

I loved being able to participate with a fun engagement session styled by Stephanie Miles of Lavender Joy Weddings and photographed by Ryan Ray. The Idea was by “Bike, Boat or Balloon” and they covered all three!  The Bride (Linda) and Groom (Richie) had me pen a little title in gold on a gorgeous leather bound journal that they will keep their travel tales in.  It made a little feature in this fun engagement session!

Stephanie also used Rent my Dust to get fun props for the other sessions.  Like a fantastic monocular and vintage luggage.  Besides the magnificent hot air balloon, I must admit I am smitten with the boat scenes.  I think I may have to plan a fun date night with a picnic around that idea 🙂

This session did not come easy though!  It took 4 different tries to get the hot air balloon pictures because it is so windy in Texas!  Thank you all for the persistence because they turned out beautiful.

Also, a huge thank you to wedding chicks for featuring this lovely engagement shoot yesterday!

Arkansas Calligraphy: Dale + Meredith in Tuscany Italy

August 7, 2011

Another super fabulous wedding I worked on with Amy from Sincerely Yours Paper.  This couple is so special because they are Meredith and Dale from Benfield Photography (all photo credits to them).  Since their wedding was going to be small and intimate they decided to go super lux with letterpress, calligraphy and mailing boxes.  So lovely!

Arkansas Calligrapher: Marissa + Tyler @ Marlsgate Plantation

August 1, 2011

I LOVED working with Amy over at Sincerely Yours Paper on Marissa and Tyler’s wedding calligraphy.  Marissa is an unconventional bride and wanted a very modern and clean look for her calligraphy.  We paired the mitty font large and centered on the gravel grey envelopes with a single line of capital lettering smaller and centered below.Arkansas Calligraphy

Amy did an amazing job on the invitations – they are clean and lovely.Sincerely Yours Paper

Aren’t the bride & groom so gorgeous?  Love her dress! Photography by Benfield Photography.  Event planning by the fabulous Finishing Touch Event Design.
