Dallas Ballroom Wedding – Calligrapher

Happy Anniversary to my little sister and her Dallas ballroom wedding!  Since I have yet to share the photos and all her beautiful stationery, I thought this week would be the perfect time to show off all her gorgeous details.

First up! The save the dates and pre-party invitations!  We used the Dylan hand paired with an engagement photo and created some colorful save the dates!

Then we had a couples wedding shower to stock the bar.  This one was fun in my mitty hand to make it really modern and young feeling.

Finally, We had to have a bachelorette invitation.  The main word was in my Dylan hand with a little silver added for some sparkle.  The envelopes were black with silver lettering and confetti was put in the envelope so it was a party ready to be opened.  The schedule of events was included as well so all the girls invited could make appropriate plans.

Pennsylvania Wedding Calligrapher

As a Pennsylvania wedding calligrapher, my brides always have the best taste in stationery.  They are classic brides.  Brides who choose calligraphy and monograms.  This bride was no exception.

A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of working with an amazing bride out of Pennsylvania.  She opted for an amazing calligraphy wedding invitation, menu, program and more (photos to come!).  I wanted to share her gorgeous stationery suite of thank you note cards.  This bride really knows the importance of the handwritten note and ordered 2 versions of her monogrammed notes!  The large and small size fit every need.

And just for fun, a little behind the scenes. This is my assembly desk getting her other day of wedding stationery counted and packaged!

Calligraphy Seating Cards – New York and Dallas Calligrapher

Leaves have been a trend this year for calligraphy seating cards and they can be done so many different ways!  I think that white looks best on the green to provide the most contrast and easiest to read when the mass of people enter the reception space.  This first one we did tall capital letters to keep a modern and clean look for this fun mitzvah celebration.  These were pinned onto golden apples to show people to their seats.  Lovely!

This second set were handing from a floral tree (how marvelous) for a wedding reception.  They were folded to provide dimension but it was important that we keep everything on one side for this project.  So we used my zanner calligraphy hand in white ink and put the name and table number on the same side.  Let me tell you – this was tiny writing when we started getting 2 full names on these.  Since this was a large wedding, the tree was really full with all the beautiful leaves!

New Orleans Event Calligrapher

I am so lucky to have amazing return clients.  This wonderful client and I have been working together on her special events and parties for the past 5 years.  This time we were celebrating a 50th Birthday in New Orleans for the whole family.  I made a few gift tags for the welcome bags and they turned out splendid.  The cards were already foil stamped and edged in gold – and my gold ink in the Grace hand matched perfectly!

There are so many fun things you can do with place cards.  I think the decorative design is a nice touch since the cards are plain so many times.  These could also be used as tags on gift or welcome bags.

It is always and honor to be asked to work on a fellow wedding industry professionals event.  They know the best of the best and when they choose you – hip hip hooray!

This project was for a wedding husband and wife photographers vow renewal last year.  They chose such fun calligraphy for the bright pink envelopes!  My Mitty Caps hand in white ink.

Any celebration can use calligraphy.  From the envelope addressing to the place cards or escort cards.  And wedding calligraphy does not have to be stuffy!  These non-wedding celebrations are a chance to really push the limits and have fun.  The white on pink is one of my favorite joyful combinations.
