Sometimes the tiniest bit of calligraphy has a huge impact. Example below is a guest book – this makes such an impact on the page and is a nice memento for the bride and groom.

Silver and Blue for September
I had the good fortune of being hired to work with a Mother of the Bride helping plan her daughter’s wedding in September. The invitations are beautiful William Arthur in blue ink with a spectacular silver swirl design. We decided to go with an italic script in a matching blue ink.
They did turn out well if I say so myself.
Woo Hoo!
I had the good fortune of learning that I am a featured calligrapher on the EAD Library at Elizabeth Anne Designs. This is a work of love by these two lovely ladies who wanted a comprehensive source to plan a wedding no matter where you live. The library has a search function as well as allow for vendor reviews by the people who matter – our clients!
Exciting times! Thank you for the support!

Married in McKinney
Yesterday I delivered envelopes for a McKinney wedding. The couple liked the clean look of the italic and I was more than thrilled to change up my usual script for the beautiful brown italic. (to be honest, I wanted to keep them and stare at them for a few more days!) I will work on getting a picture of the whole invitation set so you can see where the inspiration came from.
Enjoy!

Had trouble with the computer this week… enjoy all week’s posts at once!
Last week I finished up envelopes for a client getting married with a very casual SoCal destination wedding and wanted a bit more casual calligraphy to accompany it. The final choice fell to the Dexter script with a black ball point pen.
I think they turned out wonderful and she was surprised because they were less expensive than she was expecting because I did not use a dip pen! So for everyone out there wanting calligraphy but afraid of the price tag – don’t be, there are other options out there for you 🙂
