Dallas Calligrapher
A few weeks ago a bride asked me to finish some place cards for her Chicago wedding. When the ones she wanted were out of stock on-line (and we were running down to the wire), she popped on over to our local Dallas Paper Source and picked up these lovely gold escort cards in which I used brown ink/gauche in copperplate to write.
They turned out wonderful!
A month or so ago I had the pleasure of working with one of Jordan Payne’s brides in a hip peacock feather inspired wedding. The invitations were made beautifully into a custom folder from the feather colors (my favorite) and I was asked to do the calligraphy.
On the pearlescent envelope I used the matching brown ink in copperplate. The whole suite turned out wonderful… just like the brides dress of feathers!
A while ago I completed an order for a New Orleans bride. Her invitations were a beautiful golden color with a damask pattern shadowed in the background. Stunning to say the least. I had the pleasure of doing the calligraphy for her very large guest list.
We used the classic copperplate with black ink to portray the formality of the event.
