Texas Wedding – Dallas Calligrapher

October 23, 2015

Wrapping up this Texas Wedding trip down memory lane, I could not leave without sharing one of my favorite projects.  Super fun and functional – stir sticks!  We chose to etch the monogram and wedding date on these and they turned out great!  Plus they looked wonderful during cocktail hour 🙂

Finally, they did give out delicious cookies to all guests and were sitting on the tables.  Each box had a thank you tag and custom packaging with the new monogram and flavors.

Ballroom Wedding Calligraphy – Dallas

October 21, 2015

It’s not often ballroom wedding calligraphy is featured on the blogs. I’m thrilled to share something personal here. My sister hosted a lovely reception in the Crescent Club at the Rosewood Crescent Hotel, Dallas. This warm and inviting space called for intimacy at the tables. At time for friends and family. So the florals were kept low so guests could chat with each other and the candles were abundant.

This “table number” for the head table was actually the couples new monogram. Such a fun idea.  And really looks nice in a ballroom wedding. Floral by Bella Flora Dallas.

All the menus were original hand calligraphy in silver ink on blue paper. The corner notches carried the details from the invitation over. We used my zanner hand for all the calligraphy details.

Wedding Invitations – Texas Ballroom Wedding

October 20, 2015

Next up to share are my sisters wedding invitations.  We letterpress printed these in blue ink using my zanner hand.  They were the classic folded style with a fun architectural detail on the outside. Soft cotton paper was used to get a nice impression.  She also chose the most traditional folded invitation style.  I think just to decorate the cover with a Greek key design.  This design played into other wedding stationery at the reception.

I also completed really lovely calligraphy envelope addressing in a matching blue ink to the wedding invitations and my zanner hand. This set featured a 2 line return address on the back flap.  The front was completed in a centered layout with a 4th line zip code.  I like this classic look and dropping the zip code adds some writing space to the larger envelopes.

Dallas Ballroom Wedding – Calligrapher

October 19, 2015

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

October 16, 2015

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!
