Dallas wedding calligrapher

June 27, 2016

As a Dallas wedding calligrapher, it’s always an honor to be asked to provide calligraphy for the dallas wedding industry and I had the privilege of my script gracing the pages of D Magazine this month. You can see the spot calligraphy on the same page as local florist pros talk about their favorite flowers. It was so much fun to write the sweet floral words for this spread.

This was completed in my Mitty hand. Pick up a copy on newsstands today!

It seems the dahlia is a favorite among the florists along with the ranunculus’ (I also really love these!). They may be making an appearance in my garden for next year. 🙂

Event Calligrapher – Dos Jefes Dallas

June 22, 2016

Goodness, I love the Dallas nightlife scene and it is more fun when I get to see my calligraphy on the walls. When Dos Jefes proposed a little bit of writing on the mirror above the bar, I knew it would be perfect with my modern calligraphy hand. The lipstick red paint really makes it stand out though.

Wedding invitation – VA Calligraphy

June 6, 2016

It is no secret that I adore designing and writing for a wedding invitation. When I get to partner with an amazing stationer and bride who want everything in calligraphy for the wedding invitation, program, menu, seating cards and thank you notes…. Life is good.

Here is a peek at what I did with Rock Paper Scissors for the lovely Katherine’s wedding stationery.

The invitation was beautifully letterpressed in a gorgeous teal color. The envelope addressing matched perfectly. We chose a flourished calligraphy script that kept a happy playful feeling. The edges were beveled and painted in a silver. All invitation pieces were on a double thick crisp white paper. A true luxury.

wedding calligraphy program

The program was flat printed using calligraphy and type with a tree illustration from the venue. It is perfect in combining the wedding invitation details with a slightly different look. The tree is perfect for the ceremony on a lovely plantation. This was a folded piece with front and back printing for all the content.

A close up detail of the letterpress printing. And stunning beveled edge with silver painting. I love all the texture this invitation has! You can also see how thick the paper really is.

calligraphy personal stationery

To finish everything off, Katherine chose to have note cards and calling cards made to complete her personal stationery moving into married life. She had note cards made with her maiden and married name so she could use them throughout the entire wedding process! It is so nice to have custom note cards on hand to send any time. These are just so beautiful – I would write notes to share with others!
