Charleston wedding invitation

January 31, 2018

This Charleston Wedding invitation is stunning. Simply said, everything is done right here. The classic copperplate calligraphy and elegant engraving on a thick white card is a luxury. I adore how the color is fresh in Charleston green and it ties in perfectly with the very lovely save the date.

While I did all the calligraphy- credit goes to Ceci New York for the design and execution of this gorgeous, timeless Charleston wedding invitation.

The save the date used the same classic copperplate script, letterpress printing and Ceci’s gorgeous watercolor work. It really exudes Charleston.

I think it amazing how timeless this Charleston Wedding invitation looks at nearly three years on. It could have been 50 years ago or 50 years from not but will always be in season to me.

Calligraphy Envelope Addressing

December 6, 2017

I absolutely adore calligraphy envelope addressing. Especially when it is white calligraphy on these stunning cobalt envelopes in my new Flourished Script.

The flourished script is delicate and flowing with the classic traditional base structures. It is pretty, flirty, and interesting but not overly feminine. Order yours today!

Dallas Wedding – Dapper Dapper Diplomat

October 5, 2017

Dallas Wedding

It was such a delight to work with planner- Julian Leaver – The Dapper Diplomat. The designer was Emily Clarke Events with stationer – The Detail Department on this fun Dallas wedding.

The wedding invitations were so lovely in a palette of light blue, green, white and gold.

I addressed the wedding envelopes in grass green. The classic Olivia script was used. Isn’t the watercolor on the invitation gorgeous?! The green is a nice touch.

The day of items were super special because the bride is an equestrian. The winners ribbons idea created the seating display.

I used the Olivia script and white ink to write the guest names. They went directly on the ribbons and the number went in the center circle. It all turned out so lovely!

And just a little behind the scenes for you – ink and ribbon isn’t always a good mix so we have to “prepare the surface” in calligraphy speak. So a little insiders secret is to lightly coat with hairspray to make it a bit less slick & accept the ink without bleeding!

Destination California Wedding – Escort Wall

September 3, 2017

It is always a privilege to work on the genius pieces that happen when Southern Fried Paper and Jacin Fitzgerald join forces. This destination California wedding with it’s escort wall in a stunning tile and calligraphy was no exception.

Destination California Wedding – Escort Wall

The guests were greeted by an amazing escort wall. The tile backdrop served as a photo/ selfie-station backdrop after all the seating cards were removed.

The escort cards were actually leather luggage tags I penned with the guest names. We used my Samantha script in white ink and they turned out lovely. The other side indicated the table number was designed by Southern Fried Paper.

stunning table setting – tile place card calligraphy

One of my favorite features of this event were the place cards. Southern Fried Paper ordered handmade terra cotta tiles from a Texas local and I put the guest names on in white calligraphy using the same style. These tiles were hefty at about a pound a piece. A great idea to help weight down menus for a windy California destination wedding.

These looked so good on the stunning tabletop Jacin designed. I adore the loose florals and little dishes on the table to really give it some depth. These chargers topped by a wrapped napkin and menu and the tile really give a flat table some dimension and texture that makes me want to sit there chatting and laughing all night!
