Luxury Austin Texas Wedding – Martha Weddings

This luxury Austin Texas wedding was featured in Martha Weddings and I am thrilled to share it with you!  The team of creatives was outstanding so be sure to checkout everyone involved below but I do want to shout out to some of the idea makers: Design & Planning by The Wildflowers, Stationery by Southern Fried Paper, stunning photography by Ryan Ray and gorgeous floral by The Southern Table.  This is what happy wedding dreams are made of and it was such an honor for me to play a part in it.

luxury calligraphy wedding invitations

Well, I have to say it… these are some of my very favorite wedding invitations created so far.  I adore the modern script, clean classic letterpress in blue on thick paper and can we talk about the stunning envelope liner?  WOW! It is feminine without being girly, the blue tones are dreamy and the modern script keeps it fresh looking.  The envelope addressing was actually in a pale blue for a tonal look.  Southern Fried Paper and I have such a good working relationship and you can really see it come together in this suite.

The escort card display was an art installation between paper, artist Kayla Barker and florist The Southern Table. The escort cards were on grey paper with purple ink in the same modern script used on the invitations.  Each card had a dainty little blue ribbon and push pin used to hang on the large scale back drop created by Kayla Barker.  Finishing touches of floral decorations added by The Southern Table.

When the guests entered the reception tent for this luxury Austin Texas wedding; they were greeted by a stunning hanging floral installation, twinkle lights and welcoming long tables set up specifically for hearty laughs and good conversations.

Each place setting used a beautiful lacy charger, linen napkins, blue ribbon and a personalized menu card.  The menu color designated which entree the guest selected and the names were in a coordinating blue.  The effect was a graceful ombre across the table from light, medium and dark blue.  We also used a favorite of mine – first names only so they could be large and make a statement!

Dallas Event Calligraphy – place cards

You guys, this Dallas event calligraphy was filled with the most stunning details dreamed up by Gro Designs.

First off, I created a fun and flourished menu card in purple to match their gorgeous floral work.

The showstopper for me was the place cards written directly on these glamorous crystal chargers in purple ink and my signature flourished calligraphy.

I went on-site to the event location and penned each one on the table. It was fun and different and truly unique.

Classic Calligraphy ready-made invitations

A glimpse into my classic calligraphy ready-made invitations today. I wanted to take some time to share a little bit more about my invitation suites. Each one, the inspiration and features available with each set.


The classic collection is probably my favorite because it is versatile and always looks nice. This suite has a classic layout that looks very traditional with a formal script hand (copperplate, rook, spencer) or a bit more lively with a more modern script (Hayden shown, Mitty or Samantha).

It’s classic it’s clean, it’s elegant.


Each suite offers turn key service. This means everything is included – an invitation, the outer envelope with a printed return address, a RSVP card and envelope with printed return address. Plus each suite COMES WITH hand calligraphy guest addressing. You will not find that anywhere else. I wanted you to be able to send your invitations off in the mail when you received them rather than having to book a calligrapher after the fact Adam ship things here and there.
The classic calligraphy ready-made invitations also come with cotton paper as a standard. This is thick 110# paper that does not feel flimsy and is soft to the touch. It’s made affordable by being digital printed but that means you can choose a variety of colors!

Wedding calligraphy invitations 

I adore creating wedding calligraphy invitations for such joyous events. This wedding invitation is no exception because I had the privilege of working with the most wonderful family and kindest planner – Stefanie Miles.   The soft pink paper paired with white cotton paper, hand torn edges and modern calligraphy really make this suite swoon worthy.


We used a post card RSVP and envelope addressing to complete all the wedding calligraphy invitations components. It was easy to mail for the guests and a bit lighter in weight to keep the postage down on the invitation suite.  The envelope addressing is using my Mitty caps style in walnut brown ink.  I love the subtle tonal variation it gives.
