Spring Wedding Elegance With Some Serious Flower Power

November 3, 2017

Spring Wedding Elegance With Some Serious Flower Power was recently published! Working with a team of talented vendors on a wedding is one of my greatest joys. I adore that everyone with different talents brings their skill to a project to make a magnificent piece of collaborative art. The event will communicate all the feelings the Bride and Groom want to convey to their guests through each piece. This wedding was definitely full of thought and life! You can see more on Style Me Pretty but I wanted to shout out to my fantastic vendors and show just a bit here.

Dallas, Texas Arlington Hall ceremony reception

I used my Talia calligraphy for the table signs, table numbers, escort cards and place cards. The blue and taupe combination was really dreamy and kept the stationery feeling spring and full of elegance. The escort cards were displayed on the bride’s family silver serving trays. It was such a nice way to bring a bit of home into the reception.

This was the perfect set up for a spring garden stroll after the ceremony. Bows and Arrows really did a splendid job with all the floral pieces looking right at home in the gardens.

The reception tent at Arlington Hall kept the Spring Wedding Elegance With Some Serious Flower Power going. I’m a sucker for a clear top and some twinkle lights though. The low and lush florals make a perfect statement on crisp white linen covered tables.

Parisian Flourished Calligraphy Place Cards

Parisian flourished calligraphy place cards

I had the joy of providing Parisian flourished calligraphy place cards for the gala dinner at The Inner Circle Experience this past week. For this special luxury vendor industry party, I thought it was fitting to flex my calligraphy muscles a bit.

I worked with the talented Ceci New York to make these as dramatic as the menus she designed for the event. Each flourish is completed by hand.

Since the location was a classic Paris ballroom, I had to use my ornamental penmanship and flourish the cards in a classic way! This style is similar to Spence on my website with extra fancy capitals and swirls wherever they fit 😉

Naturally, gold on cotton is super luxurious & perfect for this event. Look how it shines! The lighting of the chandeliers reflected just perfectly to look dramatic on the table setting.

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.

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!
