Hand Calligraphy Invitations in Charcoal

Hand calligraphy invitations in charcoal are a trend I hope never goes away. And I love working with Bella Figura on their calligraphy wedding invitations.  The nice feature is that every couple has options to customize their invitations so they do not look like another one out there.  This really shows when calligraphy is selected.  This couple chose my Rook hand with grey letterpress and it turned out stunning.  More from the Bella Figura Blog:

Esther and Joey chose hand calligraphy wedding invitations for their winter wedding in Brooklyn. With the help of our friends at Paper Moon they used our Ambrosia design as inspiration and made it their own with a custom submitted monogram and submitted metallic paper in a pale neutral tone that complimented the charcoal and rose gold palette.

Romantic Wedding Invitation

This romantic wedding invitation was created by the talented Ceci New York back in 2014.  I had the immense joy of providing the calligraphy for the invitation as well as envelope addressing and seating cards.  The letterpress and rose gold foil treatment was forward thinking 2 years ago (hard to believe it’s been that long!) and her illustrated florals are gorgeous!  Everything was wrapped in a laser cut wrap to keep the parts together. We used my Talia script and it provided the most perfect amount of romance for this invitation.

Here is a photo of the whole suite. I love the envelope addressing in grey to not make everything too blingy.  But the seating cards turned out to be a favorite.  The calligraphy ink is actually a rose gold shimmer (just couldn’t photograph it!) and matched the foil perfect.  I love how they used the floral motif 2 different ways for the seating cards.  It was perfect for this intimate celebration.

Bella Figura Calligrapher 

As a Bella Figura calligrapher, I get to provide many couples with custom calligraphy for their wedding and event invitations. This one was a special request to have the tails of the letters extend off the page. So we used my Mitty caps script and modified it a bit and I just love how it turned out. This invitation is bold, neutral and whimsical all in one.

A close up so you can see that great impression from the letterpress printing process.

Fall wedding invitation 

These fall wedding invitations really have me all heart eyes. They are a bit moody from the Victorian feeling illustration, the perfect color of charcoal and mixed with a modern script calligraphy… these invitations are simply lovely.

Mexico Destination Wedding

When you have a Mexico destination wedding….you go for color and texture and FUN!

This past year I had the pleasure of contributing to many celebrations in Mexico and wanted to share a few of the print pieces with you.

This save the date was laser cut in the picadillo style in a hot pink with calligraphy envelope addressing to match.

One of my favorite projects of the year were these laser cut limes for an escort card display.  The welcome glasses contained a shot of tequila and it made for the most fun presentation to start of a fun night.

unique escort card calligraphy

These oranges were actually hung in a tree brought into the reception area for the escort cards.  It made for a stunning statement right upon entry.

How can you go wrong with laser cut, watercolor & gold foiled palms.  I loved this suite by Emily Clarke Events and really enjoyed the envelope addressing in white using my brushy Samantha script.

For the same wedding as above, the rehearsal dinner had a different more organic and natural tone.  These place cards on leather really added to the texture and dimension of the table setting.

These place cards were used for a welcome dinner as well and the tags were tied around a personal bottle of tequila.  I adore that the card was printed to match a handpainted tile (used for the table runner).  My casual mitty script in ultramarine to match gave the table setting a casual welcoming feel.
