Event calligrapher – inner circle experience

September 20, 2016

As an event calligrapher- This past week I had the absolute joy of contributing to the Inner Circle Experience by personalizing menu cards for the attendees. Ceci New York created the stunning designs. I had the joy of calligraphing each attendees name on each of the menu cards in my signature flourished script.

Look at these custom shapes & beautiful bronze foiling. The calligraphy ink matched perfectly. The menu was large at 12 inches tall also!  All of the menu details were foil printed on the backside in a matching bronze color.

For the gala on the last night Ceci created the most unique menu cards. Based on the origami design from the invitation, the patterns on each layer and the folding design had me smitten.  You can see the foiled patterns and how it stood tall on the plate in the top picture.  The bottom photo is one I took of the menu cards flat and you can see a bit of the menu text that was on each panel.  The black paper with matching pink gold ink was perfect along with my signature flourished script.  As an event calligrapher, I am always a big fan of place cards that have the guest’s first name only because it means it is an intimate event full of conversation!
Here is a photo of the invitations and gorgeous black gusset envelopes with pretty pink gold calligraphy ink in my signature flourished hand.  These were about 1/2 an inch thick with a patterned liner printed on the inside that created a real wow factor when the guest opened it.  Ceci then had an origami folded invitation with her signature patterns that opened up to a couple of informational cards.  It was really a piece of art!

Nordic Romance Styled Photoshoot

September 20, 2016

I loved sharing a little bit of my calligraphy for this nordic romance styled photoshoot with Each and Every Detail. The gold calligraphy on this gorgeous pink agate turned out to be stunning on the table and a really nice pop of color.

I also was smitten with these rich colors from the florals!
What do you think about the mini tarts and moody lighting for this display.  It feels like a warm party is going on with a terrible chilly storm raging outside to me.

This was a styled photoshoot to display what some wonderfully talented creatives can do.  They really pulled it all together so I’d like to give credit to all – visit their websites and see what you can do with some amazing Dallas wedding vendors.

Luxury Austin Texas Wedding – Martha Weddings

August 19, 2016

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.

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

August 1, 2016

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.

Wedding calligraphy invitations 

July 8, 2016

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.
