Change of Plans

March 20, 2020

Change of Plans

Goodness.  It has been a week.  A month.  It’s amazing how quickly we must pivot and readjust when everything is shut down. Change of Plans. I’ve been hunkered down here in Texas for nearly 2 weeks and processing and thinking and crying.  I’m heartbroken for my couples that are having to reschedule and postpone their celebrations.  I am heartbroken for my industry friends who are now looking at 3 months without and income. They are such good people to even consider returning retainers if the events can’t be re-scheduled on a date they are available.

These are unprecedented times and I wanted to let you know:  I am here.  I am listening.  Call me and talk and share and I will cry with you.  I know this is hard times.  But we can make it through together.  I will listen and be angry and sad and celebrate the little things for you.  I’m in your corner and your cheerleader.  You got this.  This is a change of plans.  You can do this.  I can help you.

I know this isn’t much.  But, communicating the change of plans to your guests is one of the most difficult time consuming tasks of a postponement.  I put together a few pretty graphics you are free to use.  Want something more custom.  Just email or call.  I’m here (and not going anywhere for at least 2 weeks!). xoxo

Just right click and save.  Want to share – please give me credit.

The Left Handed Calligrapher for Goop

May 14, 2018

These gorgeous menus were by The Left Handed Calligrapher for Goop a few weeks ago. I penned them in a gorgeous rose gold to match the foil (stationer unknown) on the fluffy handmade paper. My Mitty caps script was featured.

This was a fun event celebrating the Goop pop up shop in Highland Park Village at a private residence. I’ll share more once the photos are available online!

I love seeing menus all lined up in someone else’s well lit house when I work on-site. The edges on this paper though! So lovely.

If you need someone for your event, give me a call. I can travel under certain circumstances to complete on-site for the finishing touches to complete the event look.

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!

Instagram wedding – Napa Calligraphy

January 21, 2016

It is always a privilege to contribute to an instagram wedding. On a rare occasion, said wedding is published in a beautiful magazine. Then I get to share some of the beautiful images with you. Congratulations to Nicole Schuetz (Surto CEO) and Kevin Systrom (Instagram founder) on your wedding and filling the pages of Vogue.

This ceremony set up is absolutely dreamy.  The wonderful chairs, the gorgeous layout all set in the lush gardens.  Also, aren’t those flowers stunning?

This long table with custom linens keep the garden theme alive.  A beautiful October day for a wedding.  Each place setting had a calligraphy place card attached to the napkin by an herb sprig.  I’m loving the purple goblets in different shapes.  It really gives dimension to the table.


Finally a glimpse at the invitation for this Instagram wedding created by Amber Moon Designs.  It was a leather wrapped box with drawer that pulls out to present the bound invitation with marble paper.  I did the guest addressing calligraphy using my talia hand in white on a green paper wrap to go around the box.

Unfortunately, only the photos released for public viewing can be shared (and not much calligraphy made the cut) – but the team who worked on this event did an incredible job.
