Engraved Fragrance Bottle

April 17, 2020

Fragrance bottle gift

I’m a southern girl and love a monogram on… pretty much everything. This engraved fragrance bottle with a monogram and date is so thoughtful. Each time the bottle is used, a pleasant memory of the wedding day can be revisited. Scent triggers memories very quickly and I like the idea of having the visual cue on the bottle as well.

Monogrammed perfume bottle

I think this is such a lovely gift from a mother to daughter on her wedding day. It feels like a right of passage getting your married fragrance with your new name or initials on it. This is also a wonderful gift for any holiday or celebration (Mother’s Day). Adding that extra special touch to a fragrance bottle for a gift indicates a certain level of thoughtfulness.

How to order

How to order an engraved fragrance bottle is easy! You purchase the bottle of your choice and send to me. I will have you complete an order form with the words you want written on your bottle. It will be completed by the time agreed upon and returned to you.

There are options like gold or silver fill for the engraving. You could use a monogram or names. I can even add a few flowers to the design if there is space on the bottle. Contact me today to place your order!

Wedding invitation – VA Calligraphy

June 6, 2016

It is no secret that I adore designing and writing for a wedding invitation. When I get to partner with an amazing stationer and bride who want everything in calligraphy for the wedding invitation, program, menu, seating cards and thank you notes…. Life is good.

Here is a peek at what I did with Rock Paper Scissors for the lovely Katherine’s wedding stationery.

The invitation was beautifully letterpressed in a gorgeous teal color. The envelope addressing matched perfectly.  We chose a flourished calligraphy script that kept a happy playful feeling.  The edges were beveled and painted in a silver.  All invitation pieces were on a double thick crisp white paper.  A true luxury.

The program was flat printed using calligraphy and type with a tree illustration from the venue. It is perfect in combining the wedding invitation details with a slightly different look.  The tree is perfect for the ceremony on a lovely plantation. This was a folded piece with front and back printing for all the content.

To finish everything off, Katherine chose to have note cards and calling cards made to complete her personal stationery moving into married life. She had note cards made with her maiden and married name so she could use them throughout the entire wedding process!  It is so nice to have custom note cards on hand to send any time.  These are just so beautiful – I would write notes to share with others!

Wedding Calligrapher – Color Envelopes!

January 16, 2014

Wedding season is here and it seems everyone is now planning for their invitations!  While we all love the chic, classic look of black, grey, white, ivory, and navy… sometimes a girl wants a little color.  Here are some great examples of envelopes with a pop.  If not for the wedding day, a definite possibility for a pre-wedding party!

I adore these wood envelopes with white ink (in my Jane script).  And the green envelopes below in black ink (my Ellen script) – excellent for a spring event.

A couple of different blue options – they also look fantastic with silver ink in a formal script like Talia.

I’m totally smitten with these long copper color envelopes from a wedding last year – a modified version of the Mitty Capitals.

Pretty in Pink – paired with the Talia script in blue ink

And bold orange also in my talia script!

These grey with yellow ink using my rook script are stunners.

And to wrap it up (I could go on!) – the classic colors… just inverted!  A total twist (and perfect for a swanky black tie affair).

Napa/Dallas/Ceci New York Calligrapher – Alice + Jason wed in Napa

October 9, 2013

I was so thrilled to see Alice & Jason’s wedding featured on Ceci New York.  Alice had the most beautiful invitations and calligraphy in gold to match for the addressing and place cards.  Alice even added her own touch to the invitations by creating a lace wrap and wax seal.
