A few years ago I took on this custom birthday commission to personalize a photo of my clients husband. It turned out pretty awesome!
Wedding Calligrapher – Color Envelopes!
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).
Peacock Feather Wedding Dress
Happy Weekend! It’s been a busy one around here this week but I wanted to leave with a little Peacock inspired goodness.
Lovely $1.5 million dollar peacock feather dress – wow.
Gorgeous Cafe Menu I created for a wedding (more on that later!) with Jordan Payne Events – and we all know she loves her peacock feathers! photo by Joe Ellis of Joseph Mark Photography.
And this sweet little cake by Coco Cake is perfect for a shower (and not too over the top since you just blew your budget on that dress!)

Texas Tech Calligrapher – Graduation Announcements
Wow. It’s been almost a year since my little sister graduated from Texas Tech. To help make the celebration extra special we sent out a few lovely announcements in her honor. Since it was a December graduation I wanted to add a little glitz and glam to everything.
All lettering and layout was written and designed by me. The fonts used are Ellen and Zanner. While her name was being made into a custom calligraphy stamp I gathered the mailing addresses. Then I printed the black lettering on stardream silver shimmer paper and cut down to size. Next, I used that stamp + red ink + red embossing powder to emboss her name on the invitation for that wet sparkly look. Everything was mounted on a thick red shimmer card stock.
After addressing the gorgeous black envelopes with silver ink in the Zanner font and creating a fun return address logo – the envelopes were lined with a eye catching black and white damask pattern. Finally stamps (black and white stars of course) were applied and we were ready to mail!
If you are looking for a graduation announcement – let me know!
Dallas Calligrapher – Holland and Zach
Congratulations to Holland and Zach on their May wedding in Dallas at Arlington Hall at Lee Park. This was such a great family to work with on the invitations and save the dates. Everything was a bit more modern and a bit more architectural looking – plus she chose my favorite green! Oh, and they had their invitations ready for me to address right after we finished the save the dates – no rushing around with this bride 🙂
Here are the save the dates & we used the ellen font with green ink on lovely William Arthur stationery.
