Custom calligraphy for Palm Beach Wedding

May 5, 2018

I provided this custom calligraphy for Palm Brach wedding to Ceci New York. It is so fun to see what happens to the calligraphy after I’ve done my part.

This design is joyful and exciting with the floral touches, green letterpress calligraphy and fun vintage stamps. The envelope addressing was finished using a custom green ink mixed to perfectly match the letterpress ink on the cards. I love it when the colors are matched so well. It feels seamless and attentive to the design.

No event is complete without matching menus and seating assignments in the same green calligraphy. The script was complete custom to the bride for her whole suite. For the bride who needs just a little extra to complete her vision.

Charleston wedding invitation

January 31, 2018

This Charleston Wedding invitation is stunning. Simply said, everything is done right here. The classic copperplate calligraphy and elegant engraving on a thick white card is a luxury. I adore how the color is fresh in Charleston green and it ties in perfectly with the very lovely save the date.

While I did all the calligraphy- credit goes to Ceci New York for the design and execution of this gorgeous, timeless Charleston wedding invitation.

The save the date used the same classic copperplate script, letterpress printing and Ceci’s gorgeous watercolor work. It really exudes Charleston.

I think it amazing how timeless this Charleston Wedding invitation looks at nearly three years on. It could have been 50 years ago or 50 years from not but will always be in season to me.

Dallas Wedding Calligraphy – Italian themed

January 9, 2018

Dallas Wedding Calligraphy – Italian themed

I love working with the team at Emily Clarke events. Their table settings are top notch. They always make my work look so good…especially for this Italian themed Dallas Wedding Calligraphy.

These little tags tied around an olive branch atop the napkin and menu are just so welcoming! This is a seat that I would want to sit in and laugh and talk with my table mates all night! We used my Olivia script on these sweet place cards. The ink was a custom mixed green. The olive branches on the napkins were fresh picked.  Fresh greenery adds a touch of warmth and intimacy on any table. The florist is really important in bringing life to a table setting.  When floral and calligraphy are pulled together, magic happens!

And this great set up is where the escort cards display went for the rehearsal dinner. The little tags were pinned into the fresh produce. I loved the red color and a bit more casual script on these! We used my Mitty hand.  They were tiny at only 1 inch tall.

This display is so lovely.  I think it would be great for any intimate rehearsal dinner or party.  It looks so effortless and simple, but I’m sure there is more work than it looks like.  Emily and her team are brilliant at styling these escort card displays.  I love this idea for a co-op produce exchange too.  How fun to make that into a party to celebrate the bounty for the season.

Dallas Wedding – Dapper Dapper Diplomat

October 5, 2017

Dallas Wedding

It was such a delight to work with planner- Julian Leaver – The Dapper Diplomat. The designer was Emily Clarke Events with stationer – The Detail Department on this fun Dallas wedding.

The wedding invitations were so lovely in a palette of light blue, green, white and gold.

I addressed the wedding envelopes in grass green. The classic Olivia script was used. Isn’t the watercolor on the invitation gorgeous?! The green is a nice touch.

The day of items were super special because the bride is an equestrian. The winners ribbons idea created the seating display.

I used the Olivia script and white ink to write the guest names. They went directly on the ribbons and the number went in the center circle. It all turned out so lovely!

And just a little behind the scenes for you – ink and ribbon isn’t always a good mix so we have to “prepare the surface” in calligraphy speak. So a little insiders secret is to lightly coat with hairspray to make it a bit less slick & accept the ink without bleeding!
