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

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.

Calligraphy Envelope Addressing

December 6, 2017

I absolutely adore calligraphy envelope addressing. Especially when it is white calligraphy on these stunning cobalt envelopes in my new Flourished Script.

The flourished script is delicate and flowing with the classic traditional base structures. It is pretty, flirty, and interesting but not overly feminine. Order yours today!

Spring Wedding Elegance With Some Serious Flower Power

November 3, 2017

Spring Wedding Elegance With Some Serious Flower Power was recently published! Working with a team of talented vendors on a wedding is one of my greatest joys. I adore that everyone with different talents brings their skill to a project to make a magnificent piece of collaborative art. The event will communicate all the feelings the Bride and Groom want to convey to their guests through each piece. This wedding was definitely full of thought and life! You can see more on Style Me Pretty but I wanted to shout out to my fantastic vendors and show just a bit here.

Dallas, Texas Arlington Hall ceremony reception

I used my Talia calligraphy for the table signs, table numbers, escort cards and place cards. The blue and taupe combination was really dreamy and kept the stationery feeling spring and full of elegance. The escort cards were displayed on the bride’s family silver serving trays. It was such a nice way to bring a bit of home into the reception.

This was the perfect set up for a spring garden stroll after the ceremony. Bows and Arrows really did a splendid job with all the floral pieces looking right at home in the gardens.

The reception tent at Arlington Hall kept the Spring Wedding Elegance With Some Serious Flower Power going. I’m a sucker for a clear top and some twinkle lights though. The low and lush florals make a perfect statement on crisp white linen covered tables.

Parisian Flourished Calligraphy Place Cards

Parisian flourished calligraphy place cards

I had the joy of providing Parisian flourished calligraphy place cards for the gala dinner at The Inner Circle Experience this past week. For this special luxury vendor industry party, I thought it was fitting to flex my calligraphy muscles a bit.

I worked with the talented Ceci New York to make these as dramatic as the menus she designed for the event. Each flourish is completed by hand.

Since the location was a classic Paris ballroom, I had to use my ornamental penmanship and flourish the cards in a classic way! This style is similar to Spence on my website with extra fancy capitals and swirls wherever they fit 😉

Naturally, gold on cotton is super luxurious & perfect for this event. Look how it shines! The lighting of the chandeliers reflected just perfectly to look dramatic on the table setting.
