Santa Barbara Calligrapher – Peony and Cupcake 50th Birthday

December 15, 2011

It is cold and rainy here (which I love personally), but I was thinking about my spring events coming up and thought I would finally sit down and share this wonderful event with you!  It was such a joy to work with Heidi of Zenadia Design on the calligraphy for the envelopes, menu, place cards, table numbers, and event signs for this beautiful San Ysidro Ranch Birthday party!  Everything was letter pressed and had a pink peony theme.  I addressed the invitations on an angle in the Talia script and a darker pink ink.  The result was stunning.

Kacie Jean Photography provided the rest of the images from the event.  I could not be more thankful for receiving them!

This is the gorgeous centerpieces (and table numbers) as well as a shot of the room during dinner.  Love it!

Here you can see the menu and wine menu sign – lovely in pink!

My favorite part of the whole evening was the cupcake and candy table.  All pink themed with a ton of different cupcake flavors (I think there were 7!).  I Also loved the peony candy tags for a pop of white in all that pink.  And isn’t the hearth gorgeous?  I’m thinking someone can come and do mine like that all year round 🙂

Dallas Calligrapher Oh So Beautiful Paper Feature

October 28, 2010

Last week I had a wonderful feature in Oh So Beautiful Paper.  If you have not visited the site yet – beware.  It’s easy to get lost in all of the wonderful invitations and creativity from some fabulous designers.

Here is a recap from Nole!

This bride was won­der­ful to work with and super great about her paper prod­ucts – she wanted every­thing!  I cal­ligraphed the addresses for her wed­ding invi­ta­tion envelopes (the invi­ta­tions are the Car­toc­cio design from Bella Figura).bella figura calligrapher

When it came time for the cer­e­mony and recep­tion sta­tionery, I cre­ated a tall cer­e­mony pro­gram, a menu with cal­lig­ra­phy seat­ing assign­ments, and tented escort cards in the same cal­lig­ra­phy.  All let­ter­press printed on Crane 110lb 100% cot­ton Let­tra paper in chic and sophis­ti­cated black and white.Wedding CalligrapherWedding Calligrapher

Nicole also cal­ligraphed the guest book, which was actu­ally a cof­fee table art book from the wed­ding venue, the Nasher Sculp­ture Cen­ter in Dal­las, Texas.  Finally, Nicole cre­ated cus­tom cal­lig­ra­phy thank you notes with the bride and groom’s mar­ried names and new address.Oh So Beautiful Paper Calligrapher

So pretty Nicole!  If you’re look­ing for more pretty cal­lig­ra­phy eye candy, Nicole also has a gor­geous new web­site full of her beau­ti­ful cal­lig­ra­phy styles and port­fo­lio – check it out right here!
