Wedding Place Cards on Ribbon

July 13, 2018

These wedding place cards on ribbon have been giving me all the heart eyes recently. I matched the ink to a custom hydrangea blue and used a casual brush script to keep the light and airy feeling of the ribbon. First names only because it was an intimate affair. These gorgeous silk ribbons were tied around a few herbs and placed on the dinner plate for a welcoming place setting.

Working with the top talent in the wedding world is always an honor. This luxury event was planned and designed by Gro Designs. All the stationery was in collaboration with Stamped Paper Co (she is a genius). These photographs are by me – I’m sure the professional ones from the actual wedding are far superior.

Destination California Wedding – Escort Wall

September 3, 2017

It is always a privilege to work on the genius pieces that happen when Southern Fried Paper and Jacin Fitzgerald join forces. This destination California wedding with it’s escort wall in a stunning tile and calligraphy was no exception.

Destination California Wedding – Escort Wall

The guests were greeted by an amazing escort wall. The tile backdrop served as a photo/ selfie-station backdrop after all the seating cards were removed.

The escort cards were actually leather luggage tags I penned with the guest names. We used my Samantha script in white ink and they turned out lovely.  The other side indicated the table number was designed by Southern Fried Paper.

One of my favorite features of this event were the place cards. Southern Fried Paper ordered handmade terra cotta tiles from a Texas local and I put the guest names on in white calligraphy using the same style.  These tiles were hefty at about a pound a piece.  A great idea to help weight down menus for a windy California destination wedding.

These looked so good on the stunning tabletop Jacin designed.  I adore the loose florals and little dishes on the table to really give it some depth.  These chargers topped by a wrapped napkin and menu and the tile really give a flat table some dimension and texture that makes me want to sit there chatting and laughing all night!

Mexico Destination Wedding

October 19, 2016

When you have a Mexico destination wedding….you go for color and texture and FUN!

This past year I had the pleasure of contributing to many celebrations in Mexico and wanted to share a few of the print pieces with you.

This save the date was laser cut in the picadillo style in a hot pink with calligraphy envelope addressing to match.

One of my favorite projects of the year were these laser cut limes for an escort card display.  The welcome glasses contained a shot of tequila and it made for the most fun presentation to start of a fun night.

These oranges were actually hung in a tree brought into the reception area for the escort cards.  It made for a stunning statement right upon entry.

How can you go wrong with laser cut, watercolor & gold foiled palms.  I loved this suite by Emily Clarke Events and really enjoyed the envelope addressing in white using my brushy Samantha script.

For the same wedding as above, the rehearsal dinner had a different more organic and natural tone.  These place cards on leather really added to the texture and dimension of the table setting.

These place cards were used for a welcome dinner as well and the tags were tied around a personal bottle of tequila.  I adore that the card was printed to match a handpainted tile (used for the table runner).  My casual mitty script in ultramarine to match gave the table setting a casual welcoming feel.

Dallas Event Calligrapher Crawfish Boil

May 23, 2016

As a Dallas event calligrapher, I LOVE getting to work on different projects that push the event design. This fancy crawfish boil by Gro Designs was a fundraiser for Soluna was one of my favorite projects this event season.

Calligraphy was completed in my Samantha brush script using white ink.  This script is fun and casual and perfect for an evening getting dirty with your food.  Although, with champagne, a knife and fork on the table for a crawfish boil, I’m not sure how dirty these guests got!
