Fun wedding calligraphy

A dear friend of mine, who got hitched six weeks ago, just posted her photographer's wedding album from her big day. This included my fun white calligraphy on teal envelopes, as well as the custom stamp I created for her and her hubby. Loving the high-quality photos! Much better than the ole' iPhone I usually use...
Enjoy!

Baby shower calligraphy

Had a fun time trying out Spencerian-style calligraphy for this baby shower game board. I also did small note cards that would be used to write memories of and advice for the new mom. All pieces were created in dark grey calligraphy using gouache.

Custom anniversary calligraphy

I've heard that October is the most popular month for weddings, and I've found that to be true in my business. This month brought several lovely anniversary projects -- custom calligraphy of wedding song lyrics, special relationship dates, and more. One of my favorite projects was inscribing in calligraphy a mat to be framed with the lyrics of Marvin Gaye's "Let's Stay Together" for a dear friend from college. The ink was a beautiful dark turquoise, the lyrics had me singing along, and I'm very pleased with the finished product! Here are two shots of my progress and the framed lyrics. Enjoy!

Full suite of wedding signage in calligraphy

The last few weeks have been blissfully slow, allowing for a quick vacation and spreading out a few late fall wedding projects. One of those is below -- a bride contacted me on Etsy about having me create all the signage for her wedding in my calligraphy. This included doing custom calligraphy for her wedding program, wedding seating chart, sweetheart table sign, cards & gifts sign, and a few more. The full calligraphy suite was fun to work on and it's displayed below! I'm shipping it off today.
Next up, holiday cards!
