Wedding program boards in calligraphy

Lately, the wedding invitation projects have slowed down in my world of calligraphy. I've had a couple of fun, larger projects creating custom calligraphy wedding program boards for various brides, most of whom have found me through my Etsy shop. I have enjoyed creating these, and I think the brides have enjoyed having a unique, creative way to display their wedding programs. Take a look! The second picture is of a bride getting married on my first wedding anniversary! Lucky day, I tell ya...

Fun font for wedding invitations

This font was created for my dear friend Robyn Templeton, and the name stuck: my Templeton font. Below I used a wonderful Staedler brush for lettering. It was tricky, but I really like the results.

Teal with white: wedding envelopes

Here's the fun project I'm working on currently -- teal blue envelopes with white ink (there's a filter on the phone below, so the envelopes look darker). Creating these for a friend's wedding in September... We also did a custom stamp for her return addresses and RSVP envelopes. Scroll down to see that!

Fall wedding projects

Good morning from a sea of envelopes! I am deep in the midst of more than a few calligraphy projects for fall weddings. Right now, I've got boatloads of wedding invitations (that all need to go out NOW!) and in several more weeks, I'm sure the wedding decor and escort cards will start ramping up. I thought last summer was busy, but I had not experienced volume like I have now! I'm just about to wrap up the first job of seven I have to complete over the next four weeks, with a small vacation thrown in there for good measure -- going to be traveling to New England and not working the whole week of June 30 -  July 7 for my own sister's wedding!

Here's a glance at my work space yesterday. I will have lots of new fonts and styles and projects to share in the next few weeks, so stay tuned!

New font

Hey, blog-o-sphere! I've been working on a new font, something looser, more fun and funky. Here's a snapshot. I really like it, and think it's a nice alternative to the traditional ornate calligraphy style. Might be nice for a more casual affair, don't you think?

 

 

More to come... lots of new ideas, new projects, and new clients popping into my life daily, so me thinks I'll be sharing a LOT of projects here this summer.

Lots of weddings

I'm wrapping up one wedding job this week, and am receiving more inquiries about upcoming summer and fall weddings every day! Keep 'em coming!

I'll be posting some new styles I'm working on later this week... stay tuned! Here's a look at the latest wedding invite style I'm wrapping up. Traditional, elegant... pretty nice!
