Calligraphy Styles
Last spring I did several calligraphy projects for clients and friends. Here are some pics. I have to say, I'm my own worst critic when it comes to my calligraphy but the more I delve into my own signature styles, the more I like it. My favorite style of the bunch is the last handful with the stamps. But I might be partial; they were for Cam's birth announcements!

Mailed Calligraphy
It's always fun when I get to see my calligraphy after it's been mailed out. I did our friend's wedding envelopes and this is our invite. I love how the calligraphy stands up even though it has been weathered by the mail.
Also, note how Mavia decided to address the invitations including the wife's name. I think it's fabulous even though it's not the tradition. Why shouldn't the married women names be included as well?! What do you think?

Navy & White Calligraphy Project
I just finished up another calligraphy project and I love the way it turned out. The white ink on navy envelopes looks very crisp and clean and it makes the calligraphy really pop. Navy and white just might be my new favorite color combination!

Allyson & Andrew's Wedding
This post is about a year and 2 months late but I'm so excited to share with you Allyson and Andrew's wedding from October 2009. I finally got around to ordering the pictures from her absolutely stunning and wedding and I'm so honored that I got to play a small part on their gorgeous day.
I started off by calligraphing her beautiful wedding invitations. Allyson's wedding was on Halloween so she did an amazing job of incorporating colors and icons of Halloween in a tasteful and classy way. Her wedding colors were black and white with hints of lime green.
Her stationery suite consisted of a hotel bag itineraries, stickers for the travel candles included in the hotel bag, ceremony programs, menus, and flags for the candied apples (picture below).
The wedding and ceremony took place at The Parker Hotel in Palm Springs. The location perfectly suited this unique wedding. I absolutely adore how Allyson and Andrew were literally framed through their entire ceremony by an actual over sized frame!
Allyson had the silhouettes blown up and framed as part of the wedding decor. I love how she kept incorporating that theme throughout.
The table was set with all black linens and place cards were white pumpkins. Completely elegant and the exact opposite of what you find at most weddings.
The reception itself was absolutely stunning with amazing larger than life sized flower centerpieces and spectacular lighting.
A very belated congratulations to you, Allyson and Andrew. Your wedding was magnificently unique and completely unforgettable. Thank you for letting me be a part of your big day!

Next, I helped Allyson design her wedding logo and stationery. She had already had her silhouette designed by Carter Kustera, a close friend of theirs whose work you might recognize from his collaborations with Jonathan Alder. She wanted to incorporate that silhouette throughout her wedding day stationery suite. I created the logo adding the date and the location, keeping it modern and a little bit funky.
