Happy New Year! I hope your year is off to a fabulous start! While things have been rather quiet here on the blog, things have been busy busy behind the scenes. I am gearing up for some really lovely weddings and some amazing branding projects for 2013. But it’s about this time of year that I really start to longing for summer, so I thought that I would pop in to share some photos of a wedding invitation project I worked on last summer for a lovely couple.
Alissa and Alan were married in August in a small intimate, backyard wedding ceremony with a Mediterranean feel, designed by Finch and Thistle Events. Alissa was so sweet to work with and I love the final product. The invitations feature a watercolor olive branch wreath with the couple’s monogram. The invitation and reply card were digitally printed on soft white card stock. I love the infusion of summer color with bright green envelopes, white calligraphy lettering (done by yours truly) and vintage postage. I love the simplicity of the invitation set. Congratulations Alissa and Alan; it was a pleasure working on your paper goods!
I thought that I would share our letterpress Christmas cards from this year with you all. I went with a bright cherry red color palette – I am so happy with the way they turned out! They were letterpressed onto thick (I mean really thick) cotton brilliant white cardstock; I then mounted our tree farm photo (taken by our lovely friend Kate Price Photography) onto the card. The envelopes are lined with a fabulous wrapping paper I discovered from Mr. Boddington’s Studio(I pretty much adore all of their products!) and topped off with my calligraphy. I just love so many things about this time of year, but I especially LOVE sending our Christmas greetings and getting cards from all of our loved ones, so fun! Merry Christmas!
Hello! I want to introduce you all to a new calligraphy style I have been working on, a modern style with no curls…it’s a breath of fresh calligraphy air! I have long been a calligrapher who loves a good formal lettering style, now I am loving this modern style as well. The more paper goods I calligraphy this style onto, the more and more I love it! It’s clean, beautiful and non-fussy. I think it would be a beautiful style for wedding invitations as well as envelope addressing.
