I recently worked on some calligraphy pieces for a lovely collaboration with Crystal of Bespoke Style Studios. The theme for the editorial was wedding desserts through the four seasons. The editorial is featured in the newest edition of Seattle Met Bride & Groom.
Crystal was the brains behind the styling and prop design, I was able to lend a hand with the paper/calligraphy pieces. It was so fun working with Crystal (who I met while working on her wedding invitations) and seeing our ideas come to life in print. I especially love the sweet details she included, like the cut-out leaves behind the desserts for Autumn! I am so pleased with the shoot, it’s always so fun to see my work in action and just looking at all these desserts makes me hungry! Be sure to check out more of Crystal’s work here!
Also, how beautiful is that cover shot? The image is part of a larger shoot that is featured inside the magazine. The shoot was styled by Steven Moore Designs and photographed by Elizabeth Messina, so lovely, it’s a must see!
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!
These lovely real (yes, real!) wood invitations (and other handlettered wood elements) I designed were recently featured on Style Me Pretty as part of an editorial shoot I collaborated on with some other talented vendors. What a perfect way to bring a bit of the outdoors and a natural, organic feel into your wedding. I packaged them in mailable boxes (with calligraphied addresses and vintage postage, of course!) and tied of the invitations (and the other paper details) with silk hand dipped mustard yellow ombre ribbons. The whole set is just so lovely, I was so pleased with the final product.
The wood invitations were stamped in white ink with a custom made rubber stamp. I also incorporated kraft paper into the set with a flat cream cardstock as a contrasting texture, color.
…And can we talk about the bridal gown?! I am in LOVE with that dress!
Here is the entire paper suite for the shoot… Are you looking for custom invitations and coordinating pieces for your own wedding or event? Let’s chat!
