Happy 25th Weddingbells Magazine
Last Thursday, my friends over at Weddingbells Magazine celebrated their 25th anniversary with a fantastic party at the Windsor Arms Hotel in Toronto. 25 years.. wow.. a huge milestone! I had the honor of creating signs for their candy bar and thank you tags for their giveaways. 400 tags were penned, in the Penelope Style, for each guest and tied around cute vases with posies supplied by Flour Studio. Unfortunately I got to the candy bar a tad too late so I was only able to grab a beautiful box of goodies from Churchill’s Fine Gourmet Gifts. But still, it was yummy enough to satisfy my sweet tooth.
You can check out pictures and a video from the event on the Weddingbells site: http://www.weddingbells.ca/25years/. Congratulations Weddingbells and thank you for having us be a part of your event.
Calligraphy isn’t just for addressing envelopes
It is becoming increasing popular to incorporate Calligraphy into the design of the invitation. This past winter I had the pleasure of creating the lettering for a Mississippi bride’s invitation. I penned the master artwork for the invitation, reply card and return address in the Claire style. The artwork was then scanned and sent as a high res digital file. The file can be taken directly to a printer or to an invitation designer. And I must say that having a simple hand written invitation letterpress printed looks quite amazing.
I also finished off the bride’s invitation suite by addressing her envelopes. Here is the feedback her mother sent me:
I just wanted you to know Laci picked up our envelopes yesterday. She was so very impressed with them, even the packaging. She said that you had done a beautiful job. Laci is 24 and very mature and knows quality work when she see it.
Thanks again for being so efficient and professional.
