Around the world… part 2
Another one of my American couples is Rebecca and Will, whose wedding was featured in The Knot Georgia. The bright yellow lined envelopes sent to me to address were just a glimpse of their sunshine filled day.
Around the world… part 1
One of the great things about being a calligrapher is being able to work with fantastic couples around the world. Location really has no boundaries. I’ve worked with many couples in the US and as far away as Australia and the UK. Having not met them in person, it’s really great to see their wedding photos and vision come to life after the big day.
First off, Chandra & Jonathan from California. Their wedding was so fantastic that it was featured in both Style Me Pretty and The Knot Southern California. Chandra created all of her amazing wedding stationery with her MOH. Together they have started their own shop, Tilde Designs.
Mr. & Mrs.
I received this beautiful pic of the Mr. & Mrs. signs I created for a bride this past summer. Isn’t the New York skyline in the background just lovely?

Real Wedding: Nahla & Patrick
Over the Holidays I ‘calligraphed’ N & P’s seating cards for their beautiful winter wedding. N & P had their seating cards letterpress printed and they were displayed on a bed of white carnations. The wedding was designed and planned by Toronto’s Cynthia Martyn Events. Thank you Cynthia for sharing these photos. Be sure to check out Cynthia’s blogfor the rest of the photos from this stunning affair.
Calligraphy in Claire style.
Bee & Patrick: embossing fun
A while back I heard from one of my lovely customers, Bee, from Minnesota. She had purchased one of our rubber stamps for her Save The Dates and embossed the address on her envelopes.
Embossing is another great way to use our calligraphy stamps. You can read the entire post about her stamp and learn more about how she did the embossing here.
By the way, how cute are her Save the Dates?
Real Wedding: Chandra & Jonathan
Remember these cute little escort tags I calligraphed for C & J’s wedding? Well the big day came for C & J on August 29 at La Venta Inn, in Palos Verdes. Chandra was kind enough to share some of her beautiful photos with us. She looks absolutely stunning, don’t you think? And I love all their little details.
