I had a little mention on Southern Weddings earlier this week.  Their June Southern Bride of the Month, Kelly, mentioned one of my wedding suites as a personal favorite.  You can read the entire post here on their website.  Thanks for the mention Kelly!

PRESS :: CHARLESTON WEDDINGS

 As evident by my lack of recent blog posts, I've been extremely busy over the last couple of months!  In the midst of all the chaos I was extremely excited when Katherine Miller of Katherine Miller Events in Charleston, South Carolina contacted me about working with her on a tablescape she was creating for an article in the summer 2012 issue of Charleston Weddings magazine.  Obviously my answer was DUH! I'd love to help!  Katherine created a gorgeous Vintage Prep themed sweetheart tablescape with a color pallet that will knock your socks off and I happily provided the lettering for the place cards, favors, table number, and chair signs.  

You can read the entire article in the summer issue or by going to their website here.  And you can read Katherine's blog post about her experience here.  Special thanks to Katherine for asking me to help, it was such a blast!

The LOPES

Over the last month my life has been generally consumed by what my husband and I fondly refer to as "the lopes."  ENVELOPES.  Obscene amounts of envelopes.  1,286 envelopes to be exact.  Yes.  You did read that correctly.  Seven different styles in five different colors, sometimes starting at 5am and ending at midnight.  I wish I could say that I enjoyed every minute it of it, but I won't lie, there were definitely WHAT WAS I THINKING?!?! moments.  But, as I sent the last shipment out, I felt good, accomplished, and better educated about what I can and can't handle (physically and mentally!) in terms of my work load.  A few tears and thumb cramps and countless hand rubs later, I am happy to say I have seven happy brides, and one happy (but tired) calligrapher!  

I promise to do more specialized posts on everything, but for now, here's a sneak peak at THE LOPES!

WOOD VENEAR SAVE THE DATES

I am so excited to show you these beautiful and unique Save The Dates that I have been working on with Hillary of Brocade Designs.  My calligraphy was set in the hand-drawn image of a leaf and then printed on the gorgeous wood veneer material and sent in a wooden envelope featuring a custom mailing label.  Absolute eye candy!  I am itching to show you the rest of the pieces we worked on for this May wedding in Ringgold, Louisiana, but you'll have to wait just a little bit longer.  For now, you can just salivate over these beautiful images from Donald Yeager Photography borrowed from Brocade.  Enjoy!

This morning I was so incredibly thrilled to see this lovely little article from the ladies at Ashley's Bride Guide.  It's always nice to be surprised with the kind words of those who appreciate the art of typography.  Thanks so much for the shout out!
