Place cards for Ann Hay (Style: Bloom)

Abby — Tue, 11 Dec 2012 15:51:28 +0000

These place cards were done for Ann Hay (whose wedding invitation envelopes I also addressed in the same style). A fun and pleasant job to work on!

Escort tags for Susan (Style: Eudora)

Abby — Fri, 30 Nov 2012 13:03:06 +0000

These cute escort tags (written on manila shipping tags) were used at Susan’s reception. (I also addressed her wedding invitation envelopes in this style.)

Guest table numbers were written inside the little heart-shaped space in the barn stamp. So cute!

Envelopes and seating tags for Kristy + Adrian (Style: Ada)

It was my pleasure to work on these lovely wedding invitation envelopes for Kristy and Adrian. Their invitation suite was designed by Antiquaria and I used the style Ada with black ink.

SEATING TAGS

For the escort cards/seating tags, I worked with Kate Harlan at Simply Chic Events. I love the stained wooden tags; the clover charms are an allusion to the groom’s homeland, Ireland.

Congratulations, Kristy and Adrian!

This was a really special calligraphy job, because these are the wedding invitation envelopes for my baby sister! Yes, Kelsey is getting married in October to one of my good friends from college, Alex. I am SO PUMPED for their wedding, and it was an honor to get to work on their envelopes for them!

Ashley is an acquaintance from my alma mater, and so I was thrilled to be able to work on her wedding invitation envelopes for her. I LOVE the bright white Della style on her slate gray envelopes!
