It was almost a year ago in November 2013, when I was contacted by Pamela to inquire about addressing envelopes for her daughter Jessica’s wedding. She wanted a casual script for the Save-the-Dates, and a formal style script for the wedding invites. Of course I was more than happy to work with Pamela and Jessica to add a personal touch to set the mood for a special day!

I documented the progress on Instagram as I went along.

The Save-The-Dates. A casual script, using custom-mixed gray gouache for a softer look.

The invites were addressed in a more formal and classy style, also in a soft gray.

Seating cards. I used a tiny vintage Esterbrook mapping nib for these and they turned out really well.

Fun labels for the Candy & Cookies table! Pamela wanted a more fun script for these and I love how they turned out.

And here are some photos Pamela shared with me from the wedding day.

Seating cards all lined up

And here is the fun Candy & Cookies table! This was very special as Jessica’s grandmothers were wonderful bakers.

A closeup. How sweet and how fun!

It was wonderful to work with Pamela and Jessica on this lovely wedding. As a calligrapher, I don’t usually get to see my work in the wedding, so I really appreciated these photos! It makes me so happy and honored to have my calligraphy to be a part of such a special day.
