There is something about addressing envelopes by h There is something about addressing envelopes by hand that I will never get tired of.Each name written one at a time. Slowly. Intentionally.
This is the very first thing your guests will hold in their hands before your wedding, and that first impression sets the tone for everything that follows.It is the kind of detail your guests notice and remember, the kind that gets them texting you before they even RSVP.Save this if hand-addressed envelopes are on your list, or reach out when you are ready to start planning yours.#weddinginvitations #weddingcalligraphy #envelopecalligraphy #weddingstationery #custominvitationsVideo by @carleyzuercher

Kara and Eric’s wedding is one I still think about Kara and Eric’s wedding is one I still think about.They wanted the ocean fully integrated, not just a color palette. So we built it into everything.The seating chart greeted guests with a simple invitation to “find your seat and dive right in.” Place cards were hand written in gold calligraphy directly onto agate stones, one for every guest, set on deep navy napkins next to gold flatware. Every table was named after a dive site or marine location they loved.This is the kind of work I love getting to do. When a couple comes to me with a real story and trusts me to weave it through every piece of paper, the whole wedding starts to feel like something only they could have had.Photography @ericahilliardphoto

Day of designs is where a wedding really comes tog Day of designs is where a wedding really comes together.For Anna and Vince’s reception, sage green menus rested on every place setting. A vintage gold mirror held the seating chart in hand written calligraphy. Plus a signature drinks sign greeted guests at the bar.Each piece was designed to feel like it had always belonged there.This is the part of stationery couples don’t always think about when they first inquire, but it’s the part their guests remember.If you’re planning your day of stationery, I’d love to talk.

There’s something about an arched invitation that There’s something about an arched invitation that makes you slow down before you even read it.This suite was built around that shape. Soft floral illustrations along the border. Textured seed paper that catch the light. A vellum outer envelope plus inner lavender envelope that hints at the personality of the wedding before guests open anything else.Custom design isn’t about adding more. It’s about choosing every detail with intention so the suite feels unmistakably theirs.Now booking 2026 and 2027 couples in Pittsburgh and beyond. Inquiry link in bio.Style shoot vendors:
