Rich in life because I get to make the first offic Rich in life because I get to make the first official piece of someone’s wedding.Before anything else happens, before the dress, the flowers, the seating chart, there’s this. A name, hand lettered, sent out into the world for the first time.
Still one of my favorite parts of this work, every single time.Anyone else get this attached to their work?
Things I love: wax seals 🤍 There’s something abou Things I love: wax seals 🤍There’s something about the process that gets me every time. Poured by hand, pressed one at a time, never quite the same twice.This is still one of my favorite small details to make by hand for invitations and wedding day stationery.I’d love to know one of your favorite embellishment on wedding invitations - comment below!
One of the most fun ways to start planning your we One of the most fun ways to start planning your wedding invitations is with a sample kit in your hands.This one is heading out to a couple who just had their first consult with me. They hadn’t seen a lot of invitations recently and didn’t have strong opinions yet, so I put a little bit of everything in the box. Paper options to feel. Letterpress to see up close. Envelope liners, vellum wraps, a gatefold sample, and of course an envelope calligraphy sample.Sometimes you don’t know what you love until you can hold it in your hands.If you’re at the beginning of planning your invitations and feeling unsure, that’s exactly the right time to reach out. Free consults always. Inquiry link in bio.

Victoria and Clayton’s was the second kind.Soft watercolor florals in dusty pink, lavender, and butter yellow. Names in delicate script. Every detail designed to feel a little dreamy.Romantic suites are some of my favorite to design. There’s something about pastel watercolor and soft script that just feels like a love letter.Photographer @leeannmariephoto
