Like a necklace to your date night outfit or that dazzling
pair of stilettos to your little black dress, your wedding stationary just
isn't complete without a little calligraphy. Plus, nothing says elegant,
classy, and bridal quite like hand lettering. You can almost feel the love in
every little swirl and flourish that graces the paper. This ancient art takes
years to master and it truly shows! Can you just imagine receiving one of these
little gems in the mail?
Think calligraphy is too formal for your rustic country
affair or modern museum wedding? Think again! There are so many different
styles of calligraphy and hand-lettering that there's bound to be something
just right no matter the theme of your event!
Now as a designer, I never recommend digitally
printing mailing addresses on wedding invitations! And I don't know about you,
but my handwriting wouldn't exactly be described as "elegant" (even
though I've also spent years mastering it:) So I always recommend working with a
calligrapher to create that one of a kind look for your wedding invitations.
And while there's nothing quite like the hand-lettered look
of calligraphy, I know it isn't always the most practical or the most
affordable option for the invitations
themselves. But don't get your veil all in a knot just yet, there are some fabulous digital
options out there that can also be a great accessory for your stationary. Here
a just a few that have me swooning lately...
And my personal favorite....
I hope you will consider calligraphy for your big day paper goods! It's the "write" thing to do:)
