CALLIGRAPHY : WESLEY'S SIP & SEE PARTY

Some of the sweet things I painted for Wesley's sip and see this past weekend.  Sarah knows how to throw a good party and I was delighted to lend my talents to this cuteness!  Wesley was so precious and content the whole time, even while being passed around and taking quick naps in between.  Such a good idea, to have everyone over at once to mingle and meet him (plus catch up with friends and drink mimosa!)  So fun! Jump over to Sarah's blog for more details and photos.

RECENT WORK : COASTAL CALLIGRAPHY

Loved collaborating with Paper Please for this pretty coastal wedding suite.  Heather designed the invitation suite and I did the calligraphy and custom wooden stamp.  The colors are just great! 

RECENT WORK: CORAL & MUSTARD

Some recent custom invitations and day of paper goods I created for a Brooklyn wedding.  I loved the color choices for this wedding.  It was the brides idea to make each a little different and I loved how these turned out! The suite that went out to guests was all on a white background with mustard wording, the envelope calligraphy was done in mustard as well.  Then we brought out the pretty coral color in the day of programs.  I did an ombre watercolor for the menu.  I painted each table number and swept coral gouache over each one so they would all be a little different.  LOVE!  

If you want to do some crazy colorful paper for your wedding, you know where to find me!
