Which calligraphy style is right for my wedding?
I’ve been practicing calligraphy for over 5 years and it’s such a beautiful art form. Slowly and smoothly combining letterforms across paper is so satisfying to both write and watch. There are many forms of calligraphy, but I specialize in the Spencerian & Copperplate styles. Each one is unique and servers a different purpose. Which one is the best for you is based on your personal style, wedding theme, and invitation style.
Spencerian Calligraphy
Spencerian calligraphy is beautiful and formal. It’s clean strokes and delicate flourishes are perfect for a more upscale wedding or traditional wedding invitation suite. It looks absolutely stunning in metallic gold ink on dark paper.
Copperplate Calligraphy
Copperplate calligraphy is bright and playful. It’s elaborate flourishes and contrasting strokes make it perfect for a more contemporary or fun wedding invitation suite. It looks beautiful in colorful inks or on vibrant envelopes.
How else can I include calligraphy in my stationery?
Envelope addressing is the obvious choice, but it’s not the only way to feature calligraphy in your wedding! I’ve done handwritten place cards in all shapes and sizes, as well as gift and favor tags. Anything that features a guest’s name can most likely be personalized with calligraphy. See a few examples below!
