Orchard Chic Wedding - Invitations

These are the invitations to my sister's chic orchard wedding. All calligraphy was either handwritten (like the envelopes) or scanned into the computer from the original artwork and printed on each invitation. The envelopes were chocolate brown with ivory calligraphy!

The awesome envelopes!

This is the envelopement that my sis sewed one by one for the invites!

This is their wedding logo that you will see other places!

I love doing single words to pop out on the invites. These were just her style.

Last but not least...the RSVP card and envelope. The envelopes were stamped with a custom stamp I made for them with their address. This stamp can be used in the future for Christmas cards and baby announcements (ok I'm thinking way ahead!). I loved the colors she picked. Can't wait to show off the wedding pictures....coming soon!

A Modern Event Grand Opening Recap

I had an amazing time at the Grand Opening event for A Modern Event! I wanted to share some quick photos for you all. Posting has been slim because of moving, but we are getting organized and I hope to have plenty to share next week. Including some really great stationers. Enjoy the photos. All the the calligraphy is my new style that I will be highlighting next week! Have a great weekend.

A Modern Event Grand Opening!!! (featuring Designs by Robyn Love)

I spent the last two weeks busily planning and ordering, then yesterday finally writing!!! What are you talking about you ask. Jodi Bos of In Any Event, Modern Day Floral, Ben Harrison Photography and Sweet Cakes Design have opened a bridal boutique in downtown Grand Rapids, MI called A Modern Event. Just look at the setup below!!! I love it.

The grand opening is April 23 from 5-8pm. And Jodi has asked me to provide some new and exciting calligraphy for the amazing tablescapes and escort card table! I give you this little teaser...black, white, silver!!! I've been practicing for these new designs and am gitty with excitement. I hope to have some preview photos this week.

Ashley and James' Wedding Envelopes

I have been busy creating these super fun envelopes for Ashley and James' Wedding coming up in June. Ashley won a giveaway that I hosted on April Foster's blog back in January and chose to use her prize toward envelope addressing. I just adore the color of these envelopes and can't wait to see the rest of her wedding ideas! She hasn't even seen these beauties yet...but I wanted to give you all a little sneak preview. Don't you want you receive one of these in your mailbox come April or May??? Congratulations Ashley and James!

Looking Back::Event Three

If you are looking for some amazing inspiration for a warm summer wedding, check out this oneg that the "practically perfect in every way" Jodi Bos (or was that Mary Poppins) of In Any Event put on last August. And I am so happy to report will be featured as a three page spread in the 2009 Fall/Winter issue of The Knot!

It started out with these exceptional invites and captivating calligraphy that I named Lizzy after the bride.

Then comes the decorations, bringing together the fun color scheme...orange, blue and green!

I just adore how the escort cards were just growing out of some grass!

This photo also by Jen Kroll Photography, just zoomed a little so you can see the calligraphy.

I can't help but stare at this dining room and love how the outdoors were brought inside!

Some place cards by yours truly right at the top here.

And the simple table numbers (again my own design) look so fancy coming out of a pot of flowers.

My favorite shot for you to see the color scheme played out and my place cards shining right in the middle!

This photo is just spectacular...

And the cake design to die for....

Looking Back::Event Two

A June wedding is always spectacular, but add an outside tent and traditional colors and you have a beauty! In Any Event designed this spread and asked me to take on this traditional font that I call Christine. Thank you to Coastline Studios and Holly Henderson Photography for the amazing photos.

The Outer Envelopes turned out great...but with how long the guest list was I thought I would never finish!

Aren't the table settings amazing. I can't believe how artistic the photographer made the place cards look.

Amazing flower arrangements!

And this cake is a work of art! Just my style. What an eventful and special wedding!

Looking Back::Event One

I thought it would be interesting to give some highlights to the events that I have done this year and descibe the photos to help my readers get to know my history a little bit. My first big event was last June...the 21st. It was a 50th birthday summer solstice! And the colors reflected just that. Orange. Yellow. Grass Green. In Any Event threw a wonderful party...so glad that my calligraphy got to be a part of it!

I learned a brand new font for this event...I call it Eleanor. It is fun and whimsical. The client thought it matched the invitation font great.

I had a great time making the labels for these escort candles. Each guest got to take one home with their name written with swoops galore.

Adorning the tables was my sweet little place cards...with fancy y's!Check out the beautiful flowers!!!

I was able to try out one of these silk chair pads...at eight months pregnant I thought they were really nice!A view of the finished room...My college friend Ryan Prins takes beautiful photographs doesn't he!

I didn't get to see this cake in person...but wow. I just needed to share it. Don't you think it is beautiful! Stay tuned for some other beautiful events...and fun calligraphy for the calligraphy lover in you.
