Wedding Calligraphy by Laura Hooper, II
I honestly believe that (if your budget allows) calligraphy can add so much to a wedding. From a beautifully designed envelope, to perfect place cards…calligraphy adds a touch of femininity and art to your look. Thus, I wanted to share a few more tips from Laura Hooper about incorporating calligraphy into your wedding style…
Think Creatively: I have done some pretty interesting pieces in calligraphy. Most recently, I did an order for a wedding in San Diego, CA for calligraphy on Lucite tiles. They were dark red, and the calligraphy was painted on in gold ink. They looked amazing. They were displayed on the wall with a light behind them so they lit up. The table numbers were matching, they were larger red panels with the names of golf courses as table names instead of numbers. I have also done sanddollars, compasses, and Spanish tiles as placecards as well.
In addition to envelopes and placecards, you can do all your table signs, bar signs, and miscellaneous signs in calligraphy. Also, you can incorporate camera ready artwork into your invitations, menus and programs. I do a lot of work for menus and programs. I also like to do personalized photo mattes, and I have a lot of requests to get wedding vows and poetry written in calligraphy as well.

I just fall in Love with the Little Compas serving sa table placements! I have never seen it before, I just LOVE the idea. As to Calligraphy, here is a definition that speaks for itself: "the art of giving form to signs in an expressive, harmonious and skillful manner"

Laura's work is unbelievable! She is such an amazing calligrapher with such a great personality and creativity!
I have seen and used the amazing origami work of paperblooms.com and highly recommend considering them for your wedding needs! If you are looking for something unique and original take a look at what this site has to offer. This business creates personalized table cards and beautiful assorted roses that won’t wilt regardless of the weather and will last a lifetime, unlike fresh flowers! Awesome quality and our order were received timely. I plan to use them again!
Does anyone know where those compasses can be found? Because I'm from the East coast and my fiance is from the west coast, I'm using a compass as a logo in our wedding stationary, and it's going to play a theme throughout. These compass table placements are AMAZING and I would LOVE to know where to find them! Thank you!!
