Calligraphy for Weddings




I'm working on hand-crafted posters to  publicize my calligraphy 
business at invitation retailers and other wedding related businesses.
This design co-ordinates with my new business cards.
I'm looking forward to serving brides in Western North Carolina.

Guess who is coming to dinner



Place cards at a wedding reception . . . well, an imaginary one for Lisa McMillan's class on how to be a wedding consultant being offered in Asheville.
Serving brides in Western North Carolina is my focus for my calligraphy - invitations, envelopes, place cards, guest books, the works! I have been working up many samples and getting my name out to party shops and consultants. I am ready to put my services to work for the next bride.

Dusting off

I'm getting ready to teach again! I am pleased to have found a community college that is willing to offer an 8 week class on calligraphy. While getting out my old class files, I came across some designs I had done when I lived in Charlotte, NC and was a new mother of twins. These were submitted for t-shirt designs. Since Charlotte is known as the Queen city and we all know moms are Queens - I liked the idea of a crown.

Wedding Services


I can now be found on WeddingWire
In my effort to promote my sevices to the wedding industry, I am now a vendor on this Martha Stewart website.
Here is a piece from my storefront:
The first statement of introduction for your wedding day will be your invitation selection and the addressing on the envelope. Make the most of it! Hand-executed calligraphy will give a personal statement about your special day. I have been practicing calligraphy for 20 years. I can create lettering styles that range from traditional to trendy. I can also provide personal touches through out the special event with a one-of-a-kind guest registry, place cards, seating charts, favors and other decorative accents.
