Wedding Calligraphy
Having spent a good part of today immersed in hand-calligraphy – crafting President Bill Clinton’s name onto an invitation – and working on a commemorative publication featuring the man himself, I find myself drawn to other examples of fine calligraphy…
Danae Blackburn-Hernandez for example has been “fascinated with letters” ever since she can remember. Danae took her first calligraphy lesson when she was 12, and has continued to study the art ever since, incorporating watercolour paintings to create these beautiful wedding maps, signs and invitations. Her work has been featured in Martha Stewart wedding magazine.

Letterpress Wedding Stationery
I’ve spotted another lovely bit of wedding stationery, using some really gorgeous letterpressing.
Some great use of a splash of colour combined with a really crisp bit of type sets the tone for an American summer wedding.
Via Kate Holgate.
Wedding Invitations
Another attractive set of wedding stationery – it’s unusual to see bright red as a wedding theme/colour – but I think here the use of red as a nod toward a retro-postal theme is really striking!
Via Snippet&Ink.
Wedding Season 2
Continuing my love of unusual wedding invitations, here’s one in the format of a poster (unusual in itself for a wedding invitation!).
