Wedding place tag calligraphy

These luxurious letterpress tags were sent to me to be handwritten in freestyle calligraphy.

I love writing on letterpress card – I think by the very nature of the press, the card has to be strong and therefore a gorgeous quality: just right for calligraphy.

Names are written in gouache ink, and (for the calligraphers reading – hello!) I use a Gillot 303 nib for the freestyle calligraphy.

Rustic wedding place cards

Our khadi paper place cards are perfect for a rustic wedding – torn by hand from quality khadi paper and handwritten in copperplate or freestyle calligraphy, they’ll sit beautifully on napkins or plates.

Wedding place cards with pink ribbons – part two!

Congratulations to Katie and Craig! My cousin Katie married her man Craig in September. I was really pleased when Katie asked if I could write her wedding calligraphy: place cards and a wedding table plan with a hot pink theme!

Katie made such a beautiful bride – my little cousin, all grown up!

My sister Alison and her husband are the lovely team behind Simon Hudspeth Photography, and they’ve let me share some pictures of the calligraphy in situ!

Wedding place cards with pink ribbons – part one!

These lovely little wedding place cards with pink ribbons are a new product for The Wedding Calligrapher. I’ve simply added little hot pink ribbons to the corners of the cards – and they do look ever so pretty!

These place cards are all the more special because they were for my cousin Katie’s wedding day. Katie married Craig in London in early September. The theme for the day was definitely lots of pink, and I’ll blog some of the official wedding photographs soon!
