The Wedding Invitations and Envelopes

First thing comes first! Let’s start with your wedding day invitations! Whenever we think of incorporating calligraphy into a wedding detail, the very first thing that comes to everyone’s mind is the alluring envelopes adorned with stunning and beautifully calligraphed addresses! And, we are undoubtedly all in huge favor of going all out for the mind-blowing calligraphed envelopes but just a suggestion here, you can also use calligraphy for your entire wedding day invitations too! Going for a calligraphed wedding invitation will not only bring a wide smile to the face of your wedding guests whenever they will open your wedding invite but it will also give a brief idea about your wedding day and your personality! Depending on your budget and your wedding day guests’ list size, you can ask your calligrapher to handwrite each wedding invitation entirely in calligraphy or even brush lettering (check out Pinterest for more ideas and inspiration for this calligraphy style). In fact, you can also commission something called pot calligraphy, where the calligrapher will write out a few words (usually your’s and your sweetheart’s name and most probably the wedding venue or the location of your wedding day) and then can digitally scan the lettering to add into the final wedding day invitation design! Whether you are a bride who is planning a classic and elegant wedding, or a die-hard fan of a modern wedding, or you have already planned your memorable bohemian wedding in advance, there are calligraphy styles to suit every style and wedding theme! All you have to do is pick one style that resonates best with your wedding theme and woos all your wedding guests! In fact, a stunningly calligraphed wedding invitation will also look flawless in all your wedding portfolio when it will be documented by our experienced and professional wedding photographers and videographers!

In short, lovely calligraphy on your wedding invitation packages and envelopes is nothing but absolutely timeless and gorgeous! Well, this trend is majorly followed in 2017, but is now making its come back in the ring again! Trust us, when we say that every calligraphy style is unique and all it will do is make your wedding day invitation suite one of a kind!


Wedding Day Signs

Large signs are not only visible from a distance but they are indeed the perfect way to welcome all your wedding guests to your wedding! We just want to tell you that wedding day welcome signs can be made out of anything from large pieces of plexiglass to reclaimed wood. Even an oversized tropical leaf will look stunning when calligraphed gorgeously! If these wedding welcome signs are not enough for you, you don’t need to stress over them! There are millions of ideas waiting for you on Pinterest! Apart from welcome signs, there are other areas where you can consider bringing in calligraphy! Whether it be to sign your wedding day guestbook, what your wedding hashtag is, or that you are planning an unplugged wedding ceremony, or that your wedding has an open bar, signs are undoubtedly the easiest ways to get your messages across to your wedding guests! And when these signs are calligraphed in beautiful fonts they will definitely elevate your wedding day sign decor game to the next level! Beautifully calligraphed wedding signs and welcome signs will also look stunning in your wedding video and wedding photographs especially when captured by our talented wedding photographers and videographers! But, just make sure that you are not overpowering your wedding day signs by having calligraphy as the main design just to make them stand out!


Flawlessly Calligraphed Wedding Ceremony Backdrops

Using your and your’s sweetheart’s favorite quote, or the lyrics of your favorite song, or a meaningful phrase flawlessly written in beautiful calligraphy to serve as the backdrop of your wedding ceremony, is not only a creative idea to bring in calligraphy to your wedding day but is also a very romantic idea! This kind of wedding ceremony backdrop will give endless wedding photography opportunities to our professional wedding photographers and videographers to capture the romance between you and your partner in the best of frames possible! For this kind of calligraphy, the text can be painted onto a piece of fabric (white cotton curtains or even a bed sheet will do the trick) if a bohemian wedding is on your mind. Well, you can also consider writing the text onto a roll of art paper, or even printed.


Calligraphy for Your Romantic Wedding Vows

With every aspect of our life affected by technology, we understand that it is extremely easy to use a mobile phone to read your wedding vows to the love of your life during your wedding ceremony. But how about the idea of using a delicate piece of paper that is gracefully and artistically riddled with beautiful calligraphy and your affirmation of love! Isn’t that great and incredibly romantic at the same time? This is indeed a great move to incorporate the script into your wedding day! Once you both are pronounced as the newly married couple, instead of throwing away that piece of paper you can reuse them and also get them frames so that you can hang them in your new home as a beautiful memory of your big and special day!


Calligraphy on Your Wedding Day Place Cards

Planning every aspect of your wedding day beforehand is important as it avoids last-minute chaos! For your wedding guests, a seating chart or escort card will surely help them to reach the appropriate table! But, if you are planning on assigned seating at your wedding, you will also need place cards! If you are hiring a calligrapher for everything, or you are planning to show off your calligraphy skills, you can handwrite each guess name in stunning calligraphy. Doing this will not only add a touch of personalization but will also showcase your love and romance in the best way possible! Just by this sweet gesture, your wedding guests will feel extra special on your wedding day! And this kind of wedding decor will look fantastic in your wedding photo album too! You can also consider adding colors to the place cards! Like some color-dipped place cards with deckled edges, or some beautiful calligraphy tags pinned to some kind of gold spray-painted faux fruit will be a great idea if you are planning to get married during the fall season!


Seating Charts & Escorts Cards

Your wedding day seating charts and escort cards undoubtedly serve the extremely helpful purpose of letting your wedding guests know where to sit at your wedding reception!

Well, before you go ahead and wear your creative hat, let us tell you the difference between a seating chart and an escort card so that you plan your calligraphy style in that way and make your wedding day decor stand out! The seating chart is usually organized by the table number, with the names of each of your wedding guests at that table below, whereas escort cards are individual cards alphabetized according to your guest’s name that will help them to reach their table! In both conditions, your wedding guests will be looking at a stunning and enchanting calligraphy style! Resonating with your wedding day theme, you can choose the color and style of the calligraphy for your guest’s name!
