I have loved creating chalkboards for everything from a bridal shower seating chart to wedding program to new baby announcement. The options are endless and truly create that something special for any event. Here is a little inspiration from a few chalkboards I've created over the last couple of months. Keep the ideas coming!<br />

The bride and groom wanted to be sure their wedding was classic and timeless and they had the perfect backdrop, Winfield's homestown, Williamsburg, Virginia. Laura challenged me by asking for a custom calligraphy style (which I think I may have to add as a standard style I love it so much!). All of the beautiful photography, captured by <a href="http://www.bitofivoryphotography.com/" target="_blank">Bit of Ivory Photography</a>, is featured on <a href="http://www.glamourandgraceblog.com/2013/classic-toile-williamsburg-wedding/" target="_blank">Glamour & Grace</a> blog. <br />

I'm out of excuses for not posting things to my blog!<br />
<br />
Thankfully I've been so extremely busy, but it leaves little time to feature the work I've been working on! Style Me Pretty has helped me out on this one featuring one of my bride's gorgeous weddings on their Florida blog. It's always such an honor to be featured on their blog!<br />

Kara's style was bold and beautiful with colorful paper pieces. In addition to addressing her envelopes, I also had the pleasure of creating seating charts for each table as well as a variety of signs and table numbers. They all turned out wonderfully and fit her style to a T.<br />

While I loved addressing Kelly and Luke's envelopes, it was the added details I helped with that are just so special. Kelly had big plans, and I'm honored to help bring some of them to life. I absolutely adore the direction sign leading guests to the events of the day!<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.glamourandgraceblog.com/2013/a-vintage-burgundy-wedding/" target="_blank">Glamour & Grace</a> blog highlights each special moment along the way from the adorable hangers made by Kelly for her bridesmaids to the gorgeous photo of Kelly and her father walking down the aisle. <a href="http://www.kristinlavoiephotography.com/" target="_blank">Kristin La Voie Photography</a> captured every last detail beautifully.<br />

In my former life, I worked in Marketing Communications with a heavy emphasis on graphic design and print production. I enjoy the design process and creating something beautiful.<br />
<br />
Liza and Neil trusted me to create their fall wedding invitation. At our first meeting, Liza and her mother came armed with inspiration pieces which gave me a real sense of what they liked and didn't like. The wheels in my head started turning immediately. I created 5 invitation samples and after some mixing and matching, we decided on the pieces below.<br />

It was such a pleasure to work with Liza and her mom, Sue. Working with such wonderful brides and mothers truly makes my job a treat! Below is the lovely e-mail I received from Sue.<br />
<br />
<i>THANK YOU for your beautiful contribution to making this wedding a
beautiful celebration. Your artistry was a truly unexpected gift that
exceeded our expectations. Your work sets the scene for the event that
unfolds and there is no way to measure how much excitement and
anticipation your creation creates! Your kind helpfulness made the
decision making a fun process, not a chore, and you handle every detail
with professionalism and promptness.</i> Calligraphy by Cristinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06301930537257307380noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8467200781822530284.post-68122907264939735502012-09-27T23:21:00.000-05:002012-09-27T23:21:08.420-05:00Linda + Mike = Beautiful Wedding DayArizona provided the perfect backdrop to Linda and Mike's intimate wedding. They commissioned me write their seating chart. After framing it in a beautiful frame (found by the bride at none other than Hobby Lobby), the chart was carefully positioned among wedding flowers and candles. The elegant table welcomed guests and set the mood for an enchanted evening.<br />

It seems there are always a couple new fonts that I see over and over again each wedding season and popular colors (purple, a personal favorite, is popping up everywhere). But never before have I seen an envelope color take over weddings the way black and dark gray has!<br />
<br />
I just finished my sixth set of black/dark gray envelopes, and I have another set ready to start tonight! And as always, what I love about my job, is that each bride who has chosen to use such a dramatic envelope has selected a very different calligraphy style for each. No two brides have requested the same calligraphy style and a couple have even requested custom styles.<br />
<br />
I thought I'd share a few photos of 3 of these sets and perhaps provide some additional inspiration for another trendy bride!<br />

Not only is it packed with oodles of wedding goodness, but it includes a little wedding inspiration from yours truly. Yes, one of my envelopes can be found on page 40! <br />
<br />
The envelope is a beautiful navy color with silver ink giving it a very regal look. It's fun to include your wedding color somewhere other than the bridesmaid dresses and flowers. You can show off your color of choice by selecting envelopes that match. And navy is a color that is so classic, it can be used for a wedding set any time of the year.<br />

to have a seating chart with each guest's name and the table they were seated. They chose to add artwork to the top of the chart that reflected the style of their wedding and a border around edge because they weren't framing it. It turned out beautifully and is something
they can keep forever!</span><br />
<br />
<span class="hasCaption">I create seating charts by first writing the chart, scanning it in and then maneuvering the elements around to make it perfect. This allows for the couple to review everything to make sure the seating arrangement as well as guests names are correct. This also gives the couple the opportunity to add artwork to match their invitation or wedding style. I then have it printed in what ever format they prefer. It makes for a flawless seating chart and a special keepsake from their wedding day</span><br />

She is a graphic designer by day and an encaustic painter in her free time. It was really exciting for her to have the opportunity to work on her own wedding materials! For her save-the-date, Kari created a gorgeous vintage postcard and placed it inside an envelope to avoid getting lost in the mail. She incorporated her love for letterpress and calligraphy. She was drawn to letterpress and traditional printing techniques but also greatly valued the art of hand-drawn calligraphy.<br />
<br />
That is where I came in! In addition to addressing the envelopes, Kari asked me to write a few words to include on their save-the-date postcard. What was created is what you see here! The final product is Kari's picture-perfect design.<br />

I LOVE when brides think outside the box! This custom style was created for a Massachusetts bride marrying her South African groom IN South Africa, and I loved the way I turned out. There is something about an added flourish that makes an envelope go from special to super special!<br />

Check out all of the breath taking photography which includes a few items I created for her including escort cards, the "Bride" and "Groom" signs hung from the back of their chairs, an envelope from her wedding invitations and her "Bride" bag. It's easy to tell Katie is a wedding and event planner. Every detail is perfect! Congratulations Katie and Chris!!!!<br />

Calligraphy by Cristinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06301930537257307380noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8467200781822530284.post-19427779316462984642011-04-18T16:01:00.001-05:002012-02-23T16:02:54.631-06:00A Beautiful Custom Calligraphy StyleI love a bride who pushes me to try something new. My bride and event planner, Katie, asked me to create a custom style based on a sample she found on-line. I started by creating a sample. I photographed it, e-mailed it to her for approval and the rest, as they say, is history. <br />
<br />
I returned Katie's completed envelopes to her on Friday. I LOVE the way they turned out and so does she. <br />
<br />
Keep custom styles in mind when looking for that perfect calligrapher. Sometimes you may like a calligrapher's overall style, and positive customer reviews, but they do not have a calligraphy option that matches your invitation. Ask if they can create something custom for you. A custom calligraphy style not only helps carry your wedding theme through to your envelopes but adds one more special touch to your wedding!<br />

Thankfully it is because I have been swamped with work and have the hardest time finding a few minutes in my day to write something. So today's the day!<br />
<br />
I love working with couples like Kim and Chad. They are friends with two other couples whose wedding invitations I addressed. There is nothing better than being recommended to someone by a happy customer! <br />
<br />
Kim and Chad were married last weekend at a beautiful resort in Florida. When I started working with them, they hired me just to address their invitations. They were pleased enough with my work to then ask me to write their place cards, table numbers and menus! It is so much fun being involved with all aspects of a couple's wedding. I feel honored to be such a big part of it! And the best part is I was able to use my newest calligraphy style, Zaner, for everything. <br />

From simple to extravagant and contemporary to traditional, these invitations will speak to almost everyone. <a href="http://www.calligraphybycristine.com/invitations.html">Invitations by Cristine</a> include 8 different designs. Each one is completely customizable - you can choose the color, calligraphy style, envelope liner, ribbon and more. Each suite includes the invitation, reception card, RSVP card and RSVP envelope. <br />
<br />
The invitations can be printed traditionally or letterpress. <br />
<br />
If none of these are quite what you are looking for, I am more than happy to work with you to create a custom design to bring your vision to life. <br />

They had a smallish, autumn wedding in upstate New York and there was no detail not handled perfectly. I was chosen to address their wedding invitations. They chose my Caroline style with the addresses written in All Caps (my absolute favorite style, by the way!). They captured the envelopes in these beautiful shots.<br />

Amanda and Luke asked me to write their place cards as well. They had gone to the location of their wedding and taken lots of artistic shots. They then used these wonderfully unique photos as the place cards at their reception. As I said, there was no detail overlooked and it shows!<br />

Your list of things to do grows longer daily (even though you're constantly checking things off!). Now that you've hired me to address your wedding invitations, don't forget about setting aside time to stuff those envelopes (Note to self: add stuffing to "To-Do List"). <br />
<br />
Now immediately cross stuffing off your list. I'm here to make your life easier. Not only will I address your wedding invites, for a small fee, I will go to the post office and buy your postage, attach the postage to the envelopes (outer and RSVP), stuff your envelopes AND drop them all off at the post office when complete. <br />
<br />
I just finished stuffing envelopes for my last bride. I love being able to help a bride quickly cross things off her "To-Do List." Having me stuff your envelopes not only saves you time, it also saves a trip (or postage) to retrieve your completed envelopes! Plus, I can help you feel your way through purchasing the correct postage for your envelopes. <br />

She is Swiss so all of this wedding planning is so foreign to her and my cousin isn't much help! She didn't want a shower at all so an aunt decided the only way to host one for her was to surprise her. It was lovely and while she was so overwhelmed by the entire thing, I think she really enjoyed herself.<br />
<br />
It was next to impossible to find that perfect shower gift for her. She and my cousin aren't registering anywhere (it seems strange for her to ask for gifts), so I had to get creative. I decided to make her a set of note cards (along with a gift card). They are a super cute gift idea and who can't use note cards after a shower to write all those thank you notes!<br />
