Elizabeth Anne Designs Blog

I'm so excited to be included on Elizabeth Anne Designs blog! And by the way, this wedding was even more special because it was a family member (she's the beautiful one in the wedding gown)!

I am attaching some quick pics of Cammy and Kris' wedding invitations as well. They wanted everything very simple and elegant thus the black on black. I was thrilled to help them make their wedding day even more special.

May I show you to your seat...

Katie and Rob chose to create a custom Seating Scroll to direct guests to their seats. Rather than escort cards, the Naurath's decided 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!

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

Audrey's 30th Birthday Celebration

Parisian Audrey decided to celebrate her 30th birthday by throwing herself an amazing party! A photographer in Paris, she had her perfect evening captured on film. I created her invitations, place cards and menus in soft pink which set the tone perfectly for the evening. Enjoy the movie as well as these photos of my contributions!   http://www.lesecretdaudrey.com/

Picture-Perfect Save-the-Date

Bride Kari has always enjoyed being creative. 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.

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.

South African Wedding

Once again, I had a bride ask me to create a custom calligraphy style for her wedding invitations. 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!

Style Me Pretty Feature Wedding

I'm so excited and honored! One of my brides, and So Dressed Up wedding planner, had her beautifully sophisticated wedding featured on Style Me Pretty's Illinois blog! 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!!!!

A Beautiful Custom Calligraphy Style

I 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.

I returned Katie's completed envelopes to her on Friday. I LOVE the way they turned out and so does she.

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!
