Calligraphy for a Wedding Guest Book

A wedding guest book hand lettered, for the most part, in my Classic Design Style. There are a few Lavish flourishes thrown in here and there.

 Some books record more than just the names of guests attending the wedding. Many books include areas to record the bride and groom's family trees, which I think is a great way to preserve a record of both families for future generations.

...and there are so many

 affordable - pretty - ready-made

 guest books available today!

I posted earlier about the calligraphy I did for this wedding, but I wanted to show you these beautiful images taken by Brooke Images. Courtney and Josh's wedding was featured earlier this month on the Style Me Pretty blog. I think the fleur de lis card holders are beautiful.

The fleur de lis was a design element used in the wedding invitations, and I love that the theme was carried over to the reception.

Calligraphy for Wedding at Beck Chapel at Indiana University

©Jane Farr Calligraphy & Design LLC

 As a Purdue alum, it pains me every time I do calligraphy for a wedding at Beck Chapel on the campus of Indiana University.  I'm just kidding.  Beck Chapel is beautiful and would make a wonderful venue for a small, intimate wedding ceremony.  In fact, the bride and her mother were a real pleasure to work with and were excellent ambassadors for I.U. :)

©Jane Farr Calligraphy & Design LLC

 The calligraphy is not one of my typical design styles but was done to match the script on the invitations.

The lovely invitations were designed by Oliver's Twist at Clay Terrace here in Carmel.

French Quote for A Wedding Gift

 This quote was done for a client to give as a gift for a friend's wedding.  The lettering in French was done in my Whimsical Design Style.  I did a custom lettering style for the English translation and the attribution.  The finished piece is approximately 26" x 13".

 I designed a custom flourish. for the bottom left corner and.....

A lovely quote for the bride and groom!

Aspen Mountain Wedding Deck Colorado Calligraphy

©Jane Farr Calligraphy & Design LLC

 From beginning to end, these wedding invitations were custom made. The couple's ceremony will take place at the beautiful Little Nell Aspen Mountain Wedding Deck in Aspen, Colorado. Ghega Scolari of Cartabella Shop designed the invitation.

©Jane Farr Calligraphy & Design LLC

Ghega designed the logo which incorporates the initials of the couple and an aspen leaf - giving the logo a cattle brand feel - a nod to the groom who is from Texas.  Ghega also hand cut each leather tie from a large deer skin. 

©Jane Farr Calligraphy & Design LLC

The self-mailer style invitations will be slipped into clear, protective sleeves before the postage is added.

©Jane Farr Calligraphy & Design LLC

Guests will untie and unfold the invitation as they would a special gift.

Above is the entire wedding invitation suite.

©Jane Farr Calligraphy & Design LLC

The calligraphy was custom designed and not one of my regular design styles.  I did the lettering before the invitations were folded. The buckskin colored ink worked perfectly with the leather tie. 

©Jane Farr Calligraphy & Design LLC

Guests that were also invited to the rehearsal dinner received a different invitation, so it was important to keep the guest lists organized.

In addition to a mountain themed wedding, these invitations would work well for any country or western themed wedding.
