Wedding CalligraphyCalligraphy
Written By Molly Suber Thorpe

This was surely one of the most beautiful projects I’ve worked on to date—an invitation suite that was in the works for a full nine months. The design of the stationery suite was done by the bride herself, Kate Allen. I provided Kate with the digitized calligraphy files and she utilized them in such creative and beautiful ways.

Photographs can’t do this invitation suite justice. None can capture all the tiny details, let alone the experience of opening that outer envelope and pulling out each gorgeous item, one after another. Each double-thick letterpressed piece was double-sided and printed with navy ink, gold foil and small touches of coral. The three envelopes were lined with custom liners of coral, teal, navy and gold stripes, with a tiny xoxo foiled on each one.
