NEW SANTA BARBARA CALLIGRAPHY MAP

I designed this calligraphy map for Mellisa and Justin. A couple of New Yorkers, they are getting married in Santa Barbara this summer and wanted something fun for their Save-the-Dates that highlighted all of the inviting attributes the town has to offer guests from across the country. I'm lucky I already live here!

NEW CALLIGRAPHY PIECES

I love calligraphy. It brings out the crafty side of me, getting to play with ink and color and beautiful paper. So today, I thought I'd share some of the pieces I've been working.

REAL WEDDING: ROCKWOOD III

Kristen and Elaine were so cute on the day of the wedding. Neither could wait to see the ballroom ... All the planning and brainstorming, all the details ... Their imagination did not prepare them for the fabulous-ness of what came to fruition. It was awe-some!

Aren't they adorable with their sneaky-peak during cocktail hour???








The flowergirl was precious as she cut in on the Father/Daughter dance. Bride and Dad were super accommodating and happy to share the spotlight.

The bride danced an incredible Irish jig with her bridesmaids - way tippie-toes! Very cool!







Another huge THANK YOU to the uber-professional and fabulous vendors. It was spectacular. And BIG thank you and kudos to Mary Jane for sharing the amazing pics.

REAL WEDDING: ROCKWOOD I

I loved Kristen and her mom, Elaine, from the moment I first met them. They had a very clear vision of tradition and elegance for Kristen's marriage to Brett. The result was hundreds of small details that made the day completely personal and uniquely theirs. There was style and there was joy - lots and lots of joy. But don't take my word for it ... you'll see in the photos (especially when we get to the reception and the dancing!). And speaking of photos ... Oh my, Mary Jane did it again. Breathtaking!













There is so much more to share with you from this fabulous wedding! Come back tomorrow for the Ceremony and some gorgeous portraits of the couple. In the meantime, I must give ample and due credit to the outstanding group of vendors:
