Great News... Calligraphy Services!!!

So I was contacted by another Etsy seller a few weeks back who offers calligraphy services. Her business name is DPaulette and she does amazing work, for amazing prices, and she is located right her in Washington DC!! So now not only do I HAVE the option for my clients to retain calligraphy, but it is beautiful calligraphy at that! Another great thing is that she has offered my clients a 10% discount when you order your invitations from mwah!! Just take a look at her beautiful styles below...




She also does this beautiful Quaker Style Marriage Certificate

This Quaker Stle Marriage Certificate Certificate is beautiful enough to be framed. The certificate is hand calligraphy and hand illustrated.

It is shown on a 15" x 25" paper, but she can create a certificate on any size paper. The bride and groom sign the certificate and there is room for the signatures of 75 guests. She can customize the certificate for colors, number of guest, names and vows.

She also offers custom made rubber stamps and monogram designs.

I am so pleased that she has gotten in contact with me, and cannot wait to use her services for both my clients, as well as for my own wedding coming up next year!!

For Tricia

These are a few of the different designs I designed for a bride to be named Tricia











MY damask drink umbrellas

I finally bit the bullet and started the damask umbrellas. Let me tell you pain in the arse. i just listed them in my etsy shop, and man they are time consuming. But hey what a bride wants, a bride gets!!


A few other designs for Sonya

One of my fave clients, Sonya... was planning on having me do her wedding invitations. However, she is going through some tough times right now and has to reschedule her wedding. Prior to the sad news, I came up with a new design to work within her then shrinking budget. I really hope her and her hubby to be can work something out so they will be able to join in matrimony soon. Sonya is such a wonderful person, who deserves to have the wedding of her dreams, and I hope one day very soon they can make it happen.






Ceremony Programs for Ashley and Sean's Wedding

Here are the two designs I came up with for one of my favorite clients, Ashley. She chose the dark one instead of the white. On the inside on the pink is where her program wording will go.





Patricia's Shower Invitations








Man, this girl really is crafty!! She new exactly what she wanted based off of my Heather design, and I love how she picked out the insert in a lime green. The insert is registry information and so creative. I love her idea of a co-ed bridal shower "date party". I can't wait until she lets me in on the details and how it went. Patricia was a doll and great to work with!!!

Bridal Chamber and Groom Suite Signs







I have now sold three of these. I got the idea from a wonderful bride to be, Sonya... and I just love them. I hope to sell many more!
