Now that we are officially into 2025 and preparing for the year ahead, I can’t help but reflect on all the amazing weddings I had the honor of being part of over 2024.. From heartfelt vows to jaw-dropping decor, each celebration reminded me why I love what I do.This year was brimming with creativity, collaboration, and the joy of helping couples bring their visions to life.
The Highlights of 2024
This year was packed with calligraphy projects that pushed my creativity to new heights. Here are some of the biggest takeaways:
Mirror Rentals Galore: Mirrors are always a timeless choice for wedding signage, and I saw no shortage of them! From elegant welcome signs to chic seating charts, my collection of rental mirrors made appearances at so many incredible weddings. Each one was tailored to the couple’s unique style and venue.
Two Custom Large-Scale Displays: This year, I was thrilled to take on two major custom projects—large-scale displays that truly stole the show. One was a vibrant seating chart painted on an oversized acrylic panel, complete with floral accents that matched the wedding’s decor. The other? A stunning installation of hanging scrolls, each featuring hand-lettered names and table assignments that created a dreamy, floating effect.
Place Cards: Small Details, Big Impact
If there’s one thing 2024 taught me, it’s that place cards can be as diverse and creative as the couples themselves! This year, I worked on:
Classic Tented Place Cards: Sometimes simplicity speaks volumes. Crisp calligraphy on tented cards was a staple for many weddings, offering elegance and clarity.
Scrolled Paper Place Cards: For a touch of romance, I created rolled parchment place cards with classic gold calligraphy.. These were perfect for vintage-inspired weddings.
Painted Oyster Shells: A true standout this year was hand-painted oyster shells used as place cards. These little works of art added a coastal charm to waterfront weddings and doubled as keepsakes for guests.
A Year of Gratitude
Looking back, I’m filled with gratitude for the couples who trusted me to add a personal touch to their special day. Each project was a collaboration that pushed me to think creatively and execute with precision. I also owe a huge thank-you to the amazing venues, planners, and photographers I worked alongside this year. To all the couples I had the pleasure of working with in 2024: Thank you for letting me be a small part of your big day. Your love stories inspire everything I do.
Love,
