Stationery
There's just something about putting a pen to paper --
especially when you leave it to the pros. Calligraphers can turn vows
into treasured keepsakes, distinguish your stationery, and embellish
everything including favors and the food at your reception. Here are
beautiful ways to weave in the art of the written word.
Wedding Vows
They might just be the most important words you ever
say to each other. To turn those heartfelt sentiments into heirlooms,
have a calligrapher write them on monogrammed paper. Read them during
the ceremony, then display them at home. On this page, Flourished Spencerian
script by Michael Sull of the Lettering Design Group is finished with
an offhand flourish (calligrapher-speak for an ink drawing) of a bird.
The stationery is by Cartier (special order at Cartier boutiques).

Escort Cards
Go with hand-lettered names and table numbers to guide guests to their seats in style.
Wedding Favors
Call on a professional to adorn the goodies you'll give
your guests. Monograms drawn or printed on favor bags, tags for your
bridesmaids' gifts ... a well-placed calligraphic element can take your
celebration to the next level.
Wedding Desserts
When topped off with an intricate monogram, sweet treats are both branded and beautiful.
Seating Display
Display calligraphic names, grouped according to table,
in frames that form a blueprint of the reception. The effect is
altogether showstopping.
Wedding Cake
This suite of sweets features a graphic
calligraphy-style motif and words from the classic wedding vows. The
designs are incorporated into white-chocolate panels using plastic
transfer sheets printed with tinted cocoa butter.
Bridesmaid Gifts
Custom rubber stamps, each bearing a bridesmaid's name
in elegant script, let you -- and your attendants -- make a good
impression. Ask a calligrapher to pen the women's names, then have a
specialty vendor or office-supply store turn them into rubber stamps.
Use the stamps to imprint names on pretty box tops; place stamps inside
with ink pads nestled in tissue paper.
