I’ve got Halloween on the brain, so I’m taking today’s wedding stationery inspiration a little to the dark side with white on black paper goods.  I absolutely love how calligraphy pops when written on a dark background, and it give off the utmost sophisticated vibe used on menus, escort cards and the like.  With such a striking contest, few other details or embellishments are needed! — Kelly
