Calligraphy Inspiration: The Weekend Type

I hope you’re ready for some amazing calligraphy inspiration! This month’s calligrapher of note is the lovely Korie Lynn Herold of  The Weekend Type. Not only is she doing great work behind the camera as a talented wedding photographer, she’s providing beautiful work for the camera as a calligrapher. Her portfolio is a stunner – filled with hand-lettered goodies for you to feast your eyes on. – Julie

This message in a bottle invitation definitely works much better with lovely calligraphy rather than something overly kitsch to play on the theme.

Lesley + Brian’s Street Map Wedding Invitations

These modern wedding invitations are the result of a fun collaboration between Kseniya of Thomas-Printers and Mike from Anticipate Invitations – and happen to feature my home town of Washington, DC! With the wedding location as the primary inspiration, the design features a street map background behind the main text and hand lettering for the bride and groom’s names. Beautiful!

From Kseniya and Mike: The inspiration behind Lesley and Brian’s letterpress wedding invitation was a street map of the wedding’s location in Washington, DC. Dupont Circle was chosen as the central focus and the abstract lines of the streets were printed blind (without ink) behind the main text on Crane’s Lettra 220# in Bright White. The couple’s names were hand lettered and printed in a punchy orange ink to compliment the warm gray; the rehearsal dinner card and response card followed suit.

Bohemian Botanical Wedding Invitations

My oh my, I have completely fallen for the newest addition to the Lucky Luxe wedding invitation collection! These bohemian invitations combine watercolor hand lettering with a typewriter font and antique floral engravings – perfect for an understated nature-inspired wedding. Love!

Bohemian-Botanical-Hand-Lettered-Wedding-Invitations-Lucky-Luxe-Couture-Correspondence-OSBP

From Erin: Flora was created to be a reflection of that couple tied to the land and their love — not tied to the standards of wedding paper formality. The script for the suite is painted by hand in watercolor, and all the fine text is an understated typeface taken from our old Remington typewriter. The invitations are then flat printed on 100% cotton Lettra paper, allowing for a layering of color and gradients.

The lettering choices, layered with colorful antique engravings from Furber’s Twelve Months of Flowers published in 1730, create a composite that’s altogether modern, bohemian, and nostalgic. We’re thinking of Flora as the new flower child among her sisters in the Lucky Luxe wedding collection.

Happy Weekend!

Happy Halloween weekend everyone! Today is the annual Halloween parade at Sophie’s daycare – and if you haven’t ever seen dozens of babies and toddlers in full costume all in the same place, well, it’s pretty much the cutest thing ever. This year, Sophie will be rocking a homemade costume of sorts: she’ll be a snail, which is just about the extent of my limits with a newborn at home. We don’t get many trick-or-treaters on our street, so we’ll be hanging out with friends and their adorable daughter tonight to help them pass out candy. Best of both worlds! But in the meantime…
