Wedding Invitations — Michael Fusco Design

I’m so glad that everyone loved Mike & Emma’s invitations as much as I did, but you may not know that they weren’t Mike’s first set of invitations. Mike is a talented graphic designer and runs an eponymous design studio called Michael Fusco Designs and I’m excited to share some of his other wedding invitation work with you today.

Calligraphy – Crystal Kluge

One more post for your reading enjoyment this afternoon!  I came across the fabulous work of calligrapher Crystal Kluge through a wedding featured yesterday on Hello!Lucky and just had to share more of her lovely work with you.

Isn’t her calligraphy just beautiful? I know calligraphy often isn’t a possibility given other wedding budget priorities, but I think even a small touch – on place cards for example – can bring an additional element of warmth and beauty to a wedding.

For additional examples of Crystal’s lovely work you should definitely check out her website and blog!

Happy Weekend!

Hi Everyone!  So, I’m going to try out a new feature – a weekly round-up of paper-related links.  I might make this a more frequent feature if folks find it useful, so please leave me a comment or send me an e-mail to let me know what you think.  Please also let me know if you see that I’ve missed something or have a link that you found useful.

First, I just want to send a huge “thank you!” to  Meg and Christine for their posts about Mike & Emma’s wedding invitations that I featured last week – and say a quick “welcome!” to any new readers who might have found me from A Practical Wedding or pretty.pretty.paper.

So, now to the round-up – here’s what was floating around this week:

That’s it for this week — have a great weekend!
