Box of Angelic Proportions

I recently designed this option for a potential client and just had to share as it is such a cute idea! By using a box, decorating the outside and adding three dimensional elements on the inside, this becomes a real show-stopper.

This particular bride will be taking her fiancé’s last name of “Angel”. To play up on that, I designed different wings and used a really beautiful saying about Angels: We are each of us angels with only one wing, and we can only fly by embracing one… Continue

Calligraphy? Yes! You can afford it at only $1 per envelope! Plus other calligraphy questions answered....

Hi there Tweet Brides,

You may have thought you couldn't afford calligraphy for your wedding, but I believe you can. I have discovered after questioning several brides, that many don't even check into calligraphy, because they think it's something that is very overpriced and unnecessary. While other brides decide it's simply something they won't do without and knew they wanted their envelopes addressed in calligraphy from the beginning. Even in this economy, my business is booming with… Continue
