I have been on a calligraphy break for most of 2021 (#selfcare!) except for one major commission for a lovely A. Taylor Studio bride, Ashley. Her romantic garden wedding from October included many gold mirrors, of all sizes, for signage.

It has been a slow summer for calligraphy, so I was thrilled with my most recent commission. Marble tile place cards have a special spot in my heart. There is SO much prep work that goes into them, and some textures are just a struggle.

When I was approached about doing my first seating chart, I knew that I would be challenged because it was a first. Having designed wedding welcome signs for years now, I knew that my first seating chart would ideally be on a mirror. And this mirror was certainly so, so special - it was an heirloom, a piece belonging to the grandmother of the bride. I felt so honored that I was entrusted with this treasure. I was so happy with how it turned out, and I learned a lot about how to properly envision and plan for a seating chart.
