Lauren Covington calligraphy classic envelope liner foil gold hand-lettered metallic modern calligraphy save the dates stamp texas wedding wedding paper

kennedy & christopher's hand-lettered gold foil save the dates

Kennedy and Christopher were looking for classic Save the Dates with a little extra oomph. To give the cards a truly custom look, I mixed some hand-lettering with classic typography.  Gold is still king! We had the design hot foil-stamped onto a textured Italian paper and framed out with Stardream's antique gold, with a matching liner to boot. For custom, foil-stamped Save the Dates, contact Lauren at Charm & Fig.

megan & cody's glamorous gray + gold wedding invitations

Megan knew right off the bat she wanted charcoal gray and gold to be the main focus of her wedding invitations. I happily obliged, as it's one of my personal favorite neutral color combinations. The wedding itself would romantic and rustic, so we used  Debi Sementelli's flirty Cantoni script to reflect that theme.  We brightened up the suite with a rose patterned envelope liner printed on Neenah's Stardream paper.  For custom wedding invitations, contact Charm & Fig.

So you just got engaged... congratulations! Up next is a whirlwind of excitement, parties, and possibly stress as you plan a huge celebration of your commitment to love.

Ok, so we can’t choose our family, but we can choose the majority of the bridal party. It’s time to round up the most awesome group ever! If there’s a close friend who brings the drama, maybe he or she shouldn’t have a huge role on your wedding day....

new & shiny - thank you gold foil note card set

Lauren Covington calligraphy foil thank you notes gold foil hand letter thank you thank you notes wedding stationery

I wanted to refresh my personal stash of thank you notes again. Check out last year's set here. So, naturally I decided to turn it into a product for the shop! I played around with the Tombow pen brush again, just doing an exaggeration of my own handwriting and then thickening the downstrokes. For me, the key to coming out with good letters is to not overthinking perfection too much. I am really happy how they turned out, chinky, playful and a little polished with the pretty satin gold foil. Just for kicks, I had some special edition cards made with some...

stephanie & sam's gold moose bar harbor, maine wedding invitations

Lauren Covington blue calligraphy custom save the date gold foil kraft maine moose nautical post card save the date vintage statmps wedding paper weddings

This bride was a dream client! An event planner, based in NYC, she had a good idea of what she wanted. Pretty, nautical-inspired invitations with a Maine moose sprinkled about. The moose is the magical beast of Maine's wildlife, and pretty close pronunciation of her new last name. How could we not? For the design, I embraced the geometrics of nautical flags throughout, steering clear of overdone anchors for a subtle nautical vibe. For the color palette, we started with crisp whites, and then sprinkled in sun-bleached ocean hues, kraft paper and touches of gold. Everything was bundled in kraft folder...
