It’s gorgeous and a must for your invitations…any invitations really. The art and patience of good calligraphy is mesmerizing and inspiring. Check out these two videos. The first is really a script font but captures the flowy delicate spirit of calligraphy and the second is the doodling and the process of a calligrapher. It’s so easy to get lost in the elegant and seemingly effortless strokes.

The wedding of two of my dearest friends Jen and Dave. Jen is a graphic designer and Dave, a product designer – an incredibly creative couple so there was no question this would be a well designed wedding. The scene was an ideal outdoor ceremony under huge trees at the perfectly, quaint Mercury Hall in Austin with lots of REALLY well done DIYs (including delicious wine made by the bride’s dad), amazing food catered by Whole Foods and the best favor ever — a dish towel that read “there is perhaps no better way to judge how well you’ll live the year. The dirtier it gets, the better you’ve done.”
