We offer custom calligraphy in a variety of script styles and on a wide variety of surfaces. From traditional envelope calligraphy to mirror signage to place cards, certificates and more, we have experience in creating large and small pieces in calligraphy as well as live event calligraphy.
Please take a moment to see some of our work and then let us know how we can help you!
Our handwritten calligraphy is done with a traditional dip pen and ink on paper. This process takes time and is popular for weddings and corporate events and gifts. The pen is dipped into ink and words and names carefully written on the page or envelope to create a beautiful one of a kind piece every time. Calligraphy looks beautiful for wedding vows as well as individually addressed envelopes and place cards. We are happy to fill in certificates and other documents you might need completed. You will notice the beauty of handwritten calligraphy in the small nuances and variations that come from creating a completely custom experience for each work.
Calligraphy can be written in traditional black on white or ecru as well as metallic gold and custom matched colors for your invitations. White and custom colors are available for calligraphy on colored and dark envelopes and papers as well.
Please contact us for a copy of our Calligraphy style guide and for more information about specific details.
For surfaces other than paper, we offer paint based and hand engraved calligraphy. Our handwritten calligraphy for unconventional surfaces is done using strong and archival paint materials. Many surfaces can be used for a calligraphy base, including mirrors, glass, stone, marble, notebook covers and more. Engraved and painted calligraphy can be perfect for signage, mirror charts, events, glass bottles, brand activations and more.
Our calligraphy is available in several script variations shown in the chart below. For smaller scale text (1 inch or smaller in height on mirrors and other surfaces) we offer a simpler monoline variation of all of our scripts to allow for ease of legibility. Script calligraphy is our specialty.
For mirrors and reflective surfaces white ink is used to maintain legibility. Other colors are available on an as-needed basis and will be discussed based on project details.

Below you will see the calligraphy styles that I offer currently. You can take a moment to review them and choose a style that fits your event or project.
Note that there are five styles with three variations each: Flourished, Dip Pen and Monoline. Each style is on presented with all three variations from most ornate to least ornate. The flourished versions are in the higher price range for calligraphy, while the monoline versions are on the lower end of the price range.
Both Flourished and Dip Pen styles are created by dipping a traditional pen nib into ink and then writing by hand with the pen, which creates thick and thin line variations. These dip pen styles are available in a multitude of colors and can be matched to invitations. The Monoline styles are created using a gel or felt marker and are available in black. Other color variations can be created using the dip pen method in this style, but there is a cost increase.
