Loved chatting with Amber Harrison of Wedding Paper Divas on a New episode of Small Talk Big Day!

I shared some of my favorite calligraphy tips. Take a look!

I am thrilled to share images from Engage!13: The Biltmore Estate, the latest Engaging Concepts luxury wedding summit.

Rebecca Grinnals and Kathryn Arce are the masterminds behind these fabulous events and working with them is always a wonderful experience.

I was honored when they asked me to create the lettering for the logo and branding. Collaborating with their top notch design team was a delight. Seeing my work beautifully integrated into the luxury experience of Engage and the Biltmore awed me. The craft and attention to detail was magical.

The fabulous designers I worked with included Heather Arak and Susan Turnock from Gifts for the Good Life, Nathan Kanofsky from Arak Kanofsky, Trisha Hay, Kristy Rice from Momental Designs, Vanessa Kreckel from Two Paper Dolls and Ross Tanner from Flosites.  Love you all!

Here’s a look at some of the hand lettering with images of the beautiful signage and swag that it appeared on.

Working closely with Heather Arak, I created the icons below that showcase the Engage “E” woven into a lattice design that evokes the Vanderbilt monogram used throughout The Biltmore Estate.

Seeing the Biltmore House lit up with the icon for the Gala festivities took my breath away!  Heather tweeted the Biltmore House image below with the hashtag ‘careerhighlight’ and I couldn’t agree more!  The ice sculpture is mighty cool too!

My good friend Cassandre Snyder posted an in-depth look at this amazing event here complete with more gorgeous images.

A huge thank you to The Biltmore Estate and to the amazing photography team- Allan Zepeda, Carla Ten Eyck, Jeremie Barlow and Andrew Henderson for the gorgeous photos.

Last week I had the great pleasure to create table stationery for a holiday event at Tiffany & Co. in New York . Silver calligraphy was used throughout and added sparkle to the elegant white-on-white setting.   Since I was on site to take care of last minute calligraphy needs, I was able to take a few photos.  Here are some details for inspiration!

The tables were named for gemstones with the table signs lettered in silver

I’ve been following Sage Wedding Pros for quite some time, always appreciating the great business advice and resources they offer. I was thrilled to finally meet founder, Michelle Loretta and Kelly Simants in New York last spring at The Simple Plan, a 2-day workshop they crafted that’s full of ideas for business planning, specifically tailored for wedding professionals. It was a great experience for me to not only focus on my business, but to connect with the great group of wedding professionals that attended!

Thanks Michelle and Kelly!  I am honored to be included in your Insider to Insider series.   Read the full interview here
