Invitations and Calligraphy

Yonder Design

HTTP://WWW.YONDEREVENTS.COM/

If it can be imagined, Julie and Chris can do it. Fully custom letterpress, foil, lazer etching, printing on fabric, large scale painted signage... They are a one stop shop for invitations through the menus, place cards, signage, programs. They are coming up with some of the coolest and most creative stuff I've seen. 

Janis Anzalone

Bay Area calligrapher Janis Anzalone does cool stuff. Her  style is a little wild, but has a sophisticated and  effortless feel to it. I will keep your invitation - envelope and everything - forever if you use Janis. 

Tara Jones Calligraphy

http://tarajones.com/

Artful modern calligraphy by Tara Jones. I can spot her work in a line up of thousands of calligraphers. Her flourishes and distinct styles are memorable and the perfect compliment to rustic elegant outdoor weddings or city black tie events. 

Stephanie Fishwick

Fine art calligraphy and hand lettering. Stephanie's work is magical. So magical, Muggles can't understand the wizardry that is happening right in front of their own eyes. Her calligraphy has  a bit of grit and emotion in each stroke of the pen - a soulfulness like jazz music on a rainy night. 

Aerialist Press

 HTTP://THEAERIALISTPRESS.COM/

Letterpress paper goods and graphic design for your wedding. Deep impressions on that buttery cotton paper that will pretty much force people to RSVP yes. I mean, how could you turn down a wedding when the invite has pillows so soft you could sleep on them. *printers joke* Seriously though, this stuff melts me.
