Wednesday Writes — it’s full of papery goodness

Damn it! Blog­gers have rules: every Mon­day you do this, every Wednes­day you do that… and the good blog­gers play by the rules and get a buzz going every week. Guess who’s a bad wed­ding blog­ger? Haha.

So, after a break of — um — a cou­ple of weeks? I bring you another fab­u­lously papery let­tery blog post with wed­ding sta­tionery, cal­lig­ra­phy, graphic design and type. I hope it inspires you — I hope you enjoy today’s papery goodness.

I found this gor­geous wed­ding on Style Me Pretty — lots of let­tery details and this pic­ture of the old velvet-lined suit­case with pegged cards say­ing C-A-R-D-S for you to pop cards inside… well it makes me gig­gle, it’s so cute! Photo by www.ourlaboroflovebyheidi.com

Gor­geous paper bags and cal­lig­ra­phy from Before the Big Day wed­ding blog

With a lit­tle imag­i­na­tion, you can make paper bags one of the most excit­ing details for your wed­ding tables, favours, place set­tings… and I LOVE the cal­lig­ra­phy on the one in the top mid­dle. This inspi­ra­tion and more from Before the Big Day UK wed­ding blog.

Pick Your Seat — wed­ding table signs found on Junk Shop Bride blog

Imag­i­na­tive direc­tions for wed­ding guests — and pretty hard to miss! Found at Junk Shop Bride this week.

I have a vested inter­est in wed­ding read­ings, and like Ais­ling and Anna from Any Other Wed­ding I’ve seen some great ones and some lesser wed­ding read­ings, shall we say! It all comes down to the speaker, and Ais­ling and Anna have writ­ten the defin­i­tive guide to read­ing at a wed­ding for you — full of bril­liant advice. (I know I’m sup­posed to be blog­ging Wednes­day Writes, but reading’s much the same thing…)

This is a bit dif­fer­ent, and I love the cal­lig­ra­phy — with bold, swirly hand­writ­ing you could cre­ate the same effect: wed­ding sig­nage in a fab cal­lig­ra­phy style! This is from A Lucky Orchid Wed­ding blog.

Art­ca­dia and Denise Hagon Calligraphy

Oooooh this makes me jeal­ous! But Denise Hagon’s cal­lig­ra­phy is fab­u­lous: curvy, sculpted and excit­ing. Art­ca­dia let­ter­press sta­tion­ers worked with Denise to cre­ate this new cal­lig­ra­phy Save the Date design.

I tried to make paper flow­ers the other day and if I learned one thing it was to find exam­ples and instruc­tions first! Guess­ing didn’t work! Dis­cover Paper blog to the res­cue… If you peer at these beau­ti­ful paper flower cre­ations I think you’ll maybe fig­ure out how to make them — fab paper roses for your wed­ding.

That’s this week’s Wednes­day Writes for you — I hope you like. I already have some more papery, cal­lig­ra­phy treats lined up for you, so maybe next week I’ll be a good blog­ger and come back with more!

{it’s full of papery good­ness, and very small and neat… } if you’re old enough, whis­tle the rest!
