Calligraphy and styling ideas for winter weddings
Good morning! I hope you’ve had the most wonderful weekend. Today I just can’t resist sharing some of the beautiful images lovely Zehra Jagani sent to me a day or two ago. These are from a wedding inspiration shoot which I supplied calligraphy for. The shoot was published on Brides Up North over the summer.
The epic shoot these came from had a Provençal flavour, with dreamy eucalyptus and soft blues and greys – and florals to die for! I love the colours of the calligraphy for a winter wedding though: the soft tones and delicate papers work beautifully for a modern wedding in the colder half of the year.
The handwritten menus on acrylic work beautifully placed over eucalyptus – and that little berry peeking from underneath is a sweet touch for a more autumnal wedding. These can have names added to double up as place names / menus. Contact me for details!
Calligraphy in white on a soft grey paper makes for beautiful little signs – I’m often asked to write paper signs for guest books, sweet tables and little display areas. They can also serve as place name cards – or you could use the paler style shown below, which are a super pale blue-grey with a slightly darker ink for names. The calligraphy is written in an organic style, perfect for a fine art wedding.
I can only give you the tiniest sneak peek of the table styling today: but I simply had to show you the subtle colours, the candle colour and the arrangements of eucalpytus and wax flowers forming low centrepieces – it’s a really beautiful look. This was all styled by Sadauf at The Wedding Fairy – she’s incredibly talented and her floral arrangements blow me away!
The shoot took place in Cheshire, at beautiful Delamere Manor. Please do check out the full feature on Brides Up North wedding blog – https://bridesupnorth.com/2019/06/11/provencal-decadence-a-sophisticated-styled-shoot-at-delamere-manor

Really like the idea of the clear plastic with the leaves behind it. Would look great with dried flowers as well.
