Hey lovely blog readers! Didn’t the summer just fly by? I am happily settling into plans for autumn and looking forward to teaching FOUR modern calligraphy workshops in the coming months. Tickets are still available and I’d love to see you there!

Upcoming dates for my beginners calligraphy workshops are –

If you fancy getting your craft on, come and join me! You’ll learn a wonderful skill (which you can use for your wedding!) and have a lovely relaxing day out. And every workshop is perfect for absolute beginners!

Hey beautiful! I have something special for you today – a very special saving on luxury, calligraphy wedding invitations and on the day stationery. These are some of my favourite wedding invitations and the bundle is listed on Etsy from £300.

Prepare to be wowed by some of the most luxurious contemporary wedding invitations you’ll see this year. Incorporating stunning and on-trend velvets and acrylics, Polina Perri have launched these spectacular new collections for the modern bride and groom. The timeless, elegant calligraphy fonts and pristine printing work beautifully alongside innovative, sought after finishes: the acrylic is chic and somehow delicate-looking, while the velvet is tantalisingly tactile.
