4 ways to elevate your wedding with calligraphy

When it comes to creating a wedding to remember, it’s often the little details that make the biggest impact - calligraphy is one of those dreamy touches. From the moment your guests receive their invitation to the final dance of the evening, calligraphy can weave luxury and personality into every part of your day. Read on to discover 4 meaningful ways to elevate your wedding with calligraphy, helping you create unforgettable details that reflect your love story and leave a lasting impression on your guests.

Beautiful invitations

Where will your guests find your wedding details? The invitations. This is where the experience begins, whether that be a Save the date or straight into full invites. A beautifully designed invite sets the precedence for the celebration to come, so pick your colour palette, theme, illustrations (if you have any) and any other aesthetic details before this point. Calligraphy can elevate your invites by adding the personalised touch that ready-made invites often lack, especially if dip pen and ink are used as it adds a texture that just can’t be replicated digitally! For those invites you’ll be posting, addressing your envelopes with hand written calligraphy is a sure way to add luxury and make your guests feel extra special.

A ’wow’ worthy welcome sign

There are multiple signage options you could include on the big day, but possibly one of the most popular and important is the welcome sign. Large-scale calligraphy is just as impressive as it’s smaller counterpart using ink and paper, often painted by hand or designed digitally (still by hand) and printed. The potential signage materials are endless; wood stained, painted wood, acrylic board, a mirror, fabric… and anything else creative you can think of. At Lavender Lane I welcome all ideas with open arms, however crazy they may seem!

Personalised place cards

Far more than just seating assignments, the personalisation that a place card provides creates a warm, inviting atmosphere that makes each guest feel truly seen and appreciated. Place cards become part of the table design, tying together your florals, linens, signs and overall theme with an added layer of luxury and personalisation. They also double as keepsakes, allowing guests to take home a meaningful reminder of your day. Written by hand in my personal calligraphic style means a bespoke design, unique to you.

Wedding vows to cherish forever

Your wedding vows are the backbone of the ceremony, meaning more to you and your partner than anything else. Why not have them immortalised on paper, hand written and illustrated timelessly whilst also matching the theme of the rest of the day – so you can remember it perfectly. Beyond the spoken moment, beautifully calligraphed vows become a timeless keepsake you can treasure for years to come. Whether framed or bound in a vow book, create a lasting heirloom that captures the heart of your wedding in a truly unforgettable way.
