I think this might be one of my favourite ways to ensure that you're sending the best wedding card ever! I absolutely love this idea for those really special events- I'm talking about your son or daughter's wedding, a grandchild's Christening or the birth of your first child.
I was contacted a while back by a calligrapher who had been commissioned to write a passage inside one of our cards for a very special Christening. She sent me these stunning photographs of the finished card, and, I think we can all agree, her work has improved the card infinitely.
So what is calligraphy, exactly?
Calligraphy is, in simple terms, the art of creating beautiful handwriting. The term is believed to derive from the Greek words for “beauty” (kallos) and “to write” (graphein). And looking at these images, you can certainly see why!
Western calligraphy can be split into two categories- Traditional and Modern.
Traditional calligraphy follows some very specific rules around proportions of letters and even writing your letters in black ink, on a straight baseline and at a specific angle (55 degrees, to be exact!)
