Who knew pens could be sexy?!

A slight pooling of ink. The harsh sound of metal passing along a crisp piece of paper. Lines becoming patterns becoming pictures becoming words!

Check out this amazing video sent to me by the amazing Josh Freeman! I agree with some of the viewers on this, that is one sexy pen!

What's hot in fonts - Weddings

To find some inspiration, I went searching for popular wedding fonts. Surprisingly, my amazing "font scout" already challenged me to learn a few of them. In fact, my first clients Leah and Lorraine chose one as the font for their wedding envelopes. 

The selection below shows a range of classical to modern to whimsical. All are unique in their own way, just like each couple planning their wedding. 

Which one is your favorite?

Bickham Script Pro

Feel Script

Chopin

Champignon

English

Freebooter Script

Scriptina

Adios Script

The pen is mightier than the sword

What a truly inspiring story!! A testament to strength, courage, and never letting anything prevent you from doing what you love!

Another Look

Thanks to the lovely brides, here is another look at the place cards for the Esturas-Pierson Wedding. 

Leah and Lorraine found old keys which they used to embellish their lovely, handmade place cards. The teal, pearl, and gold color palette made for the perfect blend of elegant and modern. 

The Esturas-Pierson Wedding

I was incredibly fortunate enough to have Leah Pierson and Lorraine Esturas as my first Fontly Yours clients. In fact, they are a main reason that Fontly Yours exists at all! They were brave and kind enough to allow me to address their wedding envelopes for them.

As it got closer to the date of the event, they also asked me to write the placecards for their guests. These beautiful cards were hand-cut and the lace doilies were hand-glued by the brides onto each card! In the end, I think I got off quite easy by just writing the names!

I'll never be able to repay these lovely ladies for allowing me to be a part of their special day.

To see more of their beautiful wedding in Vermont, read this lovely article, which mentions Fontly Yours!

Learn it. Master it. Font it.

A friend of mine, my "Font Scout" as she calls herself, challenged me to learn new fonts and practice. She called this challenge "Learn it. Master it. Font it." 


I've taken on her challenge with open arms! Here are some samples of what I've 'fonted'.
