Bride Blogger Update: Save the Dates!
I always say that a Save the Date really sets the tone for a wedding. It is the first peek into the design and celebration that guests get to see — and Marybeth’s is darling!

Last week I shared some of our great engagement photos and at the same time our save the dates were mailed to wedding guests. Now that our guests have gotten the first look at the save the dates, I wanted to share them with all of you.
Arney Walker Calligraphy
Those little thoughtful touches can make all of the difference on your big day! Why not start with beautifully calligraphed papergoods from Arney Walker? Her elegant script is absolutely breathtaking, and is definitely something your guests will notice. I am oogling over her work! Read on to learn more about Arney, one of my favs in town, and how she can glam up your event…
What is your background and how did you get into doing calligraphy?
When I was 13 I got a calligraphy book as a Christmas gift and it got me interested in lettering. After I had graduated from college, I was looking for a hobby that had a creative slant to it and I had a lot of friends getting married at the time, and thought calligraphy was a great option.
I took private lessons for a few years, then taught myself some other styles and fonts from books. I started taking classes again about two years ago and have done some weekend workshops through the local Calligrapher’s Guild and then some week long classes through IAMPETH, the International Association of Master Penman, Engrossers and Teachers of Handwriting.
