Betsy Dunlap is so very talented.  Her calligraphy is the perfect complement to the contemporary invitation suite.

For the whimsical brides, Love Jenna creates a script that is playful, fun, and looks amazing in white on black.

For the traditionalists (like me), there is Elizabeth Porcher Jones.  Based in Charleston, South Carolina, Elizabeth is one of the most wonderful calligraphers.  I had the pleasure of working with her on my own wedding.  She is professional, timely, and thorough.  And her writing, well, just take a look… I can’t get enough of it.
