For me, my favorite part of the weekend was our spontaneous dance parties, my least favorite was the lack of sleep (which I really needed after the dance parties!). Now it’s your turn!! _ Photographer: @stephanieweberphotog Florals: @bloomtheorydesign Stationery: @Samallencreates Dress: @shopblushelegance HMUA: @mindfulbeautywitherika + @bellabaroc Accessories: @shopbexo Bride: @andiepopee . . . #samallencreates #handlettering #moderncalligraphy #modernscript #weddinginvitation #weddinginspiration #weddinginvitations #weddinginvites #weddinginspo #weddingideas #dailydoseofpaper #weddinginvites #shesaidyes #2019wedding #weddingcalligraphy #weddingplanning #weddingcalligrapher #weddingstationer #loveletters #letterlove #artofwriting #handmadepaper #orangecountywedding #stylemepretty #theknot #socalweddingphotographer #collectivelycreate #engagementphotos #engagedlife #flatlaystyle Not trying to rush him growing up, but we’re patiently waiting for him to grow a half an inch so we can take him on some big kid rides at Disneyland next week. Splash Mountain is my favorite ride and I’m beyond excited to finally have a ride buddy to go on it with me! What’s your favorite ride??

She was looking for a venue sketch of the entry gate, in all its Spanish moss splendor, to be used on the invitation. I knew it was going to be a challenge and definitely more detailed than any other venue sketch I had done yet so I got right to work—and while I usually create my drawings with putting ink to paper, for this amount of detail I instead experimented with different brushes on my iPad... it took no less than 3 full drawings to find the perfect brush that did the trick and gave the look I was hoping for. I'm glad I kept at it though because the final piece is one of my favorites of the whole year so far! Swipe through for some close ups and even a video!! Do you have any questions on my process?
