Commissioning Calligraphy
For anniversaries, wedding gifts, proposals, birthdays, and more…
Fine art calligraphy commissions that will last lifetimes! I take great care in creating these pieces to be heirloom quality and a fitting celebration of your thoughtful words. I offer several styles and options like custom illustrations to enhance your project.
Custom Love Letters
Give the gift of a handwritten, heartfelt letter to someone you love: great for marriage proposals and wedding day gifts, anniversaries, and letters to a parent, child, or friend.
Calligraphy love letters start at $100 and go up in price depending on length; you can order one through my shop.
All love letters come with an envelope with the recipient’s name written on it, sealed with a red heart wax seal. There is also an add-on option to use antique paper that I have sourced from estate sales.
Custom Wedding Vows
Celebrate your marriage (or a friend’s!) with frame-worthy custom wedding vows, handwritten in beautiful script. These are highly customizable in nature and make great gifts for anniversaries.
Custom calligraphy wedding vows start at $1.00 per word + $100 setup/design fee for standard options; setup/layout fee increases based on complexity and size of the design.
Some optional design details: added illustrations; stars and constellations; extra flourishing; custom ink colors and paper colors; special formatting, and more.
