CALLIGRAPHY STYLES AND HAND DRAWN FONTS FOR EVERY WEDDING AESTHETIC

Calligraphy is a stylish addition to any wedding stationery, but not all calligraphy is created equally! Just like wedding dresses or floral arrangements, there are many different styles to choose from, to suit the aesthetic and style of your wedding day. Here’s my guide to choosing a calligraphy style that matches your unique wedding aesthetic.

Whimiscal Hand Drawn Fonts

Perfect for a modern vibe wedding day and suits all colour palettes. I'm loving the whimsy font combined with shaped stationery for a modern and fun look.

A wavy edge together with the whimsy font looks fab too. I designed this pink beauty of a wedding menu with a pale pink striped background, alongside the pink whimsy calligraphy and wavy edges.

Classic Calligraphy Style

For a classic and timeless style, traditional calligraphy is so elegant, shown here paired with letterpress printing for a luxe finish. This couple opted for a bespoke design, including a watercolour venue illustration within the envelope liner for their gorgeous South of France wedding. You can read all the details of their big day here.

Hand Written Calligraphy 

For truly bespoke wedding stationery, hand written calligraphy is your best option. Shown here on the Deckle wedding stationery collection, where calligraphy is paired with deckle edged paper for a truly handmade finish.

Calligraphy Place Names

No matter what your wedding day aesthetic and colour palette is, personalised place names in hand drawn calligraphy always look stylish. With each place name individually written and a beautiful rainbow of metallic inks available for a luxe finish.

Monoline Hand Drawn Calligraphy

If you're seeking a minimalist vibe to your wedding stationery then my monoline hand written calligraphy is ideal. With a monoline calligraphy style, each stroke is the same thickness for a contemporary look. This style of calligraphy is shown in the Lowri wedding stationery collection in monochrome but each collection can be customised to your wedding colour palette.
