Calligraphy Wedding Vows Completed

I do calligraphy personalized art gifts mostly for happy occasions: weddings, anniversary gifts, birthday and other occasions. However, on occasion I do write a memorial, and that can be sad.

Satisfied clients who write back to me when they open their package are among my highest rewards. I can feel myself smiling upon reading the lovely, heartfelt notes. I feel like I'm part of the happiness of the occasion; and maybe I'm building "good karma"!

I was so pleased to get this happy email this morning:
Hi Lianda, I just got the piece and am thrilled with it!  Thanks so much!!


Here's the completed calligraphy piece where you saw the layout in the previous post. I hope you like it!

The design was inspired by the couple's wedding invitation and theme. Although the birds weren't in the original invitation, they are both bird watchers, and Whitney asked to add them to the piece. I think it worked out nicely. Custom calligraphy and artwork can make the piece original and special just for you. 

December is coming up quickly! Don't be late ordering your Christmas and Hanukah gifts!

Christmas Holiday Orders for Calligraphy Gifts

Starting in November, people start thinking about Christmas and holiday gifts. The holidays are times when people really put a lot of thought into getting a really special unique gift for the people they love. Sometimes you can feel overwhelmed with the focus on BUY, BUY, BUY. But if not else reflects the philosophy of the birth of Jesus during this over-commercialized holiday season, thinking about another person's preferences is pure, imo.

Gift giving, SHOULD be about buying, making, giving something that your RECIPIENT will appreciate. It's not about what your preferences are - the colors you like, the type of quote YOU think is great, the style of the artwork; this time is about thinking about them!

So, how do you do that? You think about what their home looks like; the colors there; the colors they wear.  Does the person tend to be more conservative, or contemporary in their attitudes. What kind of books do they read; what are the kind of movies they watch, what's their favorite song? Are they more sentimental; or less emotional, more down to business?  Do they enjoy humor, or are they more serious?

With regards to calligraphy, there are so many sites where you can find quotes, have poems written about the person, find inspirational words. Or if you are really great friends and have wonderful photographs of you and your friend, you might consider having them incorporated into a mat with a quote about friendship.  If you are making this purchase for the person you love, there are so many romantic love poems and quotes available!

Now there are terrific options to have these choices digitally printed on a variety of different items from mouse pads, coffee cups, calendars, T shirts and other items to the traditional framed item for your wall or desk.

So, think about what your loved one will like - and if YOU are interested in some unique calligraphy quote, start dropping hints!  Christmas and the holiday season are just around the corner!
