Calligraphy, Thoughtfully Woven In
Beautifully written details have a way of making a celebration feel personal. From elegant envelope calligraphy to custom artwork, monograms, and handwritten wedding day details, each piece is created by hand with intention and care.
Whether you’re beginning with a Lime & Lily invitation suite or looking for a beautiful finishing touch to stationery you’ve already selected, I create the details that make your celebration feel entirely your own.
The Art of the Handwritten Detail
Calligraphy can be a beautiful part of your invitation suite, a finishing touch on your wedding day, or an experience your guests remember long after the celebration.
Envelope Calligraphy
Give your invitation suite a beautifully personal first impression with hand-addressed envelopes, written in the calligraphy style and ink color that best complements your stationery.
Spot Calligraphy
Add handwritten details directly to your stationery—from invitation wording and names to menus, place cards, escort cards, and other paper goods.
Wedding Day Calligraphy
Carry your stationery story through to the celebration with handwritten place cards, escort cards, signage, table details, and more.
Live Event Calligraphy
Create an experience for your guests with on-site personalization, including calligraphy, engraving, and foiling. From cocktail-hour keepsakes to personalized gifts, each piece is created while your guests watch.
Beyond the Written Word
Some celebrations call for more than beautiful lettering. Original artwork brings another layer of personality to your stationery, creating a visual thread that can begin with your invitation and continue throughout the wedding.
From hand-painted venue illustrations and meaningful places to botanical details, custom motifs, and other personal elements, artwork is created specifically for your celebration and thoughtfully integrated into your stationery design.
A Signature Detail
A custom monogram or crest can become the visual signature of your wedding.
Designed around your initials, family story, and personal style, these meaningful details can be incorporated into your invitation suite and carried throughout your celebration—from envelopes and paper goods to napkins, signage, cups, favors, and beyond.
Created to be beautiful now and meaningful long after the wedding day, a custom crest is one of those details that can truly become part of your story.

Your Invitation is Just the Beginning
Calligraphy, artwork, monograms, and stationery details can be thoughtfully developed together so your wedding feels visually connected from the first envelope to the final celebration.
Whether you choose one signature detail or build a complete stationery experience with Lime & Lily, every element is considered as part of the larger story. At Lime & Lily, every custom suite combines original design, hand-lettered details, beautiful materials, and meticulous attention to every detail. And because the entire experience is handled in-house, you have one creative partner from concept through completion.

Frequently Asked Questions
Calligraphy can be used in so many ways to elevate your event. I understand that you probably have lots of questions. Find answers to some of the most common questions here, but don’t hesitate to reach out to me at angie@limeandlilydesign.com if you have more specific questions or ideas for a project.
I recommend reserving your calligraphy as early as possible, particularly for wedding invitations and larger projects. For envelope calligraphy, I typically recommend booking several weeks before your desired completion date. Larger custom artwork, monograms, and crest projects may require additional lead time.
