Calligraphy Deets
February 28th, 2008 @ 9:34 am by Mrs. Lovebug
When I blogged about our invitations, I mentioned that our printer had the idea of having the calligraphy done in mimicry of the font we used. But until I looked closer, I had no idea just how perfectly she managed this. I just thought we had spectacularly pretty calligraphy:
But then, out of curiousity, I wrote up a few names in the font and placed them next to Brigitte’s calligraphy to compare:
Um, is that INSANE or what?! Could she have copied that font more perfectly?! I am humbled, truly. They are just so lovely. I hate to let them go. I especially love how some of the nicknames we used on the inner envelopes for our close friends came out:
And no, we aren’t having any statesmen at our wedding. This is an in-joke with one of my best friends - who happens to be an old ex-boyfriend. He always joked that if he were to attend my wedding someday, to another man, he’d have to be treated as royalty if he were to survive the experience. I couldn’t resist.
I wish I could hold on to these and just gaze at them for a few more days!

That is crazy! You and I are using the same font, I love it - isn’t it beautiful!
Plus the Ex-Boyfriend thing - OMG, you are a riot, I LOVE IT!
Are you kiddin’ me! She’s a machine!
So pretty!
That’s stunning!! Seriously, gorgeous!
I’m nervous about you posting your friends addresses on the internet, though… :o(
AMAZING!! now that is serious talent! It makes me want to whip out my calligraphy pen and start practicing…
wow…i can’t believe how perfectly she managed to match the font! and i’m digging the in-side royalty joke.
Wow they are amazing… I thought it was going to turn out that she cheated somehow and used a printer because they were so perfect!
they.are.amazing!!!!
Dang, she’s good. And truth be told…I like hers better. The spacing is easier to read. Nice choice!
wowwww!!!!! crazy!
anyway ms lovebug, would you mind sharing the font? thank you
I know, right? She’s unbelievable. But I have a feeling that after years of practicing, I STILL couldn’t write like this.
springb3b: yep - it’s called Feel Script
SHE ROCKS!!!
btw…where did you purchase that font? it’s beautiful~
leesuh: it’s called “Feels Script” from a company called Veer. Just Google it. =)
I just spoke to Tara from Ephemera - and I don’t know if it was this post, or your post about the receipt of your invitations - but she said that “Miss Lovebug’s post on Weddingbee certainly didn’t help” her very busy schedule. I think you might have single-handedly doubled Tara’s business. Ain’t nothin like free press!

*dies* The “His Excellency” is classic. Pure gold!
They are truly remarkable. I’m using the Feel Script, too and I can’t believe how accurate she got the “T”s!
Beautiful!
