Today’s special wedding looks like a chapter straight out of The Secret Garden. The inspiration of this whimsical bird and garden theme evolved from a vintage headpiece, with lovely feather accents, that Maura, the bride and founder of Honey Darling Events, discovered while shopping for bridal accessories. She was drawn to my classic, yet romantic style of calligraphy. I lettered her invitation suite to reflect a natural, garden-y feel, using chocolate brown ink, letterpressed into 100% cotton rag paper. Maura came across a wonderful iron birdcage in an antique shop. It was the perfect piece to incorporate the place cards I inscribed into a seating card “tree”, using birds and nests.
Deerpark, which is like an enchanted garden in the middle of the amazing Biltmore Estate, was the perfect location for this lovely day. 
Maura said “Of all of the details from our special occasion, I have to say that the stationery components you created remain among our most treasured. From the elegantly addressed envelopes to the hand painted "Just Married" sign and the Marie Antoinette quote you scripted as a cake accent, your work was completely stellar.” 
A few months ago, Kevin was diagnosed with a rare form of lymphoma. It is my prayer that the love and strength of their marriage will see them through this difficult time. 
Thanks Maura and Kevin for letting me be a part of your spectacular day! Calligraphy and Invitations by A Fine Line
