Hi there! I'm Grace. This is my space to write about design, calligraphy, weddings, DIYs, home decor and more. Learn more about me here!

sweet and simple rose gold table numbers from @kristiemasing’s wedding last year, and you can see a peek of the coordinating menus too! this tablescape was also so beautiful, and i’m honored to have been a part of it! i’m so grateful for wonderful clients who are a joy to work with 😊 // photo by @victoriabonvicini
one of my goals this year is to only say yes to things that will bring joy - so that i can make more time for the relationships and things that matter to me. life is too short to spend time doing things you don’t want to do if you don’t have to do them, you know what i mean? ✨ what about you? do you relate to this?
a few old favorite menu designs. clearly there’s a formula that works here: minimal color with a combination of hand lettering and clean type 👌🏼 and i had forgotten about that vellum menu 😍 which is your fave?
more invitations to destination weddings, please! i feel like the prospect of a destination wedding is such an exciting thing for you and your guests to look forward to, so why not really accentuate that by making the invitation an experience in itself? 🌿😊
