One of our favorite wedding design ideas is the blend of old-world and new-age details to create unique concepts. Hosting vintage-inspired nuptials is a lovely feat, and bringing some of those age-old ideas into contemporary form is quite the sight to see. Of course, achieving this balance can be a difficult task – where do you even start? There are a good number of décor elements that can be done in an old-fashioned way, and one of those is the calligraphy you choose to include around the event.
The beauty of calligraphy is a staple for wedding invitations, and it has also been gracing a number of décor items in modern weddings – brides and grooms are finding more and more ways to include it with every passing season. It’s the perfect addition to a spring wedding, as it’s delicate nature matches with the simplicity and natural splendor of the season. From laser-cut details to mirror writing to simple signage, there are a number of options available to brides and grooms.
