Laura @ Laura Hooper Calligraphy's Picture
Laura Hooper, Northridge, CA Vendor: Calligraphy Website: Laura Hooper Calligraphy About Me: I've been practicing the art of calligraphy since the age of 12 and nothing gives me more pleasure than waking up each morning knowing I get to do what I do each day. I love having the ability to infuse my own personal style into each of my bride's special day. When I'm not working, I enjoy traveling, hiking, reading and painting; but most of the time I don't consider calligraphy to be work at all!
About Laura @ Laura Hooper Calligraphy

OOT_Bags1

In December, I was browsing around online and found that Elizabeth Anne Designs was featuring a guest blog by one of my clients, Blair, who had recently commissioned her map of Chicago. The custom map was to be used in the Out of Town Bags, and had all their favorite haunts, including the wedding accommodations, and several art museums. The reverse side featured a schedule and locations of all the train and trolley stations (not shown), so the map did have a sense of practicality in addition to being an artistic keepsake.

Here's Blair, bag in hand, in front of her Christmas tree! The reusable bags she chose are made of recycled fibers, and in addition the maps are always printed on recycled papers. We try to do our part here at being green

A great idea I’ve seen is reusable gift bags for bridesmaids. http://www.RuMeBags.com makes really cute bags in a couple of different sizes you can pack lots of great stuff in them for your bridesmaids. If you spend over $400 (before the coupon) you can get 30% off using the promo code: wedding
