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

One of my contacts at Elizabeth Anne Designs recently renewed her wedding vows and had the sweetest idea -a time capsule guest book.  To celebrate with her husband and their friends and family, they created the time capsule together.

Each guest was given a folder in which they had materials to write down their 2009 resolutions, favorite memories of the couple, predictions for the next 10 years and their favorite things today. They had also been instructed to bring a non-perishable item that represented them now. Their folders and items all went into an adorable antique chest. The happy couple completed the time capsule by putting in one of their own programs, that day's newspaper and other various keepsakes from the event. Maybe they will have another vow renewal down the line and dig into the time capsule. :-)

I was happy to contribute to this special occasion for Ami. We did all of the calligraphy as well as the scrolled framework for the cards that the guests filled out.

I think this is a fabulous idea! I’d love to do this with my family during a holiday or maybe with my husband for our anniversary. =) Thanks for sharing!

What a great idea! I think this is a great, interactive touch, and a wonderful way to really remember your wedding down the line - my whole issue with time capsules was that I always remember EXACTLY what I put in, but I’d love to see what everyone else was thinking and planning at a wedding.

I love this idea! I’ll definitely use it sometime, though maybe not at our wedding.
