Los Angeles, CA Map

September 14th, 2009 @ 12:42 pm by Laura @ Laura Hooper Calligraphy

Recently, we created this fun map for a Point Dume, Malibu wedding featuring our very own hometown, Los Angeles, CA. You can see that our couple wanted to showcase well-known Hollywood and Los Angeles landmarks such as the Sunset Strip, Hollywood Boulevard, Paradise Cove, the Santa Monica Pier, Beverly Hills, and downtown LA. This map even comes complete with the spotlights of Hollywood and an adorable icon of Grauman's Chinese Theater.

In addition to the landmarks, the couple also included spots with personal meaning such as the Huntley Hotel, Terranea Resort in Palos Verdes, the bride's family home, and of course the wedding location at Point Dume.

As you can see, there are many options to making your map special, and we love the framed effect on this one with the deep blue florals. The calligraphy on this map is Chaucer Script.

About Laura @ Laura Hooper Calligraphy

We were so happy when this bride asked us to do a map and itinerary for her Puerto Rican wedding coming up this month - especially since I myself visited the island just this past January!

Niagara Falls Map

March 10th, 2009 @ 11:46 am by Laura @ Laura Hooper Calligraphy

I love this great map I created for Lena, who was having a lovely wedding in the Niagara Falls Wine Country vicinity. I didn't even know they have vineyards up there, but sure enough, they do! Notice the gushing falls in the lower right corner. I spent a long time on this map making sure all the streets were accurate, and it turned out great. We even added a cute itinerary to the reverse side. It prints in full color on a thick white card and looks great in your welcome bags or in your invitation sets.

Continuing on our theme of save the dates this week is this beautiful letterpress map, printed double-sided and with a matching accommodations card. Done in the Paris design of our Lucky Orchid Invitation Line, the color was specifically mixed to match the pool-colored envelopes.

The Grand Poobah of our save the date line is the tri-fold. With six panels available, you can include information regarding every aspect of your wedding weekend. I usually like to incorporate a cover, map and formal save the date on the front, but on this save the date in particular we’ve got information provided on the reverse side as well. It includes an itinerary, accommodations and travel information.

About Laura @ Laura Hooper Calligraphy

When Whitney of Brown Sugar Designs and her client Sacha contacted me to collaborate on a map for her Save the Date set, I could not have been more excited. The save the dates had a specific green and gold color palette, and I made sure to put plenty of those colors into the map.
