Top 5 Instagram Faves of the Week, 01.6.17

Instagram never fails to show us the most delightful details. We're swooning over these creamy hues paired with stunning calligraphy. Perfect for the first of the year!

Follow us at @wisconsinbride for more wedding and bridal inspiration, and don't forget to use #wisconsinbride for a chance to be chosen next week.

If you're looking to go beyond the basics of modern pointed-pen calligraphy, be sure to check out our intermediate guide! We recently updated it up to include instruction on letter consistency, letter connections, flourish patterns and two of my flourished alphabet exemplars. The guide also includes a tracing pad with one of the flourished alphabets and we've just released an optional letter connections tracing pad as well. If it's time to take your calligraphy to the next level, be sure to check out this intermediate guide along with the rest of my preferred supplies {including gold, rose gold & silver metallic inks!} in our shop. always a good time to freshen up your calligraphy stash + skills {direct link in profile | @nkimphoto | starter kit + video tutorial via same link if you're just getting started with the art!}

I've been trying to shoot some of my favorite invites over the past few days and my brain hurts. Just trying to channel my inner @ginnybranch and @maemae_co, two of the best gals in the biz in my opinion.
