Wedding Calligraphy

Highlights of September and October, 2011

Here is a scan of a monogram I created this October for clients in NYC to use for their personal stationery and thank you cards. I LOVE doing monograms!

These escort cards were created for a wedding that took place at the King Family Vineyards just outside Charlottesville, Virginia, September 18th. The papers are Fabriano from Italy and the ink is a custom blend of walnut with bronze. I hand painted the leaves on each of the cards. Below the cards is the guest book I hand painted for the same wedding to match the cards. The cards and guest book were placed on the same table ...

Anne Sheedy is an internationally recognized calligraphy artist with a client base in NYC, San Francisco, Italy, the UK, and the Midwest. Formerly based in New York City, her studio is now located in Lincoln, Nebraska. She has 20 years experience doing calligraphy and design for weddings. She is also a classical musician and author. No wedding job is too large or too small. Rush orders are welcome.

“Anne [Sheedy] is such a pleasure to work with, her excellent attention to detail and uninhibited creativity can sometimes be taken for granted as she handles one challenge after the next. I would highly recommend her to anyone who needs a top notch calligrapher.”
RYAN ELSEMORE, Head of Production, Dogmatic.com, NYC

“As a member of the Friends of Music Committee at Yale, I had an opportunity to work with Anne Sheedy on two occasions: one was to create the invitations and concert programs for fund raising projects; another was to hand letter inscription inserts for rare manuscripts and books as gifts from the university to our more generous contributors. In both of these cases she was able to recreate or match the Colonial lettering styles we wanted. Her work is flawless, her professionalism consummate, her manner refreshing. ”
MAURY YESTON, former Director of Undergraduate Studies in Music at Yale University, Tony Award winning Broadway composer/lyricist and educator, BMI Musical Theatre Workshop, NYC

“The care with which you addressed the envelopes for my wedding invitations and thank you letters is especially appreciated because the envelopes in both cases were not your typical ivory stock; your elegant calligraphy in glossy black ink on deep blood red silk textured envelopes made the perfect first impression and reflected my wishes to a “T”. I look forward to having you address our Christmas cards, Anne!”

“Now that all the wedding “stuff” is over, David and I have had time to frame and mount our Ketubah. It looks fantastic (and I will send you a picture)!! We are very pleased at the way it turned out and all the special details you included in creating our gorgeous Ketubah! You really captured what was important to us both and the overall feeling we were looking to portray. I just printed out all the particulars you included in making it. David and I are going to put that on the back of the Ketubah so we have all your finer points to remember it by. I hope you are well and continue to create one-of-a-kind beautiful memories for others for many years to come. Kindest regards and many thanks, Anne…”

“The 25th anniversary gift that I commissioned from you could not have turned out better. It is hard to believe that my wife's and my intertwined initials could turn into a work of art, but in your hands they have. In their elegance, they stand for what we would like our quarter-century together to represent. Now we'll have to live up to the monogram! But, seriously, as you know, I was anxious to find a gift that my wife would recognize expressed the value that I put on our years together. I trusted you to design and execute such a symbol. The result is exquisite, the artistry immaculate, the lettering elegant, the overlapping blue and gold initials on gray background somehow transcending masculine and feminine tastes. Not only did my wife love it, but our college senior, on a brief visit home, noticed it immediately and was full of praise. Thank you, Anne.”
