Claire White – Flourishing with White Ink Calligraphy 0

Sep 18, 2018

Claire White – Flourishing with White Ink Calligraphy

In this episode, Angela and Claire discuss:

How Claire began her Calligraphy business and how she got started in the industry.
How Claire balances her intellectual side and creative side with the type of work she’s doing as a lawyer and as a calligrapher.
What an invitation suite means and what the different options look like (i.e. outer envelopes, inner envelopes, spot calligraphy, etc.)
Challenges that Claire faces in the industry and her business and what she has learned from those experiences.
Tips, tricks, and things to know when working with a calligrapher.

Key Takeaways:

Calligraphy is an art. Every calligrapher’s hand is different. They may be able to do something similar, but it will never be identical to someone else’s.
It doesn’t have to be expensive to get gorgeous calligraphy. There are ways to save costs, but still get the glamour that you want from your wedding.
The first wedding anniversary is paper, you can do creative things with calligraphy as an option (i.e. having your wedding vows written out and framed).
Don’t get overwhelmed with social media. Pick one platform, post regularly, and it does work.

"Other than wedding calligraphy, I’m always looking for ways to continue serving my clients." — Claire White
