The professional pics and video for this lovely wedding in Charlottesville by Eric Kelley Photography almost made me feel like a mother of the bride. My attachment came from the use of my Belluccia font, flourishes, ornaments and borders throughout the event. The real lovely Mother of the Bride, Deni Richards cleverly used it to create DIY projects to make her daughter Caroline’s wedding filled with darling personal touches.
With the added talents of Meghan Streit of Shindig Weddings and Events this talented team put on the wedding Caroline had always dreamed of.
When you check out the video keep in mind that there was a storm and resulting power outage during the reception. Eric and his videographer Adam literally saved the day with this lovely footage.

How sweet is this “Happy Tears” chalkboard sign resting by a container of vintage hankies?

The wedding program was simple and lovely. The flourished look of the Belluccia font added just the right touch.

I love the way Deni used a simple folding technique and my Belluccia font and ornaments to make simple but unique printed table numbers.

The menu peaks out of the napkin with just a touch of live greens, while the other side uses my whimsical Belluccia ornaments and font to showcase the delicious food that was served.

To honor the parents and grandparents of the couple, Deni displayed items from their weddings in an assortment of Cloche Bell Jars. Each jar had an attached tag with the couples name and wedding date. What a lovely way to include special family members.

Deni even pulled off making this enlarged Just Married sign for the traditional get away car.

Deni did an incredible job with all of these creative and fun items. I’m amazed at all of the unique ideas she, Caroline and Meghan came up with. Their hard work and attention to detail really paid off. (FYI: Deni did made all of the signage using Microsoft Word!)
I’m so happy to see my Belluccia font being put to use by some of the very people I had in mind when I designed it: DIY Brides and their creative mothers. ( as well as invitation designers and event planners). This is proof that it really does give you a custom look for a fraction of the cost.
Many thanks to Eric Kelley for the use of these photos and Meghan Streit of Shindig Weddings and Events who worked so closely with Deni and Caroline to put on this amazing event. Be sure to check out both of their websites.

It was so much fun to use Belluccia as the “signature font” for our daughter’s wedding. It added a beautiful design element to all the papergoods and chalk art, and fit perfectly with the elegant yet relaxed feel Caroline wanted for her wedding. I loved the creative process, and our guests were very impressed with all the personal details. Most important, my daughter loved every detail and that made it all worthwhile to me.
