The Love Story That Inspired a Font.

I love a good love story. After 35 years of marriage, I thought it was time to celebrate and tell ours in a very special way…so I created a font!

The name “Hello My Love” refers to the way we greet each other. As corny as it sounds, there’s nothing that puts a smile on my face more than to see my hubby, Michael, walk in the door, which is in direct sight of my home studio and say those 3 words.

We were married November 9, 1984.  Two kids and five houses later, we still like each other and feel an even deeper love and appreciation for our relationship. For us, that required a big celebration! So last October, we took a trip to Vienna and Italy with our sons Alex and Nick and his girlfriend Victoria.

This is all of us in Verona at a pasta making class.

But I wanted something beyond a trip to commemorate this wonderful moment in time. The font is that tribute to our love story. It represents the hard earned ease and flow that comes from sharing the ups and downs of life together and learning “this too shall pass”. It speaks to the level of gratitude that evolves after experiencing heartbreaking moments as well as extreme joy during the many years that we’ve been lucky enough to share together. But most importantly it’s filled with the love that grew and evolved into something that we cherish every day.

So how did this journey begin?

It all started many years ago when I first saw Michael at the age of 4 in his grandfather’s corner grocery store. I imagined he got to eat all the candy he wanted! Fast forward 12 years, and we met at McDonald’s after our high school’s football game. We dated for awhile but went our separate ways when he left for college. Eleven years later, I moved to Dallas.  Meanwhile, back in our hometown of Erie, Pa. his mom ran into my dad at a local Italian deli.  When he told her I lived in Dallas, she was delighted to share that her son had been transferred there 6 months earlier. When Michael called his parents at the usual time, she shared the news. He gave me a call. We reconnected at a restaurant called “The Magic Time Machine”. (How perfect is that!) And a year and a half later we were married at the same church both of our parents had been married in. Serendipitous to say the least!

I can’t imagine my life without this man who has taught, accepted, tolerated, supported and encouraged me for the last 35 years to follow my own unique path.  He puts his all into whatever he does. He is passionate about his family, golf, track and field and his faith. He’s been a loving, devoted father whose sons always know how proud he is of them. And he’s a great story teller, regaling us throughout the years with funny moments of his life working in his close knit family’s Italian deli and bakery. He is usually laughing so hard he can barely get the words out. I love his laugh. It’s a deep gut laugh. It’s like his whole body is erupting with joy.

I could go on. But I hope this helps you to understand the inspiration behind the font. I hope you have your own love story to tell. It doesn’t have to be a romantic one. It can be about having a special bond with a friend, a family member or discovering how to love yourself. We all need to learn that.

The love that inspired me to create this font, is not the kind of emotion you see in movies. Someone doesn’t complete you. It’s doing real life together, every day, with repetitive menial tasks, kids that don’t want to go to bed and parents who become ill. It’s never feeling like you can do it all but somehow managing the most important things because you’re doing it together. It’s going through the stages of life, re-inventing yourself and your relationship over and over. It’s knowing when you to let the small things go and focusing on the good that’s in front of you. Forgiving quickly, crying or comforting when the need arises, knowing when to lead and when to follow and always keeping a sense of humor…these are the subtle lessons that come only with time. This is, to me, what real love is about.

I’m grateful to have it in my life. And I wish I could pass it out like candy. But I can’t. So I’ve put it into a font. My hope is, that it’s used to celebrate many stories about real love.

Wedding Invitation Suites on Minted.com

 Minted.com does such an amazing job with their products and my Belluccia Calligraphy Font,

I had to feature them in another post.

Above is the Big Sur invitation  where rustic meets chic in this modern faux bois design.

The names and body copy are printed in a pretty teal color called central coast.

 As always, you can pick from several different shapes for your cards.

Here the Big Sur Menu, shown with square corners, has the same faux bois background,

but with the “weathered oak” color for the wording.

I love the look of the Baby’s Breath Wedding Suite.

This beautifully shaped invitation is shown in mint with all the wording,

including my Belluccia Calligraphy font, in gold.

The RSVP postcard is shown in the color “petal”.

What a great way to cut cost by

using one card which requires half the postage!

I love the way the lace forms a soft border around the wording.

Orchid and Turquoise DIY Wedding with Dom Loves Mary Font

I hope you all had a lovely holiday!

While it’s still cold outside, it’s nice to relive the beautiful June wedding reception of Lindsay and Gian Franco.

It was all easily done using my fonts and some shimmer paper!

I loved the color combination the bride requested for this invitation.

My Dom Loves Mary Calligraphy Font, with added flourishes, is featured on each card of the invitation suite.

The ornament in turquoise from my Cantoni Hand Drawn Ornaments adds a fresh, modern feel.

The white card stock in ice silver and the purple backing in amethyst are from Marsupial Papers.

 I was so happy to be able to celebrate with the lovely couple.  Their fairytale union began

when the bride went to Uruguay after college. There she met the dashing groom, Gian Franco.

 The wedding and reception were held at the elegant Marriott Quorum in Addison on

the Dallas Parkway. Stephanie Gibbons and staff were extremely helpful and attentive.

The decor made the room come alive!

From the purple and white centerpieces , created by Jessica Westcott of Felicity Florist,

and the turquoise table clothes to the purple glow of the up-lights and votive candles,

everything was awash in beautiful color.

The DIY table numbers and menus matched the invitation suite.

The table numbers were named after places in Uruguay that were special to the couple.

They were printed on a home computer and attached to the amethyst shimmer card stock.

The tent cards were from Paper Source.

 Delicious heart shaped cookies from “It’s a Mary Cake” doubled as escort cards and favors.

The 8.5″ x 11″ Bar Signs utilized the same Dom Loves Mary script font and were placed in plastic frames.

Three tiered glass goblets held purple water balls lit from within with matching submersible lights.

The DIY Mr. and Mrs. Cards were printed on 8 1/2 x 11 paper then backed with the

 same amethyst paper.

I love how the turquoise ribbon is threaded through the cards and tied to the chairs.

Image 87The actual ceremony had been held previously in a lovely park in another city.

So a table of photos from that magical day were on display for guests to view.

 Photo Booths are really popular right night and the guests love them because they

are super fun and give the guests a keepsake of the event.

This sign features the same fonts and colors of the wedding and was

adhered to a foam board.Image-83-e1415202792533

 

 The bride and groom wanted to have props for their photo booth which are

fun and super easy to make.  The sticks and wooden pieces were purchased

at a Craft store then painted and lettered with cute sayings.Image-82

 

 How cute are these pics of wedding guests having a blast?

Plus, they get to take it home as a reminder of Lindsay and Franco’s

special day.

One highlight from the reception was the salsa dancers.  During Lindsay and Franco’s

early dating days in Uruguay, they took salsa lessons and wanted to share the

dance with their wedding guests.  This talented couple from  Salsa by Sal danced for

the guests and then did some salsa lessons for them.  The guests absolutely loved it!

 What wedding reception is complete without a delicious wedding cake?  I love the simplicity of

this cake in white with the three different designs on each layer topped with a beautiful silver “S”.

Fresh purple flowers rest on each layer of the cake.

This beauty was created by the ever popular Candy Haven in Denton, TX.

Image And nothing says thank you like a letterpress card printed by the Aerialist Press!

I hope these pics show the many things you can do yourself to create a beautiful event!

Felicidades to the happy couple!
