crafting elegance: a modern calligrapher's process of creating the perfect wedding gift

oh, the joy of being entrusted with a meaningful project! and this one was especially heartwarming. the bride’s dad reached out to me, asking if i could weave the poem “plant a tree” by lucy larcom into my modern calligraphy style as a sweet wedding gift for his daughter.

lucy larcom’s “plant a tree” is all about nurturing and growth. i absolutely adore the metaphor of planting a tree, symbolizing love and growth—just the right sentiment for a daughter’s wedding! it’s like a father’s warm wishes taking root as she starts this new, beautiful chapter of her life.

this project truly tugged at my heart strings, reminding me of the magic that calligraphy can bring to life’s most significant moments. the honor of creating this piece ran deep, and it was a great reminder of how joyful it is to capture emotions in ink and craft them into art.
