Details are what create an impression, and impressions last.

We’re a perfect match if you find beauty in the details, have an affinity for words, and an appreciation of visual art.

My promise to you is that I’ll bring your unique love story full circle and to life through the exquisite, intentional details. This goes from the introduction of the event all the way through to the final moments when you’re sent off at the end of your wedding day.

I'm Shi

Your artist, calligrapher, and lettering expert.

I have always been an artsy person; Finding joy in creating and always having a project. I never knew what my niche was until I met calligraphy. It was when the pandemic first hit when we were all stuck at home. Naturally, I needed a new craft to get my hands on. I found a free, faux calligraphy class. From there, I absolutely could not put down the pen. I had so much fun learning more, exploring different styles, trying different writing utensils and mediums. I noticed it was not only so much fun for me, but also so therapeutic and meditative. I have always had an affinity for words. I loved getting to bring my newfound, beloved hobby together with words of encouragement and beautiful reminders.

When planning our own wedding, I had so much fun creating some of the details for the very special day. I enjoyed this creative process so much that I knew I couldn’t have it stop there. Before I knew it, I had multiple clients and many amazing partnerships in the wedding industry. I am now able to say that I am a proud business owner, steadily growing and making my mark in the Madison Wedding industry. I feel so grateful for all of the family, friends, clients, and colleagues that have believed in me and supported me along the way. 

“Shi really brought her creativity, bubbly energy, compassionate personality, and professionalism into everything she did for us. She was very responsive, always provided examples and visuals, and really made everything so personal. We discussed what our vision for our wedding was with her and she truly brought it to life. I would recommend her to anyone!”

If I were to style my own wedding invitations all over again, I would go with beautifully textured paper with a deckled edge. The suite would give minimalist, organic, vintage, and romantic vibes. It would be simple, yet a statement. I would absolutely be incorporating letterpress on gorgeous cotton paper, a custom monogram, calligraphy mixed with a serif font, and a hand-drawn map of the venue.

I would be incorporating all the jazzy embellishments from a painting of a gorgeous valley of wildflowers for our envelope liner, to wax seals holding each suite together with a gorgeous ribbon and vellum jacket.

I’m the gal behind the ink. And I am SO happy you’re here. It has been a short, but wild ride to get to where I am today, writing this lil’ ol’ blog post. Let’s rewind to the very beginning of the pandemic (I’m SO sorry to take you back there… I know, we’re all still recovering).
