Working with Kristara was probably the best and most important choice I made during my wedding planning. She is incredibly talented and wonderful to work with. We hired Kristara as our "creative consultant" to do all the paper needs of the wedding and help drive the overall style and creative vision of the event and her work was spectacular. I gave her our theme and colors and she ran with it, starting with our save the dates, hand designing the look from painted watercolor flowers and addressing each gorgeous purple envelope (at least 25% of the guests displayed not only the save the date, but also the envelope on their fridge or mantel beacuse they were so pretty). She hand designed our wedding invitation suite and hand painted water color flowers on each and every envelope (inside and out!!) in addition to addressing them. I cant count how many invitees told me they almost couldnt bear to open the envelope because it was too pretty to be destroyed! She created our menus and programs as well that were gorgeous and perfectly matched the style she had helped cultivate for the wedding. Out of all these gorgeous things, my most favorite were probably the place cards. Kristara used colored agate slices as the place card, writing each guests name across a gorgeous vibrant geode. It was so beautiful and unique and many of our guests have them displayed at home now! On top of her fantastic work and sheer talent, she is a dream to work with. I live in Baltimore and was getting married in Pittsburgh and was able to work easily with Kristara in Houston for the duration of the planning (not to mention the fact she was pregnant and on maternity leave for a solid portion of my wedding planning, you never would have known!). She is responsive, knowledgeable and truly invested in helping making your day the best it can be, with the minimal amount of stress to you as possible. I had 5 bride to be's at my wedding and each and every one asked for her contact information, I'd book her now before she fills up if I were you!!
As a former colleague, fellow creative, and inspired friend of Kristara, I can confidently say she is the real deal. She will go beyond the calligraphy aspect and incorporate her professional creative experience to create something personal and exquisitely custom. With a relatable perfectionist personality, Kristara was able to complement my vision and make beautiful geometric place cards for my outdoor wedding dinner. She helped establish a convenient color-coding system for the meal selections, cut the cards into different multi-faceted shapes, and painted the names of almost 300 guests using watercolors. The brushstroke finish perfectly matched the font from my invitation suite, and I couldn't have been happier with her work!
Kristara did an amazing job with my wedding invitations. She was so attentive with every detail. We are both from different states, but she made the process so easy for both of us. She was so patient with my last minute changes as well. I will defiantly recommend her to friends and family.
Kristara is smart and super talented. I recently had the opportunity to attend her class as a surprise gift for a good friend. We had a blast and learned so much. Many have asked me about her class and I always tell them the experience is priceless. It is informative, inspiring, and oh so good for the soul. Highly recommend Kristara for all your calligraphy needs!
Beyond impressed with the calligraphy that Kristara completed for my weddings invitations. Her artistry shines through and her penmanship truly looks like a font! Kristara is brilliant and professional and I will sing her praises forever!
I couldn't be happier with Kristara's work on our invitations. I gave her a general idea (aka sent her a Pinterest board) of what I liked and turned everything over to her. She did an incredible job at a reasonable price and within the time frame we had set up.
She's super easy to work with, and everyone keeps complimenting me on the addressing for the invitations.
