Fashion Illustration Event of Guests At Calgary Fairmont Palliser Wedding

Anuja and Matt’s guests were treated to something different they’ve never experienced before, fashion illustration of themselves in their finest outfits! The bookings quickly filled up fast and the time flew by so fast.

Prior to the wedding, Anuja and Matt also commissioned in-studio illustrations with their family members. With in-studio requests, photos are a must and I also asked what each person planned to wear, hairstyle, height relative to the bride and groom etc. All of these questions are key to capture how these illustrations will turn out. After the wedding party finished getting ready with hair and makeup, the sketches were brought out as thank you gifts for all their help with the wedding.

Personalizing Luggage Tags For Corporate Vendor Event in Calgary

What a fun event where all the attendees could get a personalized luggage tag from the corporate company hosting the event. Over 120 luggage tags were personalized with either their name or initials, and people got quite creative! Majority of the attendees were out of town, so these personalized tags were right up their alley to use immediately when they return home.

Why choose personalization? Here's why it's a must-have:

1. Luxurious Appeal: The shimmering effect of hot foil stamping instantly adds a touch of luxury to your luggage. It's like giving your bags a VIP upgrade!

2. Personalization: Customize your tags with your name, initials, or even a meaningful symbol. It's a subtle yet powerful way to make your luggage uniquely yours.

3. Practicality: Easily identify your bags in a sea of look-alikes while in the airport’s waiting area.

4. Gift-Worthy: Looking for the perfect gift for a travel enthusiast? Hot foiled luggage tags are a thoughtful and practical choice that's sure to impress.

Bridal Party | Bottle Painting

This was a memorable private event where I painted on Jo Malone London candles for C&G’s guests. I did a bit of prep work deciding on the three painted designs: cherry blossom, peony and rose.

When the guests arrive, they would pick up the box with their name calligraphed on it, and choose one of the three flower types. I would paint away while the guests enjoyed cocktail hour followed by a delicious three course dinner. At the end of the night, the guests would find their personalized candles back in their boxes and ready to take home.

The guests loved seeing the candles painted and lots of happy comments of how pleased they were. This kind of personalization truly makes an intimate event memorable because they’ll always remember receiving a one of a kind item from the couple to thank them for their support.

Official photos from the event photographer will be posted when available.

Chinese Calligrapher Celebrating Events For 2024 Lunar New Year In Calgary

Another year has gone by in a flash and before I knew it, February 2024 arrived to celebrate the Year of the Dragon.

The past year has been an immense growth for me by progressing to a semi-cursive calligraphy style for returning and new clients who wanted a new blessing. The running style means adding a more artistic flair to the calligraphy, plus my own style is injected in it!

I returned back to Holt Renfrew again and the event was incredibly successful seeing new and familiar clients coming back. This month I also worked with Porsche for a private dinner party to calligraph blessings to their clients as well. All in all, 2024 is off to a wonderful start and I hope the Dragon Year will bring great fortune to everyone.
