A wedding is a most personal event, so it only makes sense that each element have significant meaning. For a hidden customization, add calligraphy to the bottom of shoes—the wedding date, bride and groom names, favorite quotes or love notes—you decide. One can take advantage of the dueling canvases and put ‘I’ on one sole and ‘Do’ on the other, for example.
“It makes for great photos and is kind of a surprise element added to the wedding,” says Cami Franklin of Calligraphy by Cami. When making it a DIY project, Franklin suggests using an oil based paint marker. And don’t forget to give it plenty of time to dry.
