Tell us a little bit about your business.
I’ve always had a deep passion for creativity and artistic expression. When my husband and I first got engaged, I was beyond excited to design and create all the signage for my own wedding. That experience sparked something even bigger – a growing passion for crafting meaningful, hand-lettered pieces specifically for weddings and events. And so, CalligraBre Sign Co. was born!
I fell in love with the timeless charm that vintage and ornate mirrored signage brought to an event, and started my own collection of pieces to rent to couples. CalligraBre Sign Co. is now a one-stop-shop for all wedding and event signage needs. Whether you’re looking to rent mirrors, need hand-lettering on your own items, or want custom acrylic signs, scrolls, place cards, or other decorative elements – I’ve got you covered.
Today, CalligraBre Sign Co. is a proudly woman-owned, sustainable, and inclusive business serving the greater Pittsburgh area. My mission is simple – to bring your vision to life and help make your special day more beautiful than you ever imagined.
What makes your work unique?
As a self-taught “lefty”, I pour heart and soul into every single piece I create. Each sign is lettered completely freehand – no stencils, no tracing – which means no two pieces are ever exactly alike. Just like you and your partner, your wedding signage should be one-of-a-kind.
What also sets CalligraBre Sign Co. apart is our exclusive Full-Service Wedding Rental Package – the only one of its kind offered by a small business in the Pittsburgh area. This package includes everything you need for your big day: a seating chart, welcome sign, one medium sign, two small signs, a card box, and table numbers. All rentals come complete with custom hand-lettering, easels and stands, and full delivery, set up, and teardown at your venue.
In addition to our signature mirrored signage, CalligraBre now offers customizable acrylic signs, tailored to complement your wedding color palette perfectly. Whether you’re drawn to the elegance of mirrors or the modern touch of acrylic, the design possibilities are truly endless!
I believe wedding planning should be exciting – not overwhelming. That’s why I handle every detail of your signage so you don’t have to. You can focus on enjoying your special day, knowing your signs will be beautifully designed and perfectly in place.
What is your ideal client like?
My dream clients are excited, friendly, and kind – with a soft spot for handmade details and a good pun (bonus points if you smiled at my business name!).
I pour a lot of heart and time into creating each piece, and because every sign is handwritten, you’ll notice the charm of little imperfections. If you’re looking for machine-perfect lettering or cookie cutter designs, we might not be the best fit. But if you want something truly one-of-a-kind that stands out from the typical wedding signage, I’m your girl!
I never trace or use computer-generated fonts – all of my lettering is done freehand in my signature style. That’s what makes CalligraBre Sign Co. so unique and personal.
Whether your style is romantic, rustic, vintage, rustic, modern, minimalist, or somewhere in between, these hand-lettered signs will tie your wedding vision together beautifully. And if you’re ready to hear a lot of “oohs” and “aahs” on your wedding day, you’re in the right place. Your guests won’t stop talking about your signage (in the best way) for years to come!
How do you work with couples to bring their wedding dreams to life?
Let’s be honest – wedding planning can feel a little overwhelming. That’s why I’m here to make the signage part easy, fun, and totally stress-free. I work closely with each couple, offering suggestions, sharing examples of recent work, and helping bring all those Pinterest-worthy ideas to life.
Every couple is different, and I’m all about meeting you where you’re at. Want to be hands-on with every design detail? Amazing – let’s collaborate! Prefer to sit back, relax, and let me work my lettering magic? I’ve got you. Whether you’re brimming with ideas or feeling completely stuck, I’m happy to offer guidance on wording, layout, and overall design.
I truly love working with clients who inspire me, challenge me creatively, and trust me to bring something special to their big day. At the end of the day, my goal is simple: I want you to LOVE your signage and feel like it’s a perfect reflection of your celebration.
