Quaker Wedding Certificates
A one-of-a-kind Keepsake
Every custom detail is as unique as the couple.
Many couples use the tradition of Quaker Wedding Certificates to commemorate their wedding ceremony. They develop a personalized certificate that contains the marriage information, vows, their own signatures, and the signatures of each guest. These hand-lettered, original documents may also be embellished with illustrations or a quotation important to the couple.
I will work with you to get every detail just right, including the style of calligraphy, the colors and imagery, and the overall design. I use archival paints, inks, and papers to create this lasting document of your commitment and the promise of support of your family and friends.

For your wedding certificate, there are endless design directions you can choose, from most simple, traditional, quiet and serene, to colorful and splashy. The examples below are divided into sections that may help the two of you identify the important elements for your own certificate. Relax and have fun with it. These samples were carefully developed with each couple, to create something uniquely their own. When you and I work together, I will help to develop your ideas further until everything is just as you envision it.
