The calligrapher
Hi, I'm Lauren — nice to meet you.
I'm a Nottinghamshire-based calligrapher with a deep love for the written word. Whether it's wedding stationery, a gift for someone special, or a piece of wall art you'll treasure forever — everything I make is created by hand, with love and attention to detail.
Something Written started from a quiet obsession with ink and paper. I believe handwriting carries something no font ever quite can — warmth, personality and a sense that someone truly cared.

Kind words
What my clients say
Lauren created our entire wedding stationery suite and it was absolutely breathtaking. Every guest commented on how beautiful the invitations were. We couldn't have asked for more.
I ordered a personalised print for my mum's birthday and she cried when she opened it. Lauren's work is so thoughtful and the quality is incredible. I'll be ordering again for sure.
We used Something Written for our corporate Christmas cards this year. The response from our clients was overwhelming — everyone loved the personal, handcrafted touch. Highly recommend.

I recommend getting in touch at least 3–6 months before your wedding, especially for full stationery suites. Popular dates fill up quickly, so the earlier the better. That said, if your wedding is sooner, do reach out — I'll always do my best to help.
Yes, always. For bespoke commissions, I'll share a digital proof for your approval before I create the finished pieces. Your satisfaction is everything, and I want to make sure everything is exactly as you imagined.
Turnaround times vary depending on complexity and quantity. Small gifts and cards take around 5–10 working days, while full wedding stationery suites can take 3–6 weeks. I'll always give you a clear timeline when we discuss your project.
Yes! I'm happy to ship internationally. Postage costs and delivery times will be confirmed at the time of your order. All pieces are carefully packaged to ensure they arrive in perfect condition.
Please do! I love a creative challenge. Whether it's something from Pinterest, something completely original, or just a feeling you're trying to capture — share it with me. No brief is too big or too small.
Absolutely. I regularly work with businesses on handwritten letters, branded event stationery and corporate gifting. If you're looking to add a truly personal touch to your brand communications, I'd love to hear from you.
