hi, I’m paula!

My journey with calligraphy began in 2014, where I was looking for a creative outlet from my daily grind.

With the first stroke of my pen, I fell in love. Evenings melted into nights as I lettered away onto inky sheets, filling my tiny condo with my new found passion. In 2015, I launched Paula Lee Calligraphy, a fusion of my love for calligraphy and design and my soft spot for weddings. Since then, there's been no turning back.

To me, calligraphy is more than mere lettering; it's an intimate expression of self. It's the beautiful imperfection of my handwriting, where no two letters are exactly the same. And weddings? They're not just picturesque moments; they mark the start of a shared journey, a new chapter. Crafting stationery isn't just a profession; it's a dream come true. To create for couples on one of their most cherished days of their lives is an honour beyond measure, a privilege I hold close to my heart.

I live in Toronto, Canada with my husband and two daughters. When I'm not designing, you'll find me savouring a cup of coffee or stitching away at my sewing desk.

Some Kind Words

“Choosing Paula Lee as the calligrapher for our wedding stationery was truly one of the best decisions my fiance and I made when piecing the details together for our day! We felt overwhelmingly blessed by Paula’s dedication to first sharing a coffee with us in person, listening to our story and vision for our wedding day, and then creating deeply personal and beautiful stationery. Our guests continue to share with us how delighted they were to receive such stunning invitations in the mail. We love Paula’s many thoughtful touches, including her incredibly clear and prompt communication over email, her commitment to honoring our short timeline and her effort to deliver our stationery in-person in adorable personally-wrapped packages. We will treasure our wedding stationery forever - thank you, Paula!”

“I am not sure where to even start? I guess I can say I’m a very picky client. My invites, favors, wine glasses, day-of signs were truly outstanding. She was so accommodating and any idea I had, she made it happen. Paula is incredibly talented and her work definitely shows, not a single detail missed. If you don’t believe me, look at her work. She is very easy to communicate with and always makes sure her clients are happy with her work before anything goes to print.”

“Our planner connected us with Paula for some wedding signage and favour tags. Paula was amazing throughout the entire process. She was professional, responsive, and especially patient with our questions and making last minute changes. I loved her work - my breath was literally taken away the moment I saw the welcome sign the day of the wedding. She is truly talented and delivers unbelievable work. I’d definitely consider going back to her for other (even non-wedding related) jobs. Thank you so much for gorgeous work and making our day that much more memorable!”
