  • White Lotus Lettering works across a range of surfaces and materials, depending on the medium and the goals of each project. While not every object is suitable for every technique, many items can be personalized through calligraphy, engraving, bottle painting, or heat foiling.

    Commonly personalized items include:

    • Wine, champagne, and spirit bottles

    • Glassware and barware

    • Fragrance bottles, cosmetic packaging, and candles

    • Leather goods such as wallets, passport holders, and luggage tags

    • Notebooks and select paper goods

    • Stone or marble coasters, and keepsake boxes

    • Tote bags and select travel accessories

    • Hair clips / claw clips

    • Compact mirrors

    Each surface is evaluated for compatibility to ensure the finished piece feels refined and lasting.

  • For weddings, I recommend booking 3–6 months in advance. For live events and brand activations, 2–3 months is ideal. If your date is sooner, reach out—rush projects are available depending on schedule.

  • Yes—travel is available. Travel fees vary by location, and I’ll handle the logistics so you can stay focused on the experience.
