Bespoke Calligraphy · French Riviera

Where beauty is
handwritten.

A bespoke hand-lettering studio in Nice, creating signage, guest details and keepsakes for the most considered celebrations on the Côte d'Azur and beyond.

The Studio

I believe the smallest details carry the most meaning. Every piece is drawn entirely by hand. Composition, spacing and ink chosen for one occasion only. Authenticity and intention, never mass production.

Two front doors, one atelier

Courtney, founder of À La Court, in her Nice studio

Meet the founder

I'm Courtney,
the hand behind
À La Court.

After nearly a decade in corporate analysis and operations, I chose to build a studio rooted in craft and care. Calligraphy was a way to slow down, to make something tangible and lasting in a fast, digital world.

I bring the structure of that background to the patience of hand-lettering, collaborating closely with couples, planners and brand teams so each piece sits naturally within the day it celebrates.

In their words

The welcome sign and dessert-table details turned out absolutely stunning. We received so many compliments. These handmade pieces made our wedding feel deeply personal, and we still display them at home.

Frequently asked

For weddings and larger events, three to six months is ideal, particularly through the Riviera's peak season from May to September. Smaller commissions and keepsakes can often be arranged with shorter notice. Once your date is held with a deposit, it is reserved for you alone.
