A Chic & Intimate Wedding at The Colony Hotel, Palm Beach
There’s something undeniably captivating about an intimate wedding, and when set in the luxurious and timeless setting of The Colony Hotel in Palm Beach, it becomes nothing short of magical. This stunning venue, with its pink exterior and classic Palm Beach charm, is the perfect backdrop for a couple who wants a stylish yet personal celebration. Today, I’m excited to share how my hand-painted watercolor wedding invitations brought this romantic vision to life.
Palm Beach Vibes and Chic Elegance
The Colony Hotel is an iconic landmark in Palm Beach, known for its glamorous history, chic atmosphere, and vibrant pink facade. Inspired by this iconic setting, I designed a luxury wedding invitation suite that reflects the sophisticated tropical aesthetic of the venue while incorporating playful elements that make Palm Beach so unique. The result is a blend of elegance, nature, and fun—just like the couple’s celebration.
Details of the Invitation Design
The invitation suite centers around a beautiful watercolor painting of The Colony Hotel, highlighting its grand entrance surrounded by swaying palm trees with a vintage bike along the bottom. The blush pink tones of the hotel are balanced with fresh greens, making the artwork feel both warm and refreshing. The envelope liner was painted with lush greenery and blooming flowers, inspired by the wallpaper inside the Colony.
Pink flamingos—one of the signature elements of Palm Beach—make a delightful appearance throughout the invitation set. From the escort cards to the RSVP card and even the thank-you note, these iconic birds bring a whimsical, tropical touch. The flamingos gracefully represent the easygoing, relaxed atmosphere of a chic beachside wedding, and the hand-painted style adds an intimate, bespoke quality.
Luxury with a Personal Touch
I had the pleasure of working closely with the mother of the bride to bring this vision to life. This intimate wedding was all about celebrating the couple’s love with their closest friends and family in an atmosphere that felt luxurious yet warm. The hand-painted details of the watercolor wedding invitation suite allowed the couple to create an experience that started well before the wedding day—inviting guests to imagine the beautiful, sunny location awaiting them.
The calligraphy, combined with soft pink and green tones, helped bring an air of sophistication to the design, while the watercolor illustrations told the story of the couple’s chosen venue.
Celebrating Love in Paradise
There’s something truly special about celebrating love in paradise, and The Colony Hotel embodies the best of Palm Beach—classic luxury, tropical beauty, and chic glamour. Designing this luxury wedding invitation suite was a wonderful experience, allowing me to capture the essence of the couple’s romantic, intimate wedding while paying homage to the stunning venue they chose.
