Hand-Painted Invitation: Cobblestone

July 5, 2012
by Allison

I hope everyone had a great Fourth of July yesterday! Our day was delightfully quiet…a painting in the morning, a trip to Anthropologie, wonderful food at Dandelion Pub, falling asleep to the sound of illegal fireworks.

Oh yes, and I also designed this invitation yesterday. The Cobblestone invitation features a watercolor cobblestone border that travels up the invitation. This cobblestone path symbolizes the colorful path the couple is about to embark on (and perhaps the colorful path that they took to get to their wedding day).

The typography has a wonderful antique, classic feel to it. The color palette is soft and approachable. I quite like this invite!

The Cobblestone Invitation is available for ordering under the Hand-Painted Weddings Shop Invitations tab.

Cobblestone Wedding Inspiration

This week I am inspired by cobblestones. I am lucky to live in one of the most historic cities in the U.S., Philadelphia. It still awes me that I am a mere walking distance to “our nation’s oldest residential street,” the nation’s first hospital, the Liberty Bell, the Constitution center, and much more! There are numerous cobblestone streets in Philadelphia!

There is something about walking down a cobblestone street that simply brings a person back in time. Whether you and your partner are history buffs or you both love walking the streets of a historic city, such as Philadelphia, cobblestones would be a beautiful theme for your wedding!
