  • Inspired by a Beautiful Engagement Story

    Bassano di Grappa Invitation by Hand-Painted Weddings Bassano di Grappa Invitation by Hand-Painted Weddings

    This wonderful couple had a very romantic engagement story that they wanted to incorporate into their wedding invitations. The couple got engaged on the beautiful bridge in Italy named, Bassano del Grappa. The sweetest part of this story is that the groom’s grandparents got engaged on the same bridge years earlier! I was gushing when I heard this heartfelt story!

    The bridge and the cute little town were the highlight for the invitation art while the bride told me that the flower box adorned windows were her favorite, so I incorporated them into the reception card.

    I love when couples bring their sentimental personal stories into the designs of their weddings, particularly into their invitations!

    Destination Wedding Invitation to Cartagena, Columbia by Hand-Painted Weddings

    I love traveling, so when I designed the Venice Canal Invitation I was really hoping to receive some requests for custom destination wedding invitations! My wish came true earlier this Spring when I received an inquiry from Liliana who was getting married in beautiful Cartagena, Colombia! The street featured in this invitation is incredibly iconic as Cartagena, so it was easy to find inspiration photos for the painting.

    If you are planning your destination wedding, I’d love to work with you! Contact me to get your Hand-Painted Weddings custom quote.
