The Hand-Painted Lemon Yellow Invitation is inspired by the Buddha’s Hand fruit. It is bright yellow like a lemon, but has geometric shapes that represent the fingers of this unique fruit. This invitation would be great in conjunction with a lemon themed wedding, or any sunny summer wedding.

I also love how the watercolor shapes in this invitation resemble a stained glass window with the white borders looking like the grout between the panes of glass. More specifically it reminds me of the stained glass at the Sagrada Familia in Barcelona, Spain. For those of you who don’t know, the Sagrada Familia is a cathedral designed by the artist Gaudi in a very gothic style. It is one of the most unique cathedrals! I visited the cathedral about 9 years ago, and have very vivid memories of strawberries and other fruit used in the sculptures, and I remembered how bright and beautiful the stained glass was!

This invitation beautifully bridges a modern and more traditional aesthetic with its mix of geometric shapes, soft watercolor splashes and hand-painted lettering.

The Hand-Painted Lemon invitation is now available under the Invitations Shop.
