    Today I’m sharing Amanda and Derek’s stunning Philadelphia LOVE wedding that took place downtown this past June. From their LOVE statue themed wedding invitations to their horse drawn carriage through the city, this wedding is chockfull of Philadelphia iconography. Amanda and Derek got married at St. Paul’s Parish in the Italian market and took a horse drawn carriage through the city to the Ballroom at the Ben for their wedding reception.

    I worked with Amanda on her LOVE statue themed wedding invitations, which were our shop Love Park invitations with a map and folder enclosure add-on. I also worked with her on escort cards, thank you cards for her wedding party, and dancing shoes and guestbook signs (more on that in tomorrow’s post). It is so much fun working on the various pieces of the wedding because the bride and I build a relationship through the wedding planning process. Below I have asked Amanda a couple of questions to help inspire future Philly wedding couples.

    Allison: What was your favorite detail at your wedding?
    Amanda: Definitely my dress, cake, our matching Christian Louboutin shoes and the character of the Ballroom at the Ben.

    Allison: Favorite moment at your wedding?

    Amanda: Ah there are many!  First seeing each other in the church, leaving in the horse and carriage ride. People in the city were congratulating us, beeping/waving and telling me how beautiful I looked – I felt like a princess.

    Tribal Dreamcatcher Inspired Baby Shower on Hostess with the Mostess

    • September 4, 2015

    Dreamcatcher Bridal Shower featured on Hostess with the Mostest













    Sometimes I’m lucky enough to work on baby shower stationery and signs. This past May I worked with Truly You Events and the (at the time) mom-to-be on a dreamcatcher themed baby shower, which was inspired by the parents’ recent trip to Sedona. Sedona is a magical place…I adore it…so I knew this shower was going to be magical as well. So magical in fact that Hostess with the Mostess featured it on their blog today.

    Later I will share some more photos of this lovely event, but for now you must take a second a scroll through this beautiful party on Hostess with the Mostess!

One question I’ve been asked countless times over One question I’ve been asked countless times over the years is, “How long does it take you to paint?” And honestly? I struggle to answer. Because when I’m painting, I lose track of time. I get completely in the zone. If you’re an artist, you know that feeling—the hours disappear, and suddenly I look up and realize I’ve been painting for far longer than I intended. And I rarely paint something just once. I’ll often come back to a piece throughout the day, or even over the course of a week, adding details I notice from a different perspective. Those details matter. They’re part of why my couples choose to work with me—but I think it’s also the love I put into every single painting. Because these aren’t just illustrations of a place. They’re little pieces of a moment you’ll get to keep forever. @pestanapalace #handpaintedweddings #watercolorweddinginvitation #lisbonwedding #pestanapalace
