    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
    • by Allison

    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!

Brittany and Nick got married this past weekend at Brittany and Nick got married this past weekend at the beautiful Beaufort Hotel in North Carolina! Their invitation suite featured four venue paintings! The couple wasn’t interested in a wedding crest/monogram so I did a painting of their church top and centered on their invitation card. Beaufort Hotel from the view of the water is painted along the bottom. In a similar fashion the Morehead Country Club was painted along the bottom of their rehearsal dinner invitation.

A special congratulations to Ali and John who got A special congratulations to Ali and John who got married this past weekend at Harbour Town Clubhouse in Hilton Head! Their coastal wedding suite featured a fun painting of the lighthouse on their save the date. Their invitation was a formal one with wedding crest and was wrapped in a watercolor vellum wrap featuring their venue (probably my favorite touch). #handpaintedweddings #watercolorwedding #hiltonheadwedding
The bride is an interior designer so her attention The bride is an interior designer so her attention to detail was top notch. She truly had the most elegance and pristine vision for her destination wedding at @belmondhotelcipriani in Venice, Italy. For her save the date I painted the Hotel Cipriani boat along the canal with the historic San Marco square in the background. I also painted Baroque architectural details in “Venetian pink” on the corners. Those elements were repeated on the couple’s invitation which featured a soft painting of the venue along the canal. A custom illustrated map was also painted in their suite—to get guests excited for their trip! The bride found these beautiful Venice inspired frames for her wedding day paper and I drew from the inspiration, along with the sculpture on top of the columns in Piazzo San Marco to paint a little lion detail for their escort cards. I also added an elegant oval shape to many of her signs which is a subtle, luxe touch I like to add if the designs are very simple.

This welcome party at @belmondhotelcipriani in Ven This welcome party at @belmondhotelcipriani in Venice, Italy was nearly as fancy as the couple’s wedding day so I worked with the bride to separate the look of their wedding day paper. The welcome party took on an elegant garden party aesthetic complete with fruits and colorful florals and accents of pewter. While the wedding was elegant neutrals with ivory and gold. There was a custom menu with a brushed lettered name on it that opened upwards with the guest’s specific meal inside. This brushed lettering continued on the drink menu and sign for the watercolor artist that was on site @studiosheean Custom luxe ivory cocktail napkins with a simple bright green monogram was handed out with the drinks.

It was a warm day full of love, 3 years ago! My dr It was a warm day full of love, 3 years ago! My dream wedding. Planning happened in such a kismet way—we got married in the side yard of a friend of a friend’s father’s mansion, which I painted on the wedding invitation and welcome sign. I also gifted the original to him as a thank you. ☺️ It was an intimate 50 person wedding so I considered all the little details from handwritten thank you cards on the ceremony chairs, to bug spray station, time capsule guestbook, a cutting cake made by my mom, and 6 signature drinks to choose from (more than I’ve ever painted on a client’s signature cocktail sign). Our wedding was garden formal and full of beauty (and love of course). Memories. 🥰 Photos: @wideeyedstudios Florals: @fleurishbmpr Flatlay photo: @jessicaschmittphotography
Wax seals that are fun and unique and fresh for yo Wax seals that are fun and unique and fresh for your stationery—that is one of my specialties! This dusty blue wax seal was the finishing touch for a surprise birthday party invitation along Lake Winnipesaukee in New Hampshire, and matched perfectly with the ducks painted in the lake on the envelope liner. ⁣ ⁣ I love painting buildings along the river, whether in New Hampshire, Philadelphia, Venice, or anywhere else, it is just so fun to paint the reflections in the water and get into the details of the buildings in my watercolor. ⁣ ⁣ Reach out if you would like to work together on your custom watercolor invitations for your 2027 and 2028 events!
