• A Philadelphia Love Story Captured in Watercolor – Water Works Wedding Invitation

    I’m thrilled to share a custom wedding invitation suite that beautifully captures Bianca and Anthony’s love story and their iconic Philadelphia celebration. This bespoke watercolor suite, created for their wedding at the historic Water Works in Philadelphia, is a masterpiece in personalized details.

    The Watercolor Invitation Suite

    The main invitation is a blend of elegance and Philly charm, showcasing the iconic Philadelphia Museum of Art in soft watercolor hues, perfectly setting the tone for a romantic autumn wedding. Delicate floral motifs frame the couple’s initials, adding an extra touch of sophistication.

    Envelope Liner with Boathouse Row

    One of the suite’s standout elements is the envelope liner, featuring a watercolor illustration of Boathouse Row. This vibrant view of Philadelphia’s classic rowing clubs ties in the city’s beloved landmarks and adds a splash of local charm the couple holds dear.

    Custom Vellum Wrap of the Water Works Gazebo

    For an extra personal touch, a custom vellum wrap illustrated with the Water Works gazebo where Anthony proposed makes this suite incredibly sentimental. The translucent wrap adds an ethereal quality and gives guests a sneak peek of the wedding’s setting before they even open the invitation.

    Welcome Party at Harp & Crown

    The suite also includes an invitation for the welcome party, held at Harp & Crown. Illustrated with the unique bowling alleys in the venue’s basement, this card hints at a night of fun and celebration. The illustration captures the venue’s cozy, vintage charm, aligning perfectly with the couple’s vision for a welcoming, intimate pre-wedding gathering.

    This invitation suite goes beyond beautiful design—it tells Bianca and Anthony’s story with every brushstroke. From the locations that mean the most to them to the heartfelt details, every piece of this suite invites guests into the couple’s world, setting a meaningful tone for their wedding day.
