Inspired by String Lights

  • July 23, 2012
  • by Allison

This week I am inspired by string lights. String lights are the epitome of lazy, hot summer days relaxing with friends on decks and porches. Smell the delicious aroma of barbeque mixing with citronella. Heirloom tomato salads, crisp beers, and sweet watermelon smack your lips….it’s summertime!

The epitome of a fall wedding complete with fall l The epitome of a fall wedding complete with fall leaves painted throughout. But what really sets this suite apart is the couple’s adorable cats and the Love Story map on their save the dates. I love painting a couple’s story into their wedding stationery—every detail is personal and reflects what’s most special to the couple.

If you are looking to work with an artist to set that personal, so you tone for your wedding, reach out—I’d love to learn more about you!

Just got back from the most incredible trip to Nic Just got back from the most incredible trip to Nice, France, where we stayed at the stunning @fscapferrat Grand-Hôtel du Cap-Ferrat, a Four Seasons Hotel. Between the kindest, most generous service, gorgeous architecture, lush gardens, Mediterranean views, and all the little details—it was heaven!

I’ve always had such a love for beautiful places and thoughtful details, which is probably why luxury travel and luxury weddings go hand in hand for me. It’s all about creating an experience that feels special and unforgettable.

And of course, I couldn’t help but daydream about designing stationery for a wedding along the French Riviera. (Have I mentioned how much I LOVE destination weddings?!) 🎨💌

Coming home with a camera roll full of inspiration and already dreaming of going back!

Special thanks to @letsgoglobetrotting_travel for setting me up with a room upgrade and expert travel itinerary planning!! Honeymooners—check her out!
In celebration of my trip to Edinburgh, I wanted t In celebration of my trip to Edinburgh, I wanted to share this invitation suite for a destination wedding at @1eileandonancastle in the Isle of Skye in Scotland. I adored painting the custom illustrated map with all of the local must-sees. On the back was their itinerary which was so thoughtfully prepared. And then the scarf trying Scottish tradition on the RSVP to add in some of the culture. Edinburgh is so dreamy and I really was inspired by that in Lauren and Collier’s invitation suite. #handpaintedweddings #handpaintedweddingstationery #scotlandwedding #destinationweddinginvitation
Vintage stamps are an unexpected detail that can t Vintage stamps are an unexpected detail that can tell a story on your envelope. Whether it’s a color story—such as all green stamps on a green envelope, or a personal story—such as adding personal details like a sailboat if the couple is into sailing, or even a story about the wedding—such as floral stamps that match the flowers at the weddding or a state stamp for the state of the wedding. Guests will recognize the details. #weddingdetails #vintagestamps #handpaintedweddings
Happy wedding weekend to Gillian and Taylor who go Happy wedding weekend to Gillian and Taylor who got married at @oceanreefclub in Key Largo! I loved working with them on their letterpress watercolor wedding invitation suite with metallic plum envelopes with beach scenes from their venue throughout. Their adorable dogs in a bow tie and floral necklace were painted on their RSVP for that personal touch. #keylargowedding #handpaintedweddings #beachweddinginvitation
Save the dates are an opportunity for fun! While t Save the dates are an opportunity for fun! While the invitation suite was a formal suite with a gold foil crest and watercolors with a limited classy color palette, the save the dates took on a unique, bold illustrated New Yorker vibe.

I painted the ceiling from the Metropolitan Club (their venue) with abstract couple and guests along the bottom. This is one of my favorite paintings—I even enlarged it to hang in my studio—which I also do for my couples—providing a keepsake print for framing, because who doesn’t love a frameable wedding moment ❤️🥰
