April 2023 custom projects.
Between March - June, usually things get * extra * crazy in the studio! Most weddings take place from May - September which means a good portion of my clients invitation suites need to be mailed during those months! April was not full of as much painting and design as March. It’s been mostly finalizing details then formatting all the stationery for print and gathering it all for review as each bit arrives!
First up, this stunning Idaho wedding suite arrived from my printers and was quickly assembled and mailed! The bride and groom are from Australia but the brides parents have retired in beautiful Idaho and will have the wedding on their gorgeous lands! It was so much fun seeing all these photos of the grounds in Idaho, a place I have never been and truthfully did not know was so stunning. This suite features a great amount of hand painted detail and the invitation card was also letterpress printed. I’m in love!
I squeezed in a venue painting for a stationery friend of mine to use for one of her clients suites! I do commission my painting services on their own, in addition to all of my other services!
A true labor of love! This couple is getting married at the brides family home in Rhode Island. We went on a journey making sure the florals for this design were as close to perfect as can be! [ I try to avoid using the word “perfect” since we all know, it does’t exist! But we can get close ;) ] I couldn’t be happier with how the final design turned out for this suite. It feels perfectly organic, summery and sweet.
And this couple also included a love story which you know is one of my favorite services I offer! The bride and groom were born in the same hospital, how cool? And I got to paint their cute pup! Take a look above at all the beautiful details.
I’m finishing up a beautiful beautiful Hawaii wedding suite featuring a lot of hand painted, tropical details from the Hulalai Four Seasons resort and it will be paired with a stunning white foil design on coral paper, invitation design. I’m so so excited to finish these details and share the completed suite! My couples are incredible for trusting me to paint their stationery vision to life!
And lastly, these stunning square save the date cards featuring a bright bougainvillea floral design went out into the world! This is an intimate wedding, only 50 guests. With smaller weddings you can splurge on more details such as the hand lettered envelopes ad vintage postage! You’ll see here this collection of vintage postage tells a story for the couple. The couple is from Cali [ top right ], the wedding will be in the Catalina Island so we added the American stamp to represent the destination [ bottom right ], there are bison on Catalina Island, which I’m sure will be represented in the invitation suite! [ middle ], and we had to include a beautiful pink flower to represent all the bougainvillea! [ top left ]
Telling a story using vintage postage is one of the charming details you get on your stationery suite when you go this route!
