Showcasing Love Stories with a Watercolor Venue Illustration

POSTED ON

August 1, 2023

In our stationery shop, I take immense pride in offering a line of semi-custom invitation suites. Undoubtedly, one of my favorites is the Classic Collection. These are wedding invitations and day-of stationery items forming the perfect canvas for couples to infuse their own personalities and wedding styles.

Today, we are beyond excited to share the stories of four incredible couples who embraced the versatility of the Classic Collection. They personalized it to create stunning, one-of-a-kind wedding suites that were a perfect fit for their day. Each wedding was unique and differed greatly in style. However, the beauty of the Classic Suite is its ability to take a venue illustration and the colors of their day to translate into the perfect sneak peek of the celebration for their guests.

Creating Wedding Venue Illustrations

Kaitlin and Brandon: An Intimate Mountain Wedding

Kaitlin and Brandon’s intimate mountain wedding at Rockwood Lodge showcased the seamless adaptability of the Classic Collection. They added a personal touch by incorporating a custom venue illustration of Rockwood Lodge highlighting the picturesque beauty of their wedding location. Shades of navy and lavender were elegantly woven into the suite, complementing their wedding day color palette and florals. This couple demonstrated how the Classic Collection can effortlessly blend with almost any style.

Sarah and Hunter: An Elegant Floral-Filled Day

For Sarah and Hunter’s classic floral-filled day at Rose Hill Estate in Nashville, NC, the Classic Collection was the perfect starting point. They used an existing watercolor venue illustration, infusing their suite with an elegant and airy charm alongside stately tradition.  Delicate shades of pink added a touch of romance. This created an invitation suite that perfectly captured the essence of their special day. The adaptability of the Classic Collection shone through, accommodating their classic and floral wedding style beautifully.

Meghan and Colin: An Early Fall Barn Wedding

Meghan and Collin celebrated their early fall, rustic yet elegant barn wedding at Walnut Hill in Raleigh, NC. They announced their special day through their own take on the Classic Collection. Their suite featured a watercolor rendition of Walnut Hill on their envelope liner, invitation, and details card. The pairing of blue and navy shades with complimentary copper, fall tones (thank you color theory!) showcased how the Classic Collection can effortlessly fit different wedding seasons and themes.

Kaitlin and Dustin: A Winter Wonderland Celebration

Kaitlin and Dustin’s vision of a winter wonderland wedding at Old Edwards Inn in Highlands, NC, was brought to life with the Classic Collection. In this situation, they commissioned a new painting of the Orchard House, their ceremony venue. Additionally, they selected deep emerald and ruby tones reminiscent of the holiday season to match. A mountain watercolor envelope liner tied the entire suite together, creating a winter wonderland-inspired masterpiece. This example showcased how the Classic Collection can be customized to embrace unique wedding themes, colors, and visions. I love when I’m able to create new venue illustrations for my couples!
