Another beauty created recently. This venue was originally painted for an envelope liner but looks great on a save the date too.

This is one of my favorite suites this year. I just love all the little details from the weekend details little icons to the castle envelope liner, white ink printing, layering of the invite, to custom matching wax seals. I love it all. It also doesn’t hurt that it’s green, which I’m really loving right now.

When ordering save the dates and invitations, remember you need to count households. Always add a few extras for any late additions that you may have forgotten, a couple for keepsake, and 1-2 sets for your photographer so they can capture a beautiful flat lay like this.

Ahhh… Etsy did it again, without warning. Last October I was “temporarily suspended” but then received an email the next day saying it was an error and they reactivated my account. Now it says I’m “permanently suspended” with no reason. I am hoping it’s another error but from what I’ve read online, it doesn’t look good.

If you have an open order or would like to place an order please message or email me. I can’t access any shipping information on Etsy so I can’t ship out orders I have ready. I hate this so much. I care that each customer is happy and I want to fulfill all the orders.

This sucks for my customers, and for me. Please please message me here or email me.

Throwback to a custom design I did a few years back. It was a joy bringing this bride’s specific vision to life.

If I were to post a new venue painting every day it would take almost a year to show every venue we have, and we are creating now ones all the time.

If we don’t already have your venue and you are considering commissioning us to paint it for you, get your orders in now as our queue is quickly growing. Also, I will be out of town for a few weeks in May so that will also affect timelines.

With over 300 venues illustrated, it’s hard to choose a favorite, but this one is up there. It’s also one of several options we have for the beautiful . I can’t wait to share the last invitation set we created that used all the elements in different pieces of the invitation suite and we customized it to add on touches of bright pinks to tie in the wedding colors.

Attention September and October brides, it’s time to start working on your wedding invitations.

Have you found the perfect venue? Then it deserves a special feature on your wedding stationery.

This save the date has an added layer of Forest green cardstock giving it that beautiful border and making it extra thick and has matching envelopes with beautiful liners and white ink addressing to make it extra special.

Torn edge paper makes each card unique and gives them a beautifully textured fluffy edge.

This upgrade can be added to any card in your order, or the entire suite. It’s just an extra $1 per card.

Haley loves these order because she gets to steal the scraps. In case you missed it, I posted a video of the thief a few days ago.

When should you mail out save the dates?
6-8 months before for local weddings
8-10 months before for summer and holiday weekend weddings where your guests are more likely to make plans or need to book accommodations early
12 months before for international destination weddings

So when should you order your save the dates? Now! It’s never too early to start the process.
Digitally printed save the dates typically deliver about 2 weeks from proof approval. If you want us to paint your perfect venue, add an extra 3-4 weeks at the start to give us time to create your the custom art.

Resident paper thief! She’s been stealing paper since we brought her home. She won’t play with paper if you give it to her, she HAS to STEAL it. Boxes of ripped paper and envelopes are her favorite! Swipe to see baby Haley’s first heists.
