Hand-Painted Weddings

Previously used Allison's Philly Love Finger Print sign for my friend's bridal shower and I just knew I had to come back for my own wedding! We just received our table numbers and cocktail signs with custom pictures of our dog and we are absolutely obsessed. The quality is amazing and it's exactly what I wanted! Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for something personal and specialized just for them.

We worked with Allison for our entire wedding suite, including custom illustrations of our venue in England for both the save the date and the invitation, a custom envelope liner, a hand painted map on our welcome cards, and day-of stationary. We were so thrilled with how everything turned out, and set the tone for a classic and elegant wedding perfectly. The menus and seating plan really added to the ambiance of the entire day. Allison also coordinated gorgeous calligraphy that really enhanced the final look. She was so accommodating, especially as half of our guests were in England as well as the wedding itself, she helped get everything to where it needed to be without any hassle on our end. She also took all the time needed to make sure everything was exactly how we wanted it. It was such a pleasure working with Allison from start to finish.

Allison does beautiful work and is responsive and so easy to work with! Would highly recommend her!

This review is a few months overdue, but I’ve been thinking about all the vendors I hired for my Italian wedding and Allison stands out as one of the best. From day one until the end, she was such a pleasure to work with. She exceeded all my expectations. She always understood my requests, her artistic abilities speak for themselves, and she always got back to me in a timely fashion. In hindsight I could have limited the back and forth a little, but Allison was calm and professional throughout the entire process. She’s a class act. I would definitely recommend her to anyone who asks! Thank you Allison!

We couldn’t be happier with our invitation suite that included custom watercolors of our venue, location of our wedding and a customized map of Italy where we will be having our wedding! Every single person we invited reached out to us to say how amazing and beautiful they looked. Several people said it was the prettiest invitation they had ever seen and that was all thanks to Allison. She helped make our vision come to life and make the invitation uniquely ours! Some real text reviews from friends: "Holy damn this is the most gorgeous wedding invitation I’ve ever received!!!!!" "My mom said the invite was the most beautiful one she’s every seen" Allison is incredibly organized and so flexible. When it came to answering every single one of our questions, she was quick to respond and accommodated every little change we requested. We also appreciated her transparency when it came to giving us options and clearly laying out pricing depending on what we chose. I would do my invitations all over again with her and highly recommend her to anyone!

Working with Allison was a dream! She captured our vision so perfectly and her attention to detail created the most amazing paper suite for our wedding. We're getting married at the college where we met and wanted our invitations to capture the magic of the campus and Allison's designs did just that--her paintings embodied the true essence of the campus and wowed our guests. She was so flexible, quick to respond, and helpful that it made this part of our wedding planning stress free. The unique and personal touches have made this one of my favorite parts of my wedding planning experience. If you're looking for an artist to create personalized wedding invitations that exceed your expectations, you need to use Allison!

Working with Allison made our wedding invitation suite so special, with gorgeous custom paintings of our venue, florals, and a crest with our three cats. In addition to being a talented artist, Allison is also organized and responsive, with clear communication throughout the process. Her attention to detail was a huge asset, and we highly recommend Hand-Painted Weddings!

We are forever grateful to Alison for bringing our vision of our wedding to life through our beautiful wedding invitations. We received so many compliments on our invitations and that was all thanks to Allison’s incredible talent. Her watercolor paintings of our wedding venue, Willow Creek Winery; Congress Hall Rehearsal and Welcome Party; Inn of Cape May wedding breakfast, and most importantly our golden retriever Leo were gorgeous. Alison was incredibly organized and so helpful on the additional elements we asked her to design. She created our table numbers; Signature Drink signage with our dog; napkin design with our dog; Welcome signage for both our Welcome Party and Day After Breakfast. There isn’t anything she can’t do when it comes to your design needs for your wedding.

We got so many compliments on our invitations/ day of paper and that was all thanks to Allison’s incredible talent. Her watercolor paintings of our venue, and our cat, were gorgeous. She’s also incredibly organized, and has a really helpful breakdown of costs so you can really understand what you’re paying for.

All I can say is WOW. Allison curated the most stunning invitations and save-the-dates for us, transforming our vision beautifully into watercolor. We loved her work so much that we asked her to design a substantial portion of our wedding signage. She was so flexible when we had to postpone our wedding (and hence some of our signage projects) due to COVID, and made us some gorgeous "change the dates". I am a detail-oriented and Type A person with high standards for professionalism and punctuality - and she exceeded all of my expectations. If you want gorgeous, original invitations, signage or whatever you may need, go to Allison!!! You won't regret it.

This review is long overdue, but it would be very remiss of us not to express our extreme gratitude for the beautifully hand-painted, one-of-a-kind wedding invitations that Allison created for our special day. From the moment I contacted Allison I knew I had found a talented artist to make my invitation vision come to life! My husband and I decided to have a small wedding with just our immediate families at our newly purchased home. We were looking to add some unique features to make our wedding day extra special. And so, we decided to commemorate our special wedding day by finding an artist to create a watercolor invitation featuring our new home/wedding venue. After doing extensive research, I contacted Allison and I am so glad I did! She exceeded all my expectations! Wedding planning on your own can be overwhelming, but Allison's process to making the invitations was thorough, simple and very pleasant. Not only was the process pleasant, but her communication and response time was impeccable! The design drafts she created for us were gorgeous. It was difficult to decide on one design, but after much debate, my husband and I decided on our design. I remember feeling so excited to share them with our families. I have to say, both of our families still have their invitations. They said that it was not just another wedding invitation but a piece of art, and I couldn't agree with them more! And so, I just had to get an 8 x 8 keepsake of our wedding day invitation to frame and display in our home. My hubsand and I absolutely loved working with Allison! I absolutely love her work and look forward to working with her in the future. Allison, thank you so much for making our wedding day invitations a treasured keepsake and for your beautiful hand-written and painted thank you card. Forever grateful, Jeanette and Michael

Wow, wow, wow. Allison designed our save the dates, invitations, and custom signage for our wedding day - everything was absolutely stunning. Her watercolor art is so dreamy. Honestly, I could rave about Allison all day - she was super responsive over e-mail and quick to communicate with. She had creative ideas and really captured the vision and mood I wanted for our paper goods. She's incredibly talented at what she does. Highly recommend!

Allison was amazing to work with and designed the most beautiful invitation suite for our wedding. She was always very responsive, wanted to make sure the design was exactly what my husband and I wanted, and delivered all the items on time. We loved her art work and she even included sketches of our two cats as part of the wedding crest which was our favorite part! Absolutely loved the final product.

Allison was such a pleasure to work with. She created all of the day-of stationary for my wedding (our menus, welcome notes, table cards, etc). She was so quick to write back to my emails, which eased my anxiety in the wedding planning. Her designs were beautiful and whenever I had any feedback she changed them right away to make my visions come to life. Everything was delivered in a timely fashion too. All in all, it was a great experience and I'm so glad I chose Hand-Painted Weddings!

Allison was so amazing to work with on our wedding invitation suite! She was able to create exactly what we were looking for (even better than expected) and all virtually too. She was quick to respond to any emails and questions, and quickly updated sketches and proofs with any comments we had. Her work is truly beautiful!! She even incorporated paintings of our three dogs based off of a picture we sent her. It was more than we could have asked for. I would highly recommend to anyone who is looking for custom invitations or custom stationary!!

We absolutely loved working with Allison! She was creative, communicative, and receptive to our vision. She made the process easy and fun and we are so excited to send our invites out!

, I had a wonderful experience with Hand Painted Weddings. Her work is amazing and she was so easy to communicate with. She was professional at all times and made the experience a complete joy.

We started working with Allison in early December 2021 to design our destination wedding save the dates. Even with the holidays it only took a short month to complete the entire process. Allison is professional, responsive, detailed, considerate, open to new ideas and a master at her craft. Our Save the Dates are more than what we asked for. They are beautiful. I would recommend ANYONE looking to create your dream wedding material to look no further than Allison. We will be using her again in the near future and sharing her information with everyone we know. You will not only be happy with your designs but trying to figure out where else you might be able to use her products.

Allison at Hand Painted Weddings is a complete and utter joy to work with. She is prompt in her responses and creation of her product, lovely to talk to, and produced GORGEOUS invitations for our wedding that exactly met what we asked for. She allowed us to send multiple inspirations and incorporated all of them in our final draft. Couldn't recommend her more for your paper good needs!

Highly recommend!! Working with Allison on one of our clients' weddings was a wonderful experience. Besides being ridiculously talented, she's responsive, attentive, and thoughtful. We enjoyed collaborating with her and look forward to more opportunities. ~Elegant Aura

Allison is extremely talented and provided us with the perfect wedding invitation suite for our winery wedding. We sent her two photos of our ceremony site and venue and she was able to replicate our vision perfectly and nailed it with less than 3 minor tweaks that we requested. Her work is beautiful and our wedding guests still don't believe us when we tell them our invitations were hand-painted. Working with Allison was a breeze from start to finish, and she was even gracious enough to meet up with us locally to hand off our invitations so that we could get them in the mail to guests as quickly as possible. Hand-Painted Weddings has our highest recommendation!! Do yourselves a favor and do not hesitate to choose Allison as your invitation artist!

I worked with Allison at Hand Painted Weddings to design custom save-the-dates and invitation suite for my destination wedding. The designs and custom paintings were absolutely beautiful and better than I could have imagined. After creating a pinterest board and having a quick concept phone call, Allison designed and painted a unique custom map of my wedding location, and then later created gorgeous invitations, reply cards, and info cards for the wedding invitation suite. I received TONS of compliments on the save-the-dates and invitations and really enjoyed the process of creating them. My husband and I will forever cherish the stationary and how much the designs embodied the spirit and beauty of our wedding.

It was such a pleasure working with Allison on all the stationery for our wedding. I first reached out in 2019 pre-pandemic, to work together on our invitation designs. Allison responded very promptly and we had a call together to discuss everything I had in mind for the design. She really captured what we were trying to create, with a custom watercolor map, invitation, and timeline. We ended up needing to postpone our wedding but when the new date was set, I reached back out to Allison for her help on the day-of stationery. She also helped us in creating an edited version of the invitation with the correct date as a keepsake. She designed our menu, bar sign for custom cocktails, and even worked together with me so that we could have a ceremony program that also doubled as a fan for guests on the hot day. She always did a great job making adjustments to the design based on my feedback and we received all the items in great condition and on time. Being able to work together on all the items was also great since it made it easy and everything had a consistent design to it. I'd definitely recommend Allison to anyone looking for custom watercolor designs!!

The map/schedule cards are by far one of my favorite wedding items yet! I cannot recommend Hand-Painted Weddings, enough! I am truly blown away by Allison's artistic abilities and her creative design techniques. From the moment I started working with her, the process was so easy and well organized - through the many emails and pictures I sent her, she saw my vision and went with it. I'm truly blown away by her talent and cannot wait to work with her again!

Allison was a pleasure to work with. From our very first email to her, she was extremely communicative and quick to reply even if we took a few days to think something over. She was punctual and set realistic deadlines for herself and sent out both our save-the-dates and invitations in the dates she committed to, and also openly shared when she would be unavailable. This straightforward, active professionalism was greatly appreciated. Now to the product. Allison is an expert at her trade. The watercolor artwork is incredible, perfectly capturing our concept for the save-the-dates based on a combination of photos, and adapting the image of our venue down to small, unassuming details. She is a great person to work with and you won’t regret it!

Even though we've had our printed invitations in hand for the past week, we were still absolutely stunned with how great they looked when everything was fully assembled and placed in the envelopes. We hand-delivered a few of them to nearby family, and some even cried when they opened the envelope! There's a lot of uncertainty in the weeks leading up to the wedding, but seeing how beautiful and refined our invitation suite is helped us feel like maybe this will all turn out alright after all. (At the very least, we're starting off on a very high note). Allison was thorough, easy to work with, and extremely communicative throughout the design + printing process. We're so happy we went with her for our invites—it's the best first impression our guests could possibly have.

Allison did such an amazing job with our custom invitations, detail cards, and thank you cards and was a such a pleasure to work with. From the samples we were able to order to the first zoom call to delivery, she made the process of designing and ordering invitations virtually so incredibly easy. She responds to emails so quickly, sends constant updates and previews, has such an impressive turnaround time, and will work with you to make sure every detail is exactly to your liking. On top of that, the quality of her work is amazing. We have received so many compliments on our invitations from our guests and will be framing a copy for ourselves. Thank you, Allison, for creating beautiful pieces that we will treasure forever!

Allison was extremely easy to work with. She had already hand-painted invitations for our venue that were in a different season than ours. We were undecided on our invitations until we saw hers and completely fell in love. She just had to change the invitation to a summer wedding from a fall wedding. She also was able to create our meet and greet invitations and we easily were able to have those designed and sent to us as well. Our guests and us loved having them to start our wedding celebration off.

Allison is a JOY to work with! She is so kind, helpful, and professional. Allison always responded quickly and was willing to create anything I asked. She exceeded all of my expectations! Her work is truly beautiful—it looks amazing in pictures online, but it looks even better in real life. You will not regret hiring Allison for your invitations or wedding day paper!

Working with Allison from Hand-Painted Weddings was so much fun! I had a few random ideas and she helped to bring them together so beautifully. She was awesome and timely with any tweaks I wanted to make along the way, and there was never any doubt that she could incorporate my latest idea. I couldn't wait for our guests to get them in the mail. I did quite a bit of research on custom invitations and in addition to her work appealing to me, her pricing structure is really fair and the package of offerings/information she provides from the start was really the most helpful that I found out there. Most fun part of the wedding planning process!

Allison is absolutely incredible to work with and I cannot recommend her enough!! Not only is she amazingly talented, but she is so sweet and extremely prompt! I love decor and art, so my invitations were possibly the most exciting part of my wedding for me, planning-wise. She made my vision come true and kept to my timeline. I cannot recommend her enough, honestly one of the best vendors I’ve worked with this entire process! I will definitely be contacting her in the future for small projects and custom thank you cards to have on hand!

SO. MUCH. TALENT. Allison is not only talented, she was also so kind, patient, and professional in all of my correspondences with her. I never met Allison, however she was able to capture our vision for what we wanted for our wedding day stationary (invitations, RSVP cards, details cards, seating chart, and welcome sign) like she was in my own head! Honestly, everything was more than I could have ever dreamt up on my own. Thank you doesn’t go far enough, Allison! We hope to work with you again someday for future events!

All I can say is that Allison with Hand Painted Weddings is truly INCREDIBLE!!! She took all of our scattered thoughts and ideas and put them to life on an invitation that was more beautiful than we could have ever imagined!! Her work is simply stunning and I have never received more compliments on an invitation. The quality of her work is FIVE STAR! Not only was the invitation beautiful, but Allison was lovely to work with. She always answered our questions promptly and throughout the process, she had sketches and drafts way sooner than I expected. This process of a hand painted wedding invitation was new to me, and I can't express how lucky we feel to have a one of a kind beautiful invitation that was created just for us. Allison is exceptional and I hope to have the opportunity to work with her on a future event!

Allison painted the most beautiful custom invitations and save the new dates for our wedding!!

Allison was an absolute dream to work with. She is so talented, kind, patient, and professional. I received many compliments on my save the dates and could not recommend her more!

I had a vision for my wedding including lots of color, my maltese, and FLOWERS!! I have always loved stationary (my first job was at Hallmark- I routinely send birthday, Christmas and Valentine's cards!) and envisioned something personal for my upcoming wedding. I initially contacted Allison interested in a save-the-date. I emailed her photos of what I had in mind. Her ability to bring my dream to life through a few photos and emails is out of this world! I seriously can't say it enough!!! My friends and family were blown away with the quality of her work including the intricate details and design!! It uniquely defined me!!! The stationary is even printed on watercolor paper so they each feel "original"! She was very responsive and timely! Throughout the designing process we decided to proceed with a wedding invitation, a RSVP card, a map with a detail card on the back, our rehearsal dinner invitation, a thank you note and an envelope liner! She printed the addresses for our save-the-dates after I sent her my address list and printed our return address on our wedding invitations and RSVP cards in custom ink! We discussed letterpress and foiling, although I decided against that. I am interested in having a matching program made into a fan for my ceremony as well! Each piece compliments the others perfectly so that they are each individual but connected through a flowing theme! I have framed the original save-the-date and it is hanging on my wall! A true piece of artwork I will cherish for a lifetime and my wedding guests surely won't forget! My stationary suite has definitely become the cornerstone of my wedding, uniting all of the details! Easily, the best decision and investment I have made thus far (although I'm also excited about my gown and cake, as well! :-)) I can't thank you enough, Allison!!!

Alison was SO amazing to work with! I am a wedding planner in CO and work with Hand Painted all the time with other clients so when it came time for my own personal wedding, I knew I wanted to work with Alison! She took the time to learn Tucker/my vision, was responsive, and beyond talented!! We had a lot of ideas and she heard them all but also helped us narrow it down and bring it all together. She helped with day-of stationary and rehearsal dinner items as well. She is well rounded and can do it all! Very easy to work with, great overall experience, everything was on time/schedule. Highly Recommend!!!

We had a wonderful experience working with Allison on wedding Save the Date cards for my daughter and her fiancé. Allison adapted a design we admired on another of her works and had a mock up and alternative suggestions to us within a couple of days. Her initial design was perfect! We also used her addressing service. I can’t say enough about how patient she was as we added, subtracted, and changed the list she had to work from. Finally, the finished products were delivered to us at a local coffee shop, because she noticed we were close by and wanted to save us the cost of shipping. The final product was lovely! The design, the quality of the paper, the font on the envelopes all exceeded expectations. We would not hesitate to recommend Hand Painted Weddings to all.

There are really no words to describe how incredible our experience was with Allison. She epitomized professionalism while exuding creativity, cheerfulness, and superb customer service. Allison prepared invitations, reply cards, a custom map, programs, menus, name cards, and a custom watercolor painting as a gift for our pastor. She synthesized all of the ideas and information I shared with her and designed exactly what I wanted on the first try. She patiently worked through my incessant changes and questions and delivered all of the products ahead of schedule. I recommend Allison without hesitation. She has an incredible eye for design that was evidenced by the countless compliments I received on all of our printed materials. Allison is perfect for the bride who, like me, will cherish a one-of-a kind invitation and printed materials for her wedding.
