Hand-Painted Weddings has our highest recommendation!! Do yourselves a favor and do not hesitate to choose Allison as your invitation artist!

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 every...
thing 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!!

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 fami...
ly, 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.

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!!!

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.

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.
